In our company, we use PF sense to lease IP's to different computers. So PF sense is the default gateway with IP 10.8.2.1/27

How am i able to ping 10.8.3.215/26 with 10.8.2.3/27 ?

I see some configurations in PF sense...i.e rules like NAT port forwarding OpenVPN setup and all, but I dont understand it. Please help. How is this possible? What all settings are configured must be configured in PF Sense to connect different subnets ?

All PFSense needs is a route to the 10.8.3.192/26 network.

You as a user will send a ping to 10.8.3.215, your PC will see it's not in its own subnet so he will send it to your default gateway, 10.8.2.1. Your default gateway will use routing logic to find a path to the 10.8.3.192/26 network and send it out the correct interface. This will continue until it reaches its destination. Then 10.8.3.215 will send a reply back and that reply also needs to be able to find a correct path back, otherwise you'll get a timeout.

I don't know PFSense personally, but if you have any problems configuring it I would contact them or check out their tutorials: https://www.pfsense.org/getting-started/#installation
