      @hoandco said in no internet on lan:

      I have re installed pfsense ce. I have the wan ppoe connected to the internet.

      Which version?
      Did you reinstall the config from a former version?

      I can ping DNS works perfectly.

      What? Ping DNS or DNS works??

      What are your outbound NAT settings?

        No I did use the config file. I am using 2.6 ce
        I can ping 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8
        I will set up a vlan and see if that works.
        Ours is a ppoe connection.
        Will I set up the wan first? Is the problem that I set up the wan if I use a vlan? Or do I set the wan as DHCP and the vlan ppoe?

          Do you mean, you need a VLAN on WAN to connect to your ISP?

          No, DHCP is not needed on WAN. PPPoE has its own IP configuration.

          I assume, the PPPoE is already working, since you can ping IPs in the internet.
          So try also name resolution from pfSense itself. Diagnostic > DNS lookup, or even ping and try a host name like google.com.

          I can ping 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8

          Can you ping them from your LAN devices?

            I have done the google.com DNS lookup and it worked with a result A and AAA
            I did a 1.1.1.1 DNS lookup and the result was 674ms as our internet is satellite.
            I must be missing something simple?.
            The wan is connected to the ISP and has been for over 2 hours.

              On the LAN I can ping 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1
              Interesting when I connected our VPN

              We can access the internet

                Just to be sure we're not missing anything either: do you have a dedicated LAN interface like en1 or igb1, etc., is the interface up? How are you access pfSense, SSH?

                  Wasn't a pfSense fault then...

                    Igb1
                    Connected on the LAN using web configurator
                    The ppoe connection is using the vlan2 on the wan port.

                      So DNS loohups work on pfSense.
                      Do they also work on LAN devices?

                        DNS lookup only when connected is cloud flare 1.1.1.1
                        Google.com does not work
                        Could it be the gateway IP?

                          I don't think so.

                          I can hardly follow your comments. To get clear, pleas post the "DNS Server Settings" from System > General Setup.

                          And what do you get exactly, when doing a lookup for google.com in Diagnostics > DNS Lookup?

                          Do you have the DNS Resolver enabled on pfSense?
