Got the interfaces setup but dont have internet.
included a word doc ... when you can, if you wouldnt mind, could you have a look.

my connection is a PPOE connection.

seems right to me, but I dont seem to have NAT entries for my network.

You should not have a gateway on LAN, remove it.

The only time you would use a gateway there is if you have other downstream routers with subnets behind them. pfSense is the gateway for LAN side clients but doesn't itself have one.

Make sure the WAN gateway is set as default in Sys > Routing > Gateways

@petesei is PORT2LAN your LAN network? If yes, why do you have an gateway, the info text to the field:

"On local area network interfaces ... should be 'none'

Do you get an IP address on your PPPoE interface? If yes then you also should get a gateway. Can you show System / Routing / Gateways?

And yes, you don't have any Outbound NAT, that's not good. If you get an IP by DHCP on WAN, the gateway is created automatically + also the necessary Outbound NAT rules.

Just go to sleep, all can be done tomorrow (or even later), no worries. It's not a race.

@patient0

here are some screenshots...
I cant even ping the box now.. after removing that gateway.

Yup, so set the default IPv4 gateway to WAN_PPPoE.

Remove those other two gateways. You should not have any gateways on the LAN side.
