      I have a Netgear 4100 running 24.11 release.
      Lan1 is connected through the WAN via openvpn.
      I'm trying to add opt2 to connect to the WAN with no vpn.

      I can create the LAN port, start the dhcp service, and have setup the firewall to allow all. However I can't ping from the PC to the Lan2 port, or from the router to the PC.

      Attached are screenshots of my configuration.

      Any help would be appreciated.

        @geevans Lots of open states on that firewall rule.

        Is the netmask a /24 on the PC? Looks like it is on the pfSense which is a common error because the default is /32.

        Diagnostics/Routes correct?

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

          Everyone,
          Netgate helped me solve it. As usual, operator error.
          It had wireguard on it, and I didn't know it. It was an ip conflict.
          Yes, the firewall was open to make it easier to troubleshoot. I can close it down now.
          Thanks !
          Gary
