      Hi,

      I've recently changed to using PPPoE directly on the firewall WAN interface rather than having an upstream router (that was mine) and the FW having a static IP.

      This issue "may" have been occurring previously, but if so I never noticed it!

      I have a static IP and a routed /29 subnet from my ISP

      When I ping a VIP from on the LAN interface (or from the FW Diagnostics), the traffic is passed to the gateway IP assigned by the PPPoE connection and is then reflected back to the WAN interface

      where X.Y.1.91 is a VIP on the FW
      and X.Y.12.68 is the GW given by PPPoE
      and X.Y.28.117 is the IP given by PPPoE

      Ping output:
      PING X.Y.1.91 (X.Y.1.91): 56 data bytes
      36 bytes from A.B.C.D.com (X.Y.12.68): Redirect Host(New addr: X.Y.28.117)
      Vr HL TOS  Len   ID Flg  off TTL Pro  cks      Src      Dst
       4  5  00 0054 1b67   0 0000  40  01 995f X.Y.28.117  X.Y.1.91
      
      

      Do I need to add some form of static route ?

      Is this related to https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/3331  Bug #3331 (Rules to pass out traffic for Proxy ARP VIP entries have an incorrect destination)
