Feedback: It seems in version 2.6.0 release (amd) built on Mon Jan31 19:57:53 UTC 2022 of Pfsense.
Under the section Advanced Gateway Settings > Data Payload, which reads
"To conserve bandwidth, the dpinger daemon sends a ping with a payload size of 0 by default so that no data is contained within the ICMP echo request. However, in rare circumstances a CPE, ISP router, or intermediate hop may drop or reject ICMP packets without a payload. In these cases, set the payload size above 0. Usually a size of 1 is enough to satisfy affected equipment."

The default seems to now be 1 and no longer 0. Is this indeed the case?
