Locked out of PFsense GUI
-
@stephenw10
I unplugged the cable and plugged it back in I can now get into PFsense, but I still cant get on to the internet. -
Is it showing a valid WAN IP? How is the WAN configured?
Does it show link LEDs on the WAN NIC at least/
-
Yes I show the lights blinking at the back of the device in both the wan and lan ports that have a cable plugged in.
I am not sure what you mean how is the wan configured and is it showing a valid wan IP.
-
Show for example : Status > Interfaces
-
Yes, the status will show if it has an IP. It will also show that at the console.
How is the WAN configured in Interfaces > WAN? DHCP? Static? PPPoE?

Interface status - wan shows a red x with auto select both an ipv4 and ipv6 address
Lan shows a green arrow 1000base T with the ipv4 address I assignedAll other wan and lan show red x auto select no ip addresses

@stephenw10
The wan is a DHCP ipv4 the enable box is checked and the two reserved networks at the bottom are checked rfc1918 and bogon -
Ok so it's failing to pull a dhcp lease.
What is it connected to?

@stephenw10
I have the 4100 connected to my laptop that has Linux mint as an os though the lan port. I have the wan port hooked up to a port on the modem that my ISP gave me.The lap top does not have the traditional Ethernet jack. It has a USB C so I have a converter that receives the Ethernet cable from the 4100 then this convertor has a USB C that connects into my laptop.

Ok, so the ISP is not passing pfSense a DHCP lease.
The first thing to try is to power cycle to modem. Many ISPs will lock to the MAC address of whatever was connected and that can be reset by rebooting the modem.
Sometimes you need to call the ISP for that or spoof the MAC address of the old device on the pfSense WAN.If that still fails make sure the ISP doesn't require something else on the WAN like VLAN or priority tagging.

Ok i power cycled the modem and now I have both the WAN and LAN on the with a green arrow and all the other connects lan 2-4 and wan2 have red x. I still am unable to connect to the internet through the fire wall. -
Does the WAN show as having a valid IP address and/or gateway though?
If not check the system and dhcp logs for errors.

This is what it shows on the dashborad for eh WAN
1000baseT <full-duplex,rxpause,txpause> 192.168.0.161
2604:2d80:ab82:c700:92ec:77ff:fe35:430b -
Ok, so it's pulling a valid IP there.
Check the routes in Diag > Routes. Make sure it has a default route via the upstream router; probably: 192.168.0.1.
