        Provide details of your LAN, and the output of ifconfig from one of the Linux boxes. If other LAN clients work then the problem is with these Ubuntu clients. If they ae the only clients on the network then your problem may be with your network config.

              PfSense WAN ip is through Viasat
              PfSense Lan IP 172.16.0.1-172.16.15.254
              Ubuntu IP 172.16.12.240
              Nothing Special for routing.

                        Please answer my questions if you want my help.

                        What is their gateway setting?

                        Can any of them ping the pfSense LAN address? I'm not asking if they can ping each other on LAN. I'm asking if they can ping the pfSense LAN IP address, perhaps 172.16.0.1?

                            OK then it sounds like they're configured properly. Next is firewall rules. Please post a screen of your LAN rules. You can upload images her directly. No need to link elsewhere.

                            Do you have any packages installed?

                                Those rules look good. What is WANs? A gateway group? Can you show System - Routing - Gateways and System - Routing - Gateway Groups?

                                    I don't have a multi-WAN config so I don't have much knowledge there when it comes to gateway groups. Do other networks, like HOME or SECURITY, use the same gateway group? Are there any other clients on the TOWER network? Are these Ubuntu clients static or DHCP?

                                      @KOM Home and Security Share a gateway and one WAN, Office Has its own gateway and WAN, Tower has its own Gateway and WAN. Tower is where the Ubuntu Clients are along with tons of Wireless Bridging Equipment that connects all my Employees back to the main office. We were running Windows PCs until the Microsoft Accounts got hacked for the 10th time this year.

                                            What is the output of:

                                            sudo ip route | grep default
