Can't Access GUI on Secondary

I have a pair of firewalls and a really weird issue. I'm basically never attached to my LAN. I either use the public IP that's has a rule to only allow specific IPs or I'm coming across a VPN.

My primary works fine. I can access it both across the tunnel or using it's public. My secondary, I can't except coming from my VM I used for testing that's on the LAN. Even if I put the primary in persistent maintenance mode, it doesn't work on the CARP IP either.

I enabled logging on the rule that I have allowing traffic from the WAN and the log shows it being allowed but all I ever get is "This site can't be reached x.x.x.x took too long to respond." So at this point I'm at a loss as to what's causing it. It was working fine until I had it reboot (through GUI) because it was giving an error checking for updates yesterday.

Version: OPNsense 18.7.1_3-amd64

Can you also login to VPN when the secondary is master?

No, doesn't look like the the OpenVPN nor the IPSec (at least initiating it from the remote side) work on the secondary either.

Can you check if your HA setup works like desired and perhaps we fix this first :)

Pretty sure my HA is working properly but feel free to take a look and let me know if you see something off. If I missed anything you want to see/think will help troubleshoot, let me know. The rules did update on the secondary when I tried changing the GUI allow run on the WAN interface to the 3 IPs (One for each + CARP) for the firewalls rather than just "This Firewall".

It may be a NAT issue but not sure exactly what to do to fix it. If I ping an outside IP using the default it works and gets a response. If I change it to the inside it doesn't. Not sure if that helps.
