Strange Routing Issue
-
So you would think that I would be able to do this at this point.
I am setting up my 4th or 5th pfsense system. It will be remote to my home office but I am trying to get it setup locally before deploying.
I am using an ATT modem (but with an assigned static IP address and in bridgem mode) for my temporary internet source. The WAN interface reports the proper public IP adreess and I have internet access in general.
The problem was recognized whem I could not get a connection with a setup site to site WG connection. As I troubleshot , I found weird behavior -- I could go into the diagnostics and ping google.com or cloudflare.com sucessfully - however if I tried to ping the static IP of my home office it would timeout (that address is easily able to be pinged from third PC, outside of the network).
What should I look for to find out why I can't ping an address that would be the endpoint of one my WG tunnel?
EDIT
It is so ODD -- I can ping almost any address (IP or name - like google.com, chase.com, etc). But when I try to ping the IP (numerical) or the DNS associated with that IP address of MYDOMAIN.com - it fails -
So I think I may have found at least part of the issue --- any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a static IP (for my ATT modem)
I took the pfsense device out of the equation and with it directly connected to a PC I am able to reach certain websites , like :
google.com
cloudflare.combut my domain which has DNS thorugh Cloudflare - the modem is not able to reach the site.
the attached arethe traceroute results:
are there any suggestions ??
I assume only ATT can fix

@ahole4sure
traceroute
may or may not work (the devices on the way to the target may not support it). I'd say aping
is preferred for a quick test.What are you referring to by '... able to reach certain websites'? Do some open when you access them in the web browser? And others not, and if not what error do you get?

How did you have pfSense configured, static IP and gateway (information you got from ATT?)? What DNS server have you set to be used?
And I'd think you have a good chance searching the forum for ATT, maybe someone else had a similar issue with this ISP.
