Hi everyone, I'm experiencing difficulties configuring routing between two pfSense devices. The primary firewall has these networks: WAN 192.168.1.0/24 (IP 192.168.1.250), LAN 10.1.70.0/24 (IP 10.1.70.254), IT LAN 10.1.20.0/24 (IP 10.1.20.254). The secondary firewall includes: WAN 192.168.1.0/24 (IP 192.168.1.2), LAN 10.1.10.0/24 (IP 10.1.10.254) and HomeGuest LAN 10.1.10.254. When I attempt to set up a gateway on the secondary device, it displays 100% packet loss while the main firewall reports success. I've reset both devices and tried different versions without resolving the issue. Any suggestions?

You set up two routers or firewalls for redundancy and coverage. The network layout connects them in a star configuration, allowing traffic to flow efficiently between devices.

Maintain distinct separation between your home network and laboratory environment.
