        It works here. I'm on the latest version of pfSense.

        PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
        i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.
        UniFi AC-Lite access point

        I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

              What does your Gateways tab in pfsense show you - online or offline?

              Status -> Gateways

                Actually working now after I under the lan interface I set gateway to none then saved it. reselected the lan ip and did not save it but it started working. Wierd!

                  No, that's not weird.

                  If you manually set a gateway on a LAN or DMZ interface/network, that's the same as turning it into a WAN connection. There's more to it than that, but that's the rub...

                  Maybe one of the pros can stop by and spell it out in more detail.

                    Hello!

                    Is it something that could have been addressed in one of the 2.4.4 patches?

                    I am on 2.4.4-RELEASE-p3 and it looks like your router has the update available.

                      Not sure its still (WEIRD) to me because I did not make any changes to the system.

                        You removed the gateway from LAN. That's a big change to the system.

                        Without that gateway the WAN is probably the only gateway and therefore the default. With a gateway on the LAN the 'automatic' default gateway option probably set LAN as default and hence it failed.
                        Go to Sys > Routing > Gateways and make sure the WANGW is set as the default v4 gateway.

                        Also you're running 2.4.4-rel and the latest version in 2.4.4p3, you should upgrade. That would not change this though.
