      Hi,
      I've got very stange situation. PfSense is working. I can ping 8.8.8.8 from PfSense.
      I can connect to VPN from outside of firewall but I can not connect internet from lan.
      And I can not list available packages from web gui?

      Very stange stiuation I guess...

        Are you able to ping an IP from the LAN, e.g. 8.8.8.8?

        If so check your DNS settings.

          Dear @viragomann ,
          First of all thank you.
          I can ping to 8.8.8.8 from PfSense command line and even from pfsense gui ping menu.
          But I cannot ping from LAN in the other machines?

          DNS settings? Which menu please?

          By the way I did not change any config on this pfsense for a long long time...

          Regards,
          Mucip:)

            What about if you try to ping from the pfSense webgui but set the source IP as the LAN address?

                But set the source to LAN so you're testing NAT:

                  @stephenw10,
                  It's OK I guess;

                  5dc7d340-1764-44e7-bf27-1f5c8f95a17a-resim.png

                  I changed to DNS settings to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
                  Now I can ping from LAN computers too. But still can not see available packages from PfSense GUI?

                    Also check your gateways :

                    89efc7c3-f1ae-4b1f-816a-44014066793e-image.png

                    like you, I have a OpenVPN server (listed as VPNS_VPN4) but that's not a gateway in my (and your) case. It could be one if it was a OpenVPN client, connected to some "VPN ISP".

                    No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                    Edit : and where are the logs ??

                        What pfSense version are you running?

                        Where did you set those DNS servers? In the client or in pfSense directly?

                          192.168.1.1 on WAN ?
                          So you've changed the default pfSense LAN to something else like 192.168.0.1 /24

                          Not monitoring ? because ?

                            I use 2.7.0.

                            I have modem in the office with DMZ to PfSense box.

                              You like the 2.7.0 bugs better as the 2.7.2 bugs ? ๐Ÿ˜Š

                                    At the command line run: certctl rehash

                                    Then re-check.

                                    That's probably also the pkg issue you are seeing.

                                        Aha !!
                                        You saw that ?
                                        Fiirst :

                                        3bef47cd-b1bf-4f9b-9571-f47aa50e1fa6-image.png

                                        then, after the 'patch' (I sometimes have this strange feeling that @stephenw10 is an AI Netgate bot that is here to drop this "run: certctl rehash" command ๐Ÿ˜Š (sorry, stephenw10, I couldn't resist))

                                        and then

                                        91b29632-745b-4cd4-b4c3-a9badc787bb0-image.png

                                        which opens the path to 2.7.2.

                                        Be ware that 2.7.2 won't free you from all misery, as you're like us : upgrading is great, but more then often, don't forget to upgrade the admin also (that's where most of the issues resides).
                                        It will include a new OpenSSL and a way more recent OpenVPN.
                                        If you are using the OpenVPN server you have to upgrade your clients also.
                                        Easy enough : https://openvpn.net/client/client-connect-vpn-for-windows/ or : your phone app store etc.
                                        Export a new OpenVPN client profile.
                                        Import it into your OpenVPN client, and you're good.
