      I've attached a screenshot of "Routing > Gateways". Somehow GW_LAN was set as default, I've set WAN_PPOE default and the problem was gone. The WAN gateway is dynamic.

        I've noticed when you edit the LAN GW (e.g., change the monitoring IP), it somehow makes itself default. I deleted the LAN GW altogether and have had zero issues since then.

          As mentioned above you should not have a gateway on LAN.

          The only time you would ever want that is if you have some downstream router with another subnet behind it such that pfSense needs to know where to route traffic to get to it.

          Usually you only see a LAN gateway in the gateway table like that if you have set one on the LAN config page. Your screenshot in the first post shows no gateway set but perhaps you set one subsequently? Either way make sure it is not set now and remove it from the gateway table.

            I haven't set a gateway on LAN after I created this thread. I don't know why it was there.

            I've removed the gateway.
