      sub-1 ms means it was an IP local to you, probably on the radio in that case. The gateway for a real public IP will be upstream somewhere on the provider's network most of the time with a WISP, which is going to take more than 1 ms to get to (laws of physics, speed of radio waves, speed of light in fiber, etc. depending on the circumstance). Several ms wouldn't be uncommon, depends on where that router is and what you have to go through to get there and how congested the provider's network is.

        Me?  You want to buy me a beer?  That is very thoughtful, and if you were in the area I would like nothing more to enjoy a cold one with another fan of pfsense.

        But I suggest you donate the cost of the beer to pfsense - everyone wins that way.

        As cmb mentions, before when you were doing NAT on the device on your roof pfsense gateway was right there local, now its somewhere inside the isp network, so yeah going to be a bit longer rtt to the gateway.
