      Start a ping to 8.8.8.8. Then check Diag > States to make sure the correct states are being opened. You should see a state on the internal interface and a state with NAT on the WAN.

        @stephenw10 the states relating to 8.8.8.8 all say 0.0

        I have no idea what this means though :)

          @keithunder I don't see where you answered my question about having any limiters configured...? In that other thread limiters seem fine for some but problematic for others.

          Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
          When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

              @keithunder Firewall/Traffic Shaper/Limiters, and there would be firewall rules and/or floating rules configured to use them. (in the rule, Advanced Options, In / Out pipe)

                  @keithunder You do have captive portal though, and there is at least one comment about disabling that fixing connectivity:

                      They exist on both interfaces though and have NAT correctly on WAN? Can we see them?

                        Hello

                        I am also having this issue.
                        I can confirm that Captive Portal is the cause, and that using "Allowed IP Addresses" or disabling Captive Portal restores SIP calling.

                        I am not sure if this is caused by VLAN interfaces conbined with Captive Portal because both of my pfsense systems use VLAN for Wireless, and both are affected.

                        Please let me know if I can provide more information to get this fixed.
                        Thanks

                          VLAN's or not. using Wireless devices, or devices using "cables", the issue stays.
                          Only TCP passes, no ICMP, no UDP. It looks like it's an ipfw issue, or worse, related so 'something' in FreeBSD 12.3, which means a simple 'patch' can't repair this. These are my thought of course.
                          If you need a working captive portal, consider going back to 2.5.2.

                            We have discovered the root cause of this now. It should be possible to patch the ipfw ruleset to allow it. https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/12834

                                https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/12834 doesn't contain "patch" info, just the issue itself and a the related forum thread " UDP/ICMP is not working after upgrade to 2.6.0 ".

                                I'm logged into redmine, but that doesn't show more info.
                                Is it 'not ready yet' ?
                                I have a captive portal up and running with several connected clients that are willing to test drive.

                                  Indeed it's not ready yet. We had a basic patch that worked past the issue for most situations but was still broken for the allow MAC table. However further testing showed other issues with more complex setups. Now that we know the root cause though we should be able to patch the ruleset to allow for it. We are testing patches now.
