        @stephenkwabena well from your firewall tab you show a lot of states, but yeah the amount of traffic passed seems really low for connections actually work, especially 203 of them ;)

        Hmmm??

            Do devices on that interface pull a dhcp lease? Do you see that lease in the pfSense dhcp status page?

            Start a ping from a client on it and then check the states in pfSense. Make sure it's opening a state on HOTSPOT and WAN.

                Can we see those states? I assume you don't see ping replies?

                    @stephenkwabena Might be helpful if you looked at menus - its not like this stuff is hidden.

                      I have upgraded to pfsense 2.7.0-BETA, when I added a new interface for Guest's or hotspot, there is no internet on that LAN.
                      Below are my configuration

                      How many times are you gonna post the exact same problem in different threads??

                          @stephenkwabena click on the the numbers next to the acl in your photo they show 203, it will show active states look at what they are doing.

                            Great tip! This will limit the states to the ones created per that rule.. But, with that we won't be able to see the nat state that shows that it was changed to the public IP on the wan..

                            It would good to see that the traffic was actually natted to his public ip in the state table - because if its not, then that could be his reason he is not able to actually connect to anything.

                            states.jpg

                            When I click on mine for example - it shows the states by the rule id "303" in my example - but it doesn't show the WAN state where see that it was natted to my wan IP..

                              @stephenkwabena Check what interfaces you have approved to use the DNS resolver also

                              (Example DNS Resolver)

                              This should include your loopback and your new interface as a selected item under network interface

                                  Do the created states differ when it fails?

                                    most likely because your dns is failing.. you showed on one of your many posts timing out trying ping google on the resolve of google.com if you can not resolve whatever.domain.tld to an IP - then no your not going to be able to "browse" the internet.

                                      Yes nothing shows at the states but when able to browse I can see "10.10.5.10 established 222.678.145.233 (something like this)"

                                        @stephenkwabena yeah that would mean its working - if you can not resolve www.google.com for example then no you would never create a state..

                                        When you can not browse - validate that you can resolve the fqdn your trying to go to. If not then no its never going to work, if you get an IP for the fqdn your trying to go to. Then check you states.. If you see say syn sent, but no answer then were you trying to go didn't answer and problem is upstream, etc.
