[Users] Create VLAN for WAN traffic

[Bob Doolittle]

In a situation like this a common issue is that the host you are pinging
does not have a route back to your VLAN so can't send the response. Can you
monitor traffic at the destination and see if it's receiving your pings?
Can you ping from the other direction?

In my general networking experience creating a VLAN is simple. Teaching
your LAN about your VLAN is harder, and requires external configuration of
routes.
