I have a residential FIOS connection yep - I guess what is weird, or I am not understanding, is that prior to the OSPF configuration I was able to get to the internet without an issue. Unfortunately I don't remember what the gateway of the ESG was, but I believe it'd have to have been 192.168.250.1 since it's in that network (ESG is 192.168.250.254). Confirmed from a screenshot of my static routes that it's always been 192.168.250.254, yet egress internet traffic always worked.
That said, how would I configure a Source NAT and where? Apologies again, I don't deal with much edge/egress traffic. Mostly layer 2.
Just for grins I am going to disable OSPF on the uplink side of the ESG/pfSense just for a sanity check and go back to static routes. Maybe its something weird in how pfSense is routing.
Ok - confirmed - something is "different" with static routes vs. OSPF.
Weird...
