      Hi all,

      I have a strange issue being that my clients on the network can't seem to ping any hosts OR the pf IP.

      However, I have internet access, all traffic is routing as usual just this ping issue.

      pfsense can ping the host just not the clients on the network.  Clients are able to ping eachother.

      Any idea what would be causing this?

        You may have a firewall rule somewhere that's allowing TCP instead of Any.  Pings require ICMP.  Inter-LAN traffic doesn't pass through pfSense at all.  Post a screenshot of your LAN rules.
