Ok traceroute via the terminal works a little differently.

The firewall rules seem to be in place.

So your OPNsense has WAN connectivity :)

Now do the same from any Client please.

Then LAN should be able to reach the Internet by IP address for now!

This is from another device on my opnsense router, not much going on.

If the traffic does not go past the local gateway then you need to check your routing :
- Is NAT setup correctly ?
- Default Gateway is also the correct one ?

Please note that you also did not use traceroute -n to avoid any DNS Resolving issues.

Okay, traceroute -n still gave nothing from the media server, and the default gateway is the correct IP address. When you say NAT do you mean the one on the router or the client?

I am guessing your OPNsense WAN is simply set to DHCP and should be the Default Gateway : Is that the case ?

I mean Outbound NAT in OPNsense : Is it setup correctly ?

In general you never NAT on the Client side ;)



But to be honest I think it might be easier to reset your configuration and just follow the First Boot Setup Wizard correctly to fix this issue, unless you figure out how to fix everything manually...
