      This has been wrecking my head for a bit now but i have tried alot and pf sense is not connecting to the internet at all

      My setup used to be | isp provided crap in bridged mode so it acts just like a modem | Then to my amplifi router |

      This worked just fine but i want to switch the amplifi router to pf sense but for what ever reason it seems like its detecting the public ip on the wan ext but it doesnt have internet access at all yet when i connect back the amplifi router it connects and has internet without issues

      Ive tried open sense first with the same issue so i decided to try pf sense and so far i like the ui layout better but it has the same issue with not being able to connect to the internet

      My pc is getting assigned a ip and i can see the gateway i put when i run ipconfig so as far as i know the dhcp server is working just fine

      if anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated as im running out of ideas

        How should you get the WAN IP? DHCP or PPPoE?

        What shows pfSense in Status > Interfaces for WAN?
        What shows pfSense in Status > Gateways?

        What tells the system log?
