      Information:

      • Lan has a working wan/internet connection
      • 10.0.0.0/24 is the ip range I'm using for the opt interface
      • Pfsense is virtualized under proxmox (I followed: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/recipes/virtualize-proxmox-ve.html) and eth4 on my intel I350-t nic is bridged to the vm (same for my lan port)
      • pfsense has a public ipv4 and ipv6 assigned via my at&t gateway in passthrough mode (I only need ipv4 for this opt interface)
      • I do have a firewall rule configured for the opt interface to allow all traffic
      • When I connect to the opt interface, dhcp does assign me an ip and I can access the pfsense web interface, but pinging the ip, port scanning a ip, visiting a website does not work (does not work meaning: no connection, destination not found, no internet)
      • I have tried configuring a static ip on my pc connected to the opt interface with no avail
      • I know it's not a dns issue

        @perennial Probably a proxmox problem.

          Do you see the lease on OPT1 in pfSense?

          Do you see blocked traffic?

          Nothing else should be required in pfSense.

            @bob-dig Maybe, I'll mess with pfsense. What I find odd is that I can access the web interface through when I connected to the otp interface with ip assigned. I can ping the device connect to the opt interface from my lan net, but I can't ping lan net devices from the opt interface. My lan port is on the exact same setup, bridged port n all.

              Connecting to only the webgui on 443 but no ping sounds like you're somehow hitting the antilockout rule on LAN.
              Suggests the interfaces are not assigned how you think they are.
