Access FreeNAS from other subnets?

[Xenomorph]

FreeNAS is here: 192.168.1.100/24

Subnets all connected:
192.168.20.0/24
172.16.10.0/24
10.0.10.0/24
etc...

Basically, computers are all over. They share a common gateway, so I've had no issue connecting to a host on one subnet from another subnet. I can *ping* the FreeNAS system from any other subnet. Other than ping, it seems all other connections via anything other than the subnet it is on are blocked.

I want to be able to access the GUI from another subnet. How do I remove this block? I did not see an iptables configuration, and there was nothing in /etc/hosts.allow that seemed to be preventing access.

Thanks,

There isn't any kind of block in FreeNAS, check your firewall.

Works fine here in a heavily routed environment.

I came across this in my search with the same problem. This post helped me out. I hadn't set a gateway yet.

In order for other subnet to connect to your freenas server, you you have to add firewall access rule in your router to be able to route ip traffic from your FreeNAS server network to the other subnet then to add static routes in your freenas server network configuration

for example:
Freenas Server IP Address: 192.168.10.25/24
Client Network: 192.168.20.0/24
Client Network Gateway IP: 192.168.20.1

FreeNAS Configuration
1. Login to your Freenas Server. (for example in version FreeNAS-11.2-U4.1 )
2. Expand Network on the left column, Click Static Routes.
3. Click ADD buton
4. On Destination section, enter the Client Network (192.168.20.0)
5, On Gateway section, enter the Client Network Gateway IP address (192.168.20.1)
6. (Optional) On Description, enter Client Network
7. Click SAVE

Now, Client Network will be able to access your FreeNAS server.
