I'm also experiencing the same thing with my VPS on Vultr. The default
gateway just disappears. My pf config:
tcp_ports="{ REDACTED }"
udp_ports="{ REDACTED }"
icmp_types="{ 0, 3, 8, 11 }"
icmp6_types = "{ 1, 2, 3, 4, 128, 129, 135, 136 }"
ext_if="vtnet0"
block return log all
set skip on lo0
pass in quick inet proto icmp icmp-type $icmp_types
pass in quick inet6 proto icmp6 icmp6-type $icmp6_types
pass in quick proto tcp from any to any port $tcp_ports flags S/SA keep
state
pass in quick proto udp from any to any port $udp_ports
pass out proto tcp from any to any keep state
pass out proto {udp, icmp, icmp6} from any to any
