I thought I was able to ping my Public IP before I even had any rules, as well as after. I thought maybe I checked something on the interface or something.  I guess that would explain it.  So would it be on the WAN Rules side?  What would the Rule look like?

Maybe show your interface rules?

You asked for my interface rules.  I have attached them.

Thank you Bob.Dig.  I am getting into OPNSense for the last couple of months. So the way rules and stuff in OPNSense are done are a little differnet to what I am use too.

You gave me a hint.  It was the rules.  It was the only thing I had changed. Long story short.  I have a email sever sending and receiving.  It stopped receiving. I thought the Public IP not ping meant it was blocked somehow.  Actually it is still not pinging. 

but when I adjusted my NAT and allowed "Add associated filter rule" it set up the WAN Rules.  This allowed the sending and received to go back to normal.

I have to credit me looking at OPNSense Firewall Rule "Cheat Sheet" by Dustin Casto from Home Network Guy.  I have the link here for anyone else who needs to see it directly -

Once I read and saw his examples, it made it much easier to understand.  I still have a bit of review to get use to OPNSense setup of rules down and such.

Okay.. You were helpful in getting the WAN Rules setup correctly now lets see if I can get the Public IP ping back.

I have made a move to OPNSense within the last 2 months.  I am getting use to its workings.  Including the rules directions and such.  I have NAT Port Forwarding setup and at one point I had Firewall:WAN Rules set (disable at this time). 

I have been adjusting and tweaking things to my liking.  Somewhere as I have been working with OPNSense router it is no longer allowing the public IP address to be pinged. 

Not sure what to check to see if I can get my public IP address to be pingable again.

I appreciate any help moving forward.

Thanks,
