Trying to figure out why redirect host is showing up in my ping
-
@johnpoz Yes I am using PIA VPN locally on .101. Also I don't know why what the port 1337 traffic is.
-
Turn that OFF!!! Bet you your redirects go away..
-
I also see a redirect, in packet 451, coming from the gateway, which means the original packet is being sent to it. According to the message, the source was 192.168.80.101 and the destination .118. The packet in 450 shows a destination IP of .118, but the MAC shows the gateway. So, that means the sending device thinks the destination is off the local network and so is forwarding packets for it via the gateway.

That is the vpn service using a port that they shouldn't be for that protocol..
https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/helpdesk/kb/articles/understanding-the-wireguard-protocol
A WireGuard connection, therefore, requires connectivity to both TCP 1337 and UDP 1337 on the VPN server. -
Yup, looks like they are adding some BS route.
Try running a
route printon the Windows client there with the VPN connected and not connected. See what they are actually adding.VPN providers; discuss....

@johnpoz Thank you very much. That fixed the issue. I have no clue why it started malfunctioning. I have used PIA on WireGuard for a while and have not had any problems until recently. At any rate I have uninstalled and will try a fresh install and see if the problem comes back.
Once again thank you for help.

@johnpoz @JKnott @stephenw10 Thank you all for help. This issue was resolved with @johnpoz suggestion of turning off the VPN.

Well if your all set on using wireguard as the vpn protocol.. 2.5 is coming soon, and should currently work in the snapshots.
You should be able to move the vpn connection to pfsense, and route what you want out the vpn that way..
When your going to use a vpn on some client device on your network, you need to make sure it is setup in such a way to split tunnel correctly. Your local network should just be access normally and only traffic that should go out the vpn is stuff that is not local, be the actual network your on or any other local vlans, etc.
-
Yup, that ^.
It would be interesting to know what the PIA VPN client was setting though if you're able to get that?

If I had to "guess" prob something stupid like pointing all rfc1918 routes to the gateway and removing the local route...
I had asked to see the route table had I not ;)
-
@johnpoz @stephenw10 I did not get the route table earlier.... my apologies, although I was able to recreate the problem. PIA VPN does allow for split tunneling within the app. I must have inadvertently entered the .118 host IP to bypass the VPN because when I do that, it goes right back into getting stuck like it was originally.
-
But not sending .118 down the vpn, shouldn't send it to your gateway.. Try splitting the whole local network 192.168.80.0/24
Also when you do that - take a look at the route table
route print
from a cmd line
