      After the upgrade none of the computers on the LAN have internet.
      All rules have been disabled (except for anti-lockout).
      WAN and LAN traffic graphs show some activity.
      I have run a pkg reinstall.
      Any help would be appreciated.
      Thanks,
      Steve

          If I understand what you are asking, yes.
          I am currently connected with this PC to the cable router and the pfSense PC is also connected to the cable router.
          Any PC on the pfSense LAN can't see the internet.

                    Yes that works.
                    Sorry for being such a noob.

                        Yes.
                        In dashboard, the WAN and LAN have the correct IP.
                        Also, from pfSense, I can ping urls on the internet.

                          So that means you also have working DNS, and can ping netgate.com from pfsense?

                          This may seem silly, but re-applying interface settings may help.
                          Simply changing nothing and save and apply.
                          Save button at bottom of page.
                          Nothing has to be changed.
                          lan and wan

                            I set IPv6 to none on all interfaces (after disabling DHCPv6 &RA), saved/applied
                            No change

                              Is pfsense cpu at idl?
                              Do have any packages installed, squid or other proxy(s)?
                              Is pfsense handling dhcp?
                              Can gateway be ping 100% of time?
                              If pfsense ip is 192.168.1.1 can it be pinged?

                              ping -t 192.168.1.1

                                CPU is at 1%
                                Packages:
                                bandwidthid, iperf, suricata
                                pfsense is handling DHCP
                                No ping reply on gateway!!

                                  Please update us when you fix it.
                                  Is dhcp able to bind to the lan interface and reply to request?
                                  The dhcp logs can be found here

                                  http://192.168.1.1/status_logs.php?logfile=dhcpd
                                  

                                  Is your computer on a static ip?
                                  Does pfsense cpu ever hit 0% or is it idling at 1%?
                                  What is your "Default Gateway" at the computer using command prompt

                                  ipconfig /all | findstr /IR "Default ethernet adapter" | findstr /IRV "description tunnel vpn dial bluetooth [2-9]:$" | findstr /LV "*"
                                  
                                  

                                  All clients or just one not connecting to internet?
                                  Do you have ssh access?
                                  Is suricata on the lan wan or both?
                                  If suricata on lan try switching to only wan.
                                  I assume for troubleshooting suricata is off?

                                    From the computer connected to pfsense:
                                    Configured to get IP/DNS automatically

                                    per ipconfig:
                                    IP = 192.168.1.10 (as dictated by pfsense DHCP static mapping) so that is working
                                    Gateway = 192.168.1.1
                                    However can't ping 192.168.1.1 so I can't get to the log file but I can access it from pfsense

                                    Haven't seen CPU go to 0%

                                    so this is interesting. Dashboard shows WAN at 10.0.0.16 but Status/Gateways shows WAN_DHCP (default) as 10.0.0.1 and status is online.

                                    At the moment there is only one client but prior to this troubleshooting, there were many.
                                    I can physically access the computer.
                                    suricata in only on the WAN and running. I have stopped it. no change

                                        To me, you're wasting valuable time. Since you lagged in upgrading and have such a wide gap, the proper solution is to do a clean install of pfSense and restore config from a backup.

                                        pfSense+ 23.09 Lenovo Thinkcentre M93P SFF Quadcore i7 dual Raid-ZFS 128GB-SSD 32GB-RAM PCI-Intel i350-t4 NIC, -Intel QAT 8950.
                                        pfSense+ 23.09 VM-Proxmox, Dell Precision Xeon-W2155 Nvme 500GB-ZFS 128GB-RAM PCIe-Intel i350-t4, Intel QAT-8950, P-cloud.

                                          I can see the dhcp log through pfsense.
                                          The only firewall rule for the LAN is the anti-lockout rule.
                                          I added an Action-Pass, interface-LAN, protocol-Any rule and that worked.
                                          So do I dare try and restore a backup?
                                          I would think this rule should have been there by default and if so, why did it get removed on the update?
