      Hello,

      Here is a bit of a mystery problem.

      Devices:
      1x pfsense 23.09.1-Release VM running in ESXi-7.0U3g-20328353-standard
      1x Ubiquiti USW-Lite-8-PoE
      1x VM running in ESXi or proxmox

      Problem:
      I cannot ping 8.8.8.8 or ANY internet IP from a device in VLAN 42.

      What works:
      I can ping the gateway (pfsense) 192.168.42.1/25
      I can ping and access the VM via SSH from another VLAN (20), so inter vlan traffic works OK.
      I can access internet and every other VLAN works all fine, and all services I publish work from internet -> pfsense.

      What I have tried:
      Changed VLAN IP -> no effect
      Changed VLAN ID -> no effect
      Removed NIC from vmware and added a new NIC -> no effect
      Tried to move the VM from same host which it is running to another host with same tagged VLAN -> no effect
      Allowed all traffic from VLAN to ANY -> no effect

      What can I try next?
      Or is it just easier to reinstall the whole pfsense back to CE, as reinstall will wipe my pfsense plus install :(

        Investigated a bit more, and just installed a new pfsense 2.7.2, and everything works ok.
        So the issue is most likely in old pfsense configs, but I think I'll just migrate all services to the new one and call it a day.
