pfsense

in pfsense allow MQTT traffic from VLAN 10 and VLAN 20 to VLAN 30 on port 1883, where your Mosquitto broker lives (192.212.30.105)

✅ Steps to Add Rules in pfSense

You’ll need to add two rules — one on each VLAN interface (VLAN 10 and VLAN 20):

🔧 On VLAN 10 Interface:

  1. Go to pfSense Web UI → Firewall → Rules → VLAN 10
  2. Click “Add” rule at the top
  3. Set:
    • Action: Pass
    • Interface: VLAN 10
    • Protocol: TCP
    • Source: Single host or alias → 192.212.10.200
    • Destination: Single host → 192.212.30.105
    • Destination port range: From 1883 to 1883
    • Description: Allow MQTT from VLAN 10
  4. Save and Apply Changes

🔧 On VLAN 20 Interface:

Repeat the same steps:

  1. Go to Firewall → Rules → VLAN 20
  2. Add rule with:
    • Source: 192.212.20.250
    • Destination: 192.212.30.105
    • Port: 1883
    • Description: Allow MQTT from VLAN 20
  3. Save and Apply Changes

🧪 Optional: Make It More Flexible

If you want any device on VLAN 10 or VLAN 20 to reach the MQTT broker, just change the source from single host to:

  • Source: VLAN 10 net
  • Source: VLAN 20 net

That way, all devices on those VLANs can connect.
