      @rcoleman-netgate Via Diagnostics / Ping, I can ping 8.8.8.8, although I cannot ping yahoo.com, and I cannot load www.yahoo.com in a browser.

        I don't care about the GUI - I care about your computer.

        Can you ping either of those entities from the computer plugged into your network?

            And what are your DNS-settings?
            It seems there might be something wrong...
            Since neither pfsense nor your pc can reach i.e. www.google.com but pings 8.8.8.8 successfully.

              @the-other DNS Servers is set to 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 in pfSense. When I run ipconfig on my computer DNS servers are 10.27.x.x

                @miss_understand1ng Sounds like a DNS issue. Try restarting DNS Resolver in pfSense. Or set your PC DNS to 8.8.8.8 but that would just prove a local DNS issue exists,

                Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
                When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

                  @SteveITS AHA! That was it! Simple DNS restart did the trick!

                    @miss_understand1ng Your daily dose of SteveITS -- almost as good as a handful of Cheese-Its. 😆
