USG 310

We are having problems contacting a server on internet. While troubleshooting we found that we can ping the host directly from the WAN interface on the firewall, but not from inside. Either from a computer or by pinging through LAN interface on firewall.

I don't see anything in the config that would block this traffic.

I found this in routing traces:

The packet outgoing interface: WAN1
The packet outgoing interface: x
The packet was dropped by Misc.

What is misc? I tried searching for this statement but found no hits at all. Are there any steps I can use to troubleshoot it further?

    Thanks Cooldia!

    I could not stay away from it and added an allow rule at the top of the security policy. Problem was that we had a FQDN object that blocks access to a news site that is hosted on AWS which seems to be shared with the site we were trying to reach.

    If the destination shares the same IP address, it will be blocked by the security policy.
