PFsense cannot ping on a new connection?

@Eddles
What's the status of the WAN gateway?
Check in Status > Gateways.If it's offline go to System > Routing, edit its settings and check "Disable Gateway Monitoring Action".

So I would expect, that you can ping 8.8.8.8 or other IPs in the web, presumed the outbound NAT is in automatic or hybrid mode.You can sniff the WAN traffic with packet capture to see if the ICMP requests leave pfSense with the correct WAN IP as source.

@viragomann thanks for this. To clarify, I CANNOT ping 8.8.8.8 or any other IP address EXCEPT for my ISP own DNS servers.

It looks good. Check the Routing tables in Diag > Routes. Make sure you have a default route via the WAN Gateway.
It looks like you probably do since you can ping the ISPs DNS servers and they are outside the WAN subnet. Unless you have specific static routes for those allowing it.
-
@stephenw10 heres the routing tables. Does this look ok to you?
Outbound NAT is in Automatic mode.
-
Nope, there's no default route. Go to System > Routing > Gateways and set the default IPv4 gateway as WAN_DHCP instead of automatic. Recheck the routing table.
