Outbound NAT traffic being lost on return.
-
Hello! I have an odd issue I haven't seen before with pfsense.
I have pfSense on a VM with two NICs and a relatively default setup. The outbound NAT is on automatic, the WAN's gateway is properly defined, from pfsense I can ping outside hosts and can do DNS lookups.
When I get on a node on the LAN network, we can do DNS lookups against the pfsense box but can't reach the outside world. When I do a packet capture from pfsense on the WAN side, I only see the initial SYN going out. There is absolutely no traffic flowing back to pfsense. Any ideas?
This pfSense instance is a VM. Here is a quick diagram of the network on the host system.

Do a tcpdump outside the host on the router or connect another computer to the hosts eth0. Possibly the host is blocking the traffic.
