Gateway bugs cause no internet dpinger sendto error 65
-
Getting the following in system gateway log, and have really limited internet, usually none. Was on 2.3.2 when it failed, just upgraded to 2.3.4.p1, same. Have tried ifconfig down/up on the interface. I can 100% access the pfsense page remotely over the WAN, but workstations cannot get out. I disabled gateway monitoring on that interface, no change, rebooted, same. All gateways show status online, and can ping them at 0ms.
This is a Netgate SG-2440.

Well…. turned out some user put a Tp-link managed switch in somewhere that was using 192.168.0.1, which by chance is the same as pfsense LAN. I dont know why, but this did not show up in the system log until hours later, and then it was in there every 20 seconds:
