      So in trying to find why I can't ping the outside world on the second WAN connection, I see from the log that all OPT1 traffic is being blocked by 'Default Deny Rule'.

      Where can I find this ?

        You need to pass the traffic from OPT1 that you want to let into pfSense to be sent on its way.  Look at the rules on LAN.

        Don't worry about the default deny, just pass the traffic you want passed.

          tried but didn't work. Is this correct ?

          Who'd have thought it would be this hard just to get a pfsense to talk to outside world!!

            That OPT is a WAN. https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=94566.msg525367#msg525367

            Plus, 17500/UDP has nothing to do with "cannot ping".

            @OP: Dude, stop multiposting and wasting other people's time. Also, upgrade your pfSense to something supported.

              probably easier if you just said you hadn't got the first clue how to fix it instead of that waffle.

                Dude.  You highlight OPT1 blocks then post LAN rules.

                Post your OPT1 rules and, please, read and understand this completely:

                  Why don't you just answer the questions on the other thread? And which part of "your unknown ~6 years old pfSense version is NOT supported and not something people are working with, nor anything they base their advise on" is exactly hard to get?

                    That might be the douchiest post I've seen this year. The clue bat is directed at you, bro.

                      Also, he's got hell of a mess there, including some prehistoric pfSense version and some complete nonsense set up including the ISP DNS servers on WAN being the OPT1 gateway (probably related to some overlapping multi-NAT.)

                        can't upgrade its hardware specific.

                        ISP DNS are NOT the OPT1 gateway. and DNS isnt a problem as OPT1 resolves without issue.

                        There is no NAT issue.

                        I have NO OPT1 rules same as I have no WAN rules and WAN works fine.

                        So BACK to the original problem, can't ping hosts over OPT1.

                          Can't support. It's not specific to anything except being fact of life. People don't use prehistoric buggy shit.

                          Yes it is. Actually look at the screenshots you have posted.

                              I said look at the rules on LAN to get you to see what you need to do on OPT1.

                                No, he told you to "Look at the rules on LAN" so that you get a clue on what should be set up there. (Of course, without knowing you are wasting everyone's time here with multiposts and not telling anyone that OPT1 is not a LAN interface at all.)

                                  Thanks for pointing that out, had overwrite from ISP ticked corrected now.

                                  Made ZERO difference to OPT1.

                                  Maybe just a bug as its an old release, doesn't seem i'm trying to push the limits though just wanting a WAN connection to actually work.

                                    Why so confrontational I clearly stated in FIRST post of this thread I had 2 WAN's ?

                                        Look, ISP DNS servers is something you get via DHCP - on supported pfSense versions, that is. Not something you manually type somewhere. I hope you finally can see the problem with your prehistoric shit. If you are unable to upgrade, you should switch to something else than pfSense or upgrade your HW. Because, the stuff you are using is actually very insecure (and buggy, and people are just not using it, so asking for advise is generally futile.)
