      @mmiller7 The odds of ending up with the lan for vpn as that of a location you happen to be i would imagine is small but i can happen.
      One solution would be to advertise /32 routes over your VPN tunnel so for example if your NAS sits at 10.1.1.2/32 then push a route for that over the tunnel using 'push route' commands.

      Secondly, regarding the 10.206.16.1, is that showing up in the pfsense route table? If you go to Diagnostics / Routes do you see that anywhere? Are you scanning your WAN side? I can see that being a cable modem or ONT

        @mmiller7 which is why its good to use a non common network.. Pick some random in 172.16/12 range..

        Say 172.29.42.0/24

        10.0.0 would be a bad choice.. Anything at the very beginning of the range would be bad. I use 192.168.9.0/24 for my lan network. And other networks use 192.168.2 or above. 192.168.0 and 192.168.1 are very common you would find at say starbucks or at like a hotel or someone elses house..

          I would have thought my public IP address being 24.x.x.x and my WAN primary default gateway being 24.x.x.1 that I would see the next hop after my router be said default gateway?

          igb0 - primary WAN (cable internet)
          igb1 - failover WAN on packet loss (starlink)

          If I start trying to go to stuff in the 10.206.216.x (that was a typo 16 is wrong) it "looks" like some network stuff but I of course can't log in to try and make heads or tails of how/where/what/why.

            @mmiller7 Yeah i figured. Thats your ONT.

            If you see my traceroute its a similar thing. I am on ATT Fiber.

            tracert -d google.com

              2    <1 ms    <1 ms    <1 ms  192.168.1.254

              For a cable modem (what I have) it would be 192.168.100.1 or 192.168.0.1, no? That 192.168.100.1 is my cable modem config page. I'm perplexed where the other 10.x comes in?

                @mmiller7 Just looking at the ping times i suspect its your cable services CMTS.

                  From this I would say its upstream in your isp network. Those rtt would indicate its not actually local to you.. But somewhere upstream in the isp network.

                  There is nothing saying isp can not use rfc1918 in their network as transit.. It is not uncommon to see rfc1918 upstream in your trace. Not that long ago I was seeing a 10.x address at hop 3.. This could be the actual transit IP they are routing to in their network, or it could just be a loop-back address the router answers with, etc. But my isp changed something and I no longer see that..

                  Seeing rfc1918 in a trace is not uncommon.

                    So do I need to worry about my home subnets conflicting with unknown-size-and-location upstream subnets too now?

                    This is a first seeing/noticing something other than the 100 CGNAT or public-addresses "upstream" of my router...and if I hop to a machine at my parents' house (FiOS) their next-upstream-hop appears to be public address space after their home-router

                      No they are just transit.. Unless you wanted to say like ssh to that isp device from your home network and they conflicted - then you would have a problem ;)

                        Nevermind, just read the bit about connecting to home via OpenVPN.

                        You mention using OpenVPN, if so have you selected "don't pull routes" if you don't it's likely your default route is via your OpenVPN connection rather than your WAN link.
