        Diagnostics -> States -> States -> Reset States

        Read the text above the reset button.

                  Where are you trying to block traceroutes from, if its your local network out the rule needs to be on the LAN interface.

                      I saw 'somewhere' that trace route could be ICMP based.
                      Normally, it's UDP based.

                      @chrisjmuk : you want to hide your router from LAN based clients ? 😨

                      You can not fear attacks from the inside. Unless you created that situation.
                      Only trusted clients should be connected to the LAN interface.
                      Everybody else goes on a another LAN network, called OPTx where x is a number.
                      These guys shouldn't be able to connect to pfSense, the GUI (port 443 or 80). They can just use '53', '67', '68' and '123' (if you want).
                      Attacks from the outside isn't possible. pfSense, out of the box, is rock solid.

                      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                      Edit : and where are the logs ??

                        Forgot it could use UDP.

                            Do you have any floating rules, by default everything is blocked into the WAN interface.

                                  Post a screenshot of your WAN rules, as I said by default everything is blocked inbound on the WAN.

                                    yep just posted, because its all public IP's it cant work as like that, if i block ICMP on everything in WAN the public IP's will no longer ping, so just setting to the firewall ip itself.

                                            No luck, just blocked all UDP on the firewall ip and still traces.
