                Please answer my questions if you want my help.

                What is their gateway setting?

                Can any of them ping the pfSense LAN address? I'm not asking if they can ping each other on LAN. I'm asking if they can ping the pfSense LAN IP address, perhaps 172.16.0.1?

                    OK then it sounds like they're configured properly. Next is firewall rules. Please post a screen of your LAN rules. You can upload images her directly. No need to link elsewhere.

                    Do you have any packages installed?

                        Those rules look good. What is WANs? A gateway group? Can you show System - Routing - Gateways and System - Routing - Gateway Groups?

                            I don't have a multi-WAN config so I don't have much knowledge there when it comes to gateway groups. Do other networks, like HOME or SECURITY, use the same gateway group? Are there any other clients on the TOWER network? Are these Ubuntu clients static or DHCP?

                              @KOM Home and Security Share a gateway and one WAN, Office Has its own gateway and WAN, Tower has its own Gateway and WAN. Tower is where the Ubuntu Clients are along with tons of Wireless Bridging Equipment that connects all my Employees back to the main office. We were running Windows PCs until the Microsoft Accounts got hacked for the 10th time this year.

                                    What is the output of:

                                    sudo ip route | grep default

                                      Are the Ubuntu clients actually getting IP addresses from the pfsense DHCP server? Or is your DHCP coming from somewhere else?

                                            @communitylinksd Not quite. Looks like you just pasted your answer to the other guy. Here is what I get:

                                            default via 10.10.4.1 dev ens33 prot dhcp src 10.10.2.5 metric 100
