        And it's still failing with 'no route'?

        It could be something upstream returning no-route. Try to ping pkg01-atx.netgate.com directly.

            Try pkg-static -d4 update at the CLI.

                Aha! Well that is almost always something blocking it.

                Are you running Snort or Suricata? pfBlocker maybe? Check it's not blocking that traffic.

                      Something is blocking it. Do you see anything in the firewall logs?

                          Is your WAN using a private IP?

                          If not what is that rule? Is that something you added?

                          Do you see the TCP traffic from pkg blocked there also?

                                In the firewall log.

                                However if you have added block rules on WAN or floating they may not be set to log. Have you added rules there?

                                    Those ping blocks are frequent. Were you running pkg update at the time to generate some tcp traffic.

                                    Also they are shown blocked from the WAN IP to the gateway but not shown as outbound....

                                    Do you have any rules on the floating tab?

                                    You also have a pass all IPv4 rule on WAN which is almost always a bad idea. I assume you added that just as a test.

                                            Ok, check the ruleset file /tmp/rules.debug

                                            What is rule 12001 there?

                                            That traffic should not be coming into WAN.
