@NogBadTheBad

iam not seening this problem, but we habe disabled ipV6

Ah its the automatically selected interface that appears to be causing it, if I pick an interface it works as expected.

It would appear that a ping with the source address set to auto uses ping rather than ping4 or ping6 regardless of what the IP protocol is set to.

Yeah ….
Was about to post @me-too
As I was also selecting “auto select interface”, as I consider this a “don’t care” choice, and was a bit surprised that my selected “IPv4” gets overridden as pfSense prefers IPV6 part of my WAN (?)
