When I try to ping by IP, it times out.
ICMP (is not UDP neither TCP) is allowed with firewall rules ?
I did say it worked via host name, that would show that ICMP is allowed, right?

from a browser in
That browser uses what DNS ? Maybe not pfSense so it couldn't know about the host over ride.
Yes, all the browsers in my LAN use my pf box for DNS.

If I enter the host name from a different subnet, I get a 'server dropped the connection' error.
The device with that host name, does it allow connections coming in from your other local networks ?
It does.
So I found out that I had to create a bridge network connection in order for my VM and host to talk to one another.
Everything seems to be talking correctly now.
My next hurdle is to get the packages I built the VM for to work, but that's beyond the scope of this forum.
For posterity, if you have TrueNAS and a VM, watch this video:
