Can't ping using behind firewall
-
i was trying to ping (from inside the firewall) to machines that are outside my firewall and pinging keeps failing.
if i try to ping that same machine from another computer that is somewhere else in the world, it works fine.
any ideas?

My visionary powers are broken :(

If you are looking for help on the forum because you have a problem:
provide as much information as possible.
(log-outputs, screenshots of config/rules, etc.)
Often a Diagram (ASCII ART ?) can help more than pages of descriptions how your network is set up.

sorry about the lack of details
anyways i figured out what it was
i unchecked the box in the wan section –- Block private networks and everything works perfectly now.
very strange... anyways thanks!

So you where trying to ping a private address? If yes, nothing is strange in that, that's the feature purpose!
When I try pfSense in a virtual lab I have to use private range IP addresses and yes I have to disable that feature to be able to make my tests. In real world, when your pfSense is facing the Internet (it have a public IP address) you should keep that feature enabled.

right now pfsense is setup that it does have a public ip
quick question
does the block private address feature block 128.210.0.0 subnet?
