      Hello!

      I have two VBox VMs set up: one running pfSense Community 2.7.2 and the other running the latest version of Kali.

      I can ping between the two VMs. I can ping from pfSense to the internet. But I cannot ping the internet from Kali.

      My LAN IP is 192.168.1.1/24, and my Kali IP is 192.168.1.13/24. The gateway and DNS server are set to 192.168.1.1.

      From pfTop I am seeing that the outbound requests for web searches and things from my VM are going out, but there is no return it seems

      Do you have any idea what I could be missing here?

      Thank you!

        I figured it out!

        The DNS resolver with pfSense on VBox is just broken; I switched it over to the DNS forwarder, and it worked as it should have.
