      Ok, great so pfSense cannot connect out.

      So in the pfSense webgui check Status > Gateways.
      I assume it shows 192.168.1.1 as the gateway?
      Does it show the gateway as down?

      Go to Diag > Routes.
      Does it show a default route for IPv4?

          @Spectrum said in Hardware driver:

          192.168.1.xxx

          That is a private IP address there is no need to obscure it.

          You should not have a gateway on LAN. Go to Interfaces > LAN and remove it.

            @stephenw10 -General Configuration: enable interface
            -Static IPv4 configuration: IPv4 address.
            192.168.100.1/24
            IPv4 Upstream gateway: none
            -Reserved networks: Block private networks and loopback addresses and Block bogon networks (not active).

            What exactly should I remove from these?

                Ok upstream gateway is correct.

                Go to System > Routing > Gateways.

                Make sure there is only WAN gateway. Remove a LAN gateway if it shows there.

                    Does it show a default route for IPv4 via the WAN gateway?

                        Ok, that's bad. That's why it's broken.

                        Set the IPv4 default gateway to WAN_DHCP.

                        The delete the LAN gateway.

                          @stephenw10 good morning. last night i turned off pfsense and unplugged the wan cable, today i turned on and plugged the cable in and it gives me connected. i went into the settings it said and it no longer gives me re0 (lan) as default. i don't know what is going on in my settings, but i am sure if i turn off or reboot now it will give me the problem again. how can i save these settings?

                          IPv4 route
                          127.0.0.X lo0
                          192.168.1.X/24 re1 (wan)
                          192.168.1.XXX lo0
                          192.168.100.X/24 re0 (lan)
                          192.168.100.X lo0

                          Now only in ipv6 I see the wan in default, like this:
                          IPv6 route
                          default xxxxxxxx%re1 re1 (wan)

                                Ok that's good. When it's set to automatic it may choose the LAN if the WAN goes down.

                                But you should not have a LAN gateway at all. You should delete it from there anyway.

                                        @Spectrum do you suggest to delete this option in the lan network (re0)?

                                          I'm only suggesting you delete any gateways defined on LAN in System > Routing > Gateways.

                                          However it should be working as it is?

                                            @stephenw10 sistem / routing / gateway have only wan . lan no longer appears. the pc is connected pero many sites can't access. i'm thinking maybe i need to see if it accepts both http and https. am i doing the thinking wrong?
