You are able to connect to FreedomBox machine, this means that
FreedomBox has its network configured and the network elements like
routers and cables are fine. Router is not blocking all traffic between
your machine2 and FreedomBox.
You are unable to access FreedomBox web interfaces, so that could be:
Your network interface is not added to proper firewall zone.
$ firewall-cmd --list-all-zones
will show the your network interface is not in 'external' or 'internal'
zone. This is in turn because network connection created by FreedomBox
setup is not being used.
$ nmcli device
will show that your device is 'unmanaged' or has a connection like
'Wired Connection 1' instead of 'FreedomBox *'. This could be because
of two reasons.
You have not cleared out /etc/network/interfaces file as described in
the Wiki Manual. If this is the case, clear out all the sections except
for 'lo' section and reboot. It should look like:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
Or your network interface changed after running freedombox-setup
(unlikely). In this case, fire up network manager text based interface
and configure a connection with zone = 'external' or 'internal'.
$ nmtui
==> Apache may not be running (unlikely)
$ systemctl status apache2
will show the status.
In case things don't work, post the output of the above commands.

No problem, I don't mind.
