      Hello, I used pfsense before and it seemed to work, now when I try to use pfsense switching from my ASUS router to my pfsense box it has no internet access, originally I thought this was due to my ISP relying on mac address binging, so I spoofed my pfsense MAC to get the same one as my ASUS router and it received my static IP from my ISP over DHCP however, it still had no access to internet and I couldn't ping any external IP, any tips on resolving this issue ?

        Pfsense reinstall solved the issue, even though it was already a fresh install.

          I'm glad it worked out for you through reinstalling pfsense. Does anyone know what an alternative to that would be?
