      Hello,

      I set up a small virtual network with VirtualBox:
      just some virtual machines: clients and pfSense as router on my laptop.
      With my laptop I access Internet with WLAN.
      When I am at home I can access WLAN with my laptop and when I go out and use another WLAN I can access Internet with my laptop without problems.
      But not with the virtual machines!
      At home I can access internet with the virtual machines but unfortunately not when I go out and use another WLAN.

      What to do?

        Can you check out if it's an DNS issue? Try to ping a public IP, e.g. 8.8.8.8.

        If that fails as well, is pfSense able to access the internet?
        If not, it might rather be an issue or wrong settings in VirtualBox.
