      traceroute to dallas.testmy.net (75.126.77.87), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
      1  pfsense.localdomain (192.168.1.1)  0.408 ms  0.656 ms  0.878 ms
      2  pfsense.localdomain (192.168.1.1)  6.366 ms  10.830 ms  11.832 ms

      why does pfsense show up twice?

        Are you behind a double nat?  Just because it resolves to pfsense does not mean it actually is pfsense.

        What is the IP address pfsense WAN interface?

          The wan interface is my public ip address. I have not configured any nat at all

            Packet capture on your WAN filtering on that 75. IP and do it again, then stop the capture. I suspect your next hop router responds with source IP 192.168.1.1 on its TTL expired in transit messages. The response time shows it's likely coming from your upstream gateway.
