Yes I did apply the rule after saving it and I've also tried disabling bogons as well. None of it worked.
After getting more annoyed at this issue I've installed pfsense and went through the same setup of creating a rule specifically for ICMP packets.
It worked. Even the VPN worked flawlessly. I'm not sure why, but most likely I borked something up when installing OPN on the firewall.
Anyway thanks for your help. I'll mark the thread as solved. At least for me it is.

Here you go:

The firewall is not behind an additional router and the PC I'm using to try and connect to the WAN address is in the same network. I can ping the PC from the firewall, but not the other way around.
I've also checked the logs to make sure the pings even reach the firewall, and they do

Ive checked "Disable reply-to" in the settings and set the Gateway to default. The ping requests still don't make it through.You cannot view this attachment.You cannot view this attachment.

This is currently the only rule I have setup.

Ive setup OPNsense on an old Sophos firewall and plan on setting up OpenVPN to create a site to site VPN. But while trying to do that, I realized, that no traffic is coming through WAN (igb1). Ive searched online, including this forum, and found plenty of similar cases, yet I couldn't replicate their solutions. Most of them mentioned having to setup firewall rules on WAN, which I tried, but it didn't work. I even set a rule to allow ping requests from a specific IP, but that also didn't work.

Ive also reset the firewall multiple times by now. As of right now its reset to factory default.
Does anybody know why the manually added rules just get ignored?
