Take that site with a grain of salt. Steve Gibson is known to be somewhat of an alarmist.
I wish the GRCsucks.com site was still around..

Ok I understand now. Thank you very much for your help.

Hehehe understatement of the week :)
The sky is falling is his moto for sure.. Back in the day raw packets were going to be the death of everything, hehehehe
Out of the box pfsense is "stealth" to use his stupid term..
I specifically allow pings on my wan, so I can actually have outside sites check if up ;) And I even reject the traceroute udp ports so I can get valid traceroute to my IP when remote - where it actually answers..

Yes, I remember all his hype back in the day. The sky was always going to fall, everyone ignored him and life went on as usual.

That's you pinging Google DNS and them replying.

ok. can you tell me how to set up a gatway group using 2 vpn servers to both use cloudflare dns over tls ? I might have missed a step while creating the config for the second server. Or should I create a new thread?

That's a new thread.
