      Hello to all

      I have a problem with my … PfSense attached the image of my situation, in this image are the various IP addresses that I have indicated with different letters for not essereci confusion ...
      my problem is that the various VPN must be handled by the firewall hold

      So how should I set up my PfSense for the traffic that comes from the VPN and VPN management steps remain to hold the firewall?

      Thanks to all

        You cannot not express IP addresses in letters! Not that way you did.
        In your map a.b.c.d is in the same subnet as s.d.f.g??? What is the network mask? 0 or a???
        You may replace the subnets with others, but always one certain net with the same other.

        Furthermore is your description incomplete.
        Which kind of VPN is it?
        Is the pfSense in bridge mode or does it NAT?
        Only one WAN IP or more?

          Hello I redid the pattern by changing the position between PfSense - Hold Firewall

          I also put the various IP addresses

          What do you mean "Which kind of VPN is it?"

          It only has a WAN IP

          PFSense NAT ago

          Hello and thank you

            Now you have a NAT Router in front of your firewall an you doing NAT three times in series. With this setup it's not easy to access your LAN, since the VPN is terminated on hold and there is a further NAT level between it an LAN.

            Why don't you switch pfSense and your internet router in bridge mode? At least pfSense.
            For the internet router otherwise you have to pass through VPN to hold.

              Hello thanks for the advice

              I wanted to ask if imposed PfSense in bridge mode, I can apply the same firewall rules, such as the IP block, DNS Forwarder etc?

              thanks

                Yes, as far as I know. But I don't use it in my environment.
                The logical difference is, you have no NAT and DHCP.
