VLAN wont Ping to Internet
-
Good Saturday to All -
I was hoping to be past some of these beginner questions at this point, but I'm just not there yet.
So, on my pfSense setup I have a VLAN (VLAN_50_IoT) in place that works fine and will ping internally as well as to the internet. It is using the LAN as the parent interface. But recently I tried creating a new VLAN (VLAN_TEST) just as I always do. I create it in interfaces, enable it, initially create an allow all firewall rule, and set up dhcp for it, and it doesn't work. Even though the settings appear to be exactly the same,as VLAN_50_IoT, other than VLAN_50_IoT is routed out to the Internet over VPN.
My question is, at this point shouldn't I be able to use the pfSense ping tool and ping from the new vlan outside to the internet? I'm not sure if I inadvertently changed a setting somewhere, but I can't get any new vlans to reach the outside world.
Thanks for any suggestions or help!!
Here are some screenshots of the current setup:

Figured out what the problem was for any folks that have this problem in the future.
Somehow my NAT selection mysteriously switched from Hybrid to Manual.

Hi @nosenseatall Yeah! outbound NAT are essential to allow packets between WAN ~ LAN (VLAN) interfaces.
