Almost. In your original post you said that 10.0.1.100 is on OPT1.
pfsense's firewall rules operate on packets entering the chosen
interface. The rule above doesn't do anything until you change "LAN"
to "OPT1".

As you may have guessed by now, if you change "OPT1" in the above rule
to "LAN" I think you will be in business.

Note also that in your original post you didn't say whether you wanted
10.0.1.100 to talk to LAN hosts. If not, then your first rule is not
wanted. (if a LAN host connects to 10.0.1.100, it will be allowed to
respond, as pfsense is stateful.)

Hope that helps.
