      I hope everyone is staying safe!

      I am not sure what I am doing wrong here, but added a new interface and there is no connectivity. I tested the ping and traceroute using pfSense's Web interface as well as from a VM. Screenshot included.

      My main Lan Main_Lan which works fine is on 192.168.0.0/16
      My new interface Servers is on 10.11.8.0/24

      I have my outbound NAT set to Hybrid, only custom rules added are for VPN.
      My Servers Interface firewall rules seem to be good. Screenshot included.
      Only floating rule I have is for VPN, but it is tagged.

      I do have DNS Resolver Enabled. Screenshot included.
      I am sure it is something probably very simple and I've missed it.

        Need to see the routing table.

        Probably the IPA (PIA?) OpenVPN client is setting a new default route via IPA (they like to do that) and so all your traffic from SERVERS is going out that way but has no outbound NAT rule on the IPA_VPN interface so fails.

        Stop the IPA client setting a new default route or policy route traffic from SERVERS via WANGW. Policy routing it won't traffic from the firewall itself of course.

          @stephenw10 Thanks a lot for your response Steve. I have just given up and factory reset pfsense. But your comment will be useful when I setup PIA (Yeah abbreviations are hard lol) VPN in a later date.
