      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.

                                  Ok try this. Click on the red X in the firewall log. What rule does it show has blocked that?

                                      You see that on the rule that's marked '12001'?

                                      You would expect to see traffic blocked inbound by the default rule but not what shows in the log there.

                                      It could be something upstream sending back the permission denied response. You have active filtering on the gateway device?
