Can't ping from GUI, unstable game server connection, gateway monitoring does not work
-
Hmm, Ok so that's a completely different NIC, not on the expansion card?
And I assume ifconfig still shows checksum off-loading is disabled?
And you cannot ping out to anywhere from the firewall?
I'd probably re-install clean at that point just to be sure. A default install with an Intel NIC is close to guaranteed to work. It's hard to see what could be causing that.

Correct, that NIC is the onboard one, not a port from my i350
I tried a clean install before but it did not help with my issue..
I can ping from my computer but i cannot ping from PfSense itself...

I mean really we can only conclude that the checksum really is bad and whatever is sending it is for some reason breaking it's own replies but only to the next hop.
Try testing pfSense behind something else perhaps?
Steve
-
If i am correct, i should try testing PfSense with a different router (Instead of my provider's modem/router) ?
-
Yes, if you can. Or better, without the ISP's router at all.
-
So, now I am using a TP-Link Archer D2 as my gateway. Unfortunatelly, my ISP won't let me change modem. I can ping the gateway but cannot ping anything behind it... Oh god....
For example, I cannot ping 1.1.1.1... What a mess....
-
So from TP-Link or from pfSense?
You put the TP-Link in between pfSense and the existing router?
If not can you not use pfSense with the modem directly? So it gets a public IP on it's WAN.
Steve

From PfSense I am able to ping my TP-Link Router but cannot ping anything else that's connected after my TP-Link router. At monday I will change my modem with a different model that my ISP offered to me, hope that fixes the problems...
I ran a traceroute, PfSense sends the ping and never gets a reply back... Something ain't right
It is really stupid that I have to go though this, because they do QoS on their modem and they won't let me change to another PON modem / router... Other ISPs in my area offer a GPON Terminal and let you hook up whatever router you want, but they do not offer the speeds that i need. Greece's internet ISPs are just terrible. I hope in the next 2 years things get better...
Note: Can't really blame my ISP, I am using a internet connection for home users to host servers. My budget is really tight and I cannot afford to give 52 euro / month for a bridged connection.
-
Subnet conflict maybe? They need to be using unique subnets between each router.
-
I don't think there is a Subnet Conflict
Here are the subnets
Modem: 192.168.100.1
TP-Link: 192.168.200.1
Pfsense: 192.168.2.1, 192.168.3.1 -
That should be fine.
So effectively the same as before?
Can clients behind pfSense ping further?
Typically when pfSense can only ping it's gateway it's because it has a bad default route. Check the routing table in Diag > Routes, make sure the TPLink is the default route.
Steve

Seems like it's default route is TPLink
Same as before, clients can ping further
I'll get my modem changed today, we will see the results after that. Hope that's the issue.
-
So great news! After I changed my modem / router, everything works as it should! Seems like my ISPs modem is garbage. Now for some reason players are experiencing really high latency, but if I remember correctly, that's only a problem with the onboard NIC.
Thanks a lot for the help :)

Nice. That's some weird behaviour.
