misconfiguration, not bug. Continue on forum
Updated by Tim Dufrane over 11 years ago
I have to disagree that this is a misconfiguration and not a bug. The "misconfiguration" is not adding a default gateway, which is perfectly reasonable. Some people end up using pfSense for strictly internal networks, and have no need of a default gateway. It seems nonsensical that not having a default gateway defined would cause this behavior.
