      Hi guys,

      Here is my problematic setup.

      internet -> pfsense in LAN1 10.1.1.0/24 -> router -> LAN2 11.1.1.0/24

      LAN2 has an illegal internal subnet. LAN2 cannot get on the internet.
      All routing has been verified; LAN rule added to allow the subnet. LAN2 can ping the internal pfsense interface.

      I suspect pfSense doesn't like the external (lan) subnet when natting; I have not figured out how if there was a way to resolve this issue apart from re-IPing LAN2.

      I have searched but havent found something similar or may have not searched for the correct term?

      Thanks for helping!

        OK I figured it out by enabling manual NAT and natting the bad internal network;

        I don't recall having to do this for the same setup with "correct" lan subnets.

        Hope this helps,
