I can't ping through the WAN interface.

LAN IP   192.168.2.254

WAN IP     192.168.0.108

Outside the WAN IF   i have a computer 192.168.0.1

I set up a static route

if     =    LAN            Network   =   192.168.0.0/24
gw    =  192.168.0.1


Firewall rules

WAN
proto = *        source = *  port = * Dest = * Port = * gateway = *
proto = ICMP source = *  port = * Dest = * Port = * gateway = *

LAN
proto = * source = LANnet  port = * Dest = * Port = * gateway = *

On the WAN interface I have UN-checked Block Private Networks

I have two more interfaces on this computer/firewall that are deactivated.
In case this is important

Question:

Do I need to set up firewall rules to activate pfsense?  In other words is
it not set up to work without any rules being set?  I keep thinking it is
like a SOHO router like LINKSYS or NETGEAR.

From the system logs I have a frequent entry

kernel: arplookup 192.168.0.1 failed: host not on local network

But it is plugged in and the 192.168.0.1 computer is up and running.  This
pc (192.168.0.1) cannot ping the pfsense interface 192.168.0.108.

TIA for any suggestions
