No route to host
-
Heyo,
I'm currently running pfSense at OVH in VM on my dedi. But it started saying 'no route to host' all of a sudden and no changes have been made to the firewall.
I've done some checking and devices behind the firewall work ok and traffic is flowing from the LANs to the WAN and i'm not sure what else to do or how to fix it?
Can someone give me some pointers on what to look for or how to resolve it.
Thanks!

@kieran123 "no route to host" in other words, your Internet maybe down check Ethernet cable, modem etc.

@NollipfSense Thanks, I checked the internet was working as VM were able to connect to the internet and inbound connections were working.
Unfortunately I don't have physical access to the server as its in OVH's datacenter.

What's actually broken here? You are just seeing that error?
Something is trying to connect to somewhere that has no route. So usually that's because the firewall lost it's default route (otherwise it would have a route). It could also be some local gateway that has stopped responding that it needs for a route.
OVH is notorious for weird addressing/subnetting schemes so you might have something odd like a gateway outside the local subnet.
