      Hello there,

      the IP Address for my website is 10.0.0.2 with gateway 10.0.0.1
      my workstation on the company 192.168.0.0 gateway 192.168.1.101

      i can browse 10.0.0.1 the gateway and open the webpage for the pfsense, but I can't browse my website 10.0.0.2 from the workstation

      How can I make the workstation browsing the website without making bridge between the LAN's

      please help,
      thanks.

        I presume @hossam.khalili:

        How can I make the workstation browsing the website without making bridge between the LAN's

        Please help by providing additional information.
        What is the name of the pfSense interface on the 192.168.1.x network?
        What is the name of the pfSense interface on the 10.0.0.x network?
        Do you have the default firewall rules?
        What does the browser report on attempting to access the web site? What URL do you use?
        Does your access attempt appear in the pfSense firewall log (Status -> System Logs, click on Firewall tab)?

            Default firewall rules allow all accesses arriving on LAN interface and block all accesses arriving on other interfaces. Your web browser access to server n Orange interface should be allowed by firewall rules. Perhaps the Orange interface is not in the correct state. What is the output of pfSense shell commands:```
            /etc/rc.banner ; ifconfig

              "and i use the default firewall rules"

              When you create a new interface (opt1) and give it a name - it does not get any default rules like the lan interface gets.  you will have to create the firewall rules you want traffic coming into this interface to be able to do.

              If you want it to be able to access your lan network 192.168.1.x then you will have to create that rule on the orange interface rules.

                Original post said there was problem accessing website on the orange network from LAN. That should be allowed by default rules.

                    I don't see any attached images.  :-\

                    Please post the output of the commands Wallabybob asked for above.

                    How are you trying to access the website, by URL or by IP?

                    Steve

                          Thanks for the additional information. There is nothing there that I think explains what you are seeing.

                          Does the web server on the orange network log access attempts? Do the access attempts appear there?

                          Have you used packet capture on the web server to verify the access attempts arrive there and appropriate response is generated?

                            Also I see you have removed the 'default LAN to any' rule. Any reason you did that?

                              Why do you say it looks bad? The network has been referred to as 192.168.1.x which suggests it might have been meant to have a netmask of 24 bits rather than 22.

                              Good question, but the posted rule set should allow web access from LAN to 10.0.0.2.

                                You're right in both cases. I didn't think through that subnet.
                                These things together though seem to indicate this box may be quite far from default.  Assume nothing!  ;)

                                  Agreed. I have been suspicious of "I didn't change anything" since dealing with someone complaining two program runs with the some data gave different results. How could this be? Some digging around turned up the "insignificant" fact that the data was on punched cards (who remembers them?) and the deck of cards had been dropped on the floor. "same data" sure - but "randomised".

                                      You could answer the various questions above.  ;)

                                      This should work without any special configuration. There are (at least) two reasons why it might not work:
                                      1. The firewall is blocking the connection. This should be allowed by the pfSense by default. It looks like it should work with your existing rules too. However I see you have removed the 'default LAN to any' firewall rule. Why have you done that?

                                      2. There is some routing problem preventing traffic either reaching the server or replies from reaching you. Again this should work by default. We spotted that your LAN appears to be a /22 subnet, is that deliberate or a config error?

                                      Have you changed anything else in the box, like added manual routes or gateways?

                                      Steve

                                        thanks Steve for reply,
                                        Actually, "Default LAN to any" is a rule i made it, then i removed it and create what I attached on the last image.

                                        but i agree with the second reason, how can i fix "Routing problem preventing traffic"?, cause if i change my IP to 192.168.3.x/24 i can access the website.

                                        Thanks Again.
                                        :)

                                          Ah, then I suggest you have a subnet mismatch somewhere.
                                          Do you mean if you change the IP on your client to a static 192.168.3.X/24?

                                          Did you intend to have the /22 subnet on the pfSense LAN interface?

                                          Steve

                                            yes, if i change any client to 192.168.3.x/24 the website browsing

                                            no problem, regardless of subnet if changing the subnet will fix the problem, show me how can i do it
                                            thanks.
