          I solved the problem.
          I changed the pfsense lan gateway address as 0.0.0.0
          it was "none"
          now, pfsense can connect the internet but i can not.
          I'm using the google dns server and pfsense lan ip address as my laptop's gateway

            @Erkan:

            I changed the pfsense lan gateway address as 0.0.0.0

            leave it none and configure default gateway on system -> routing

            0.0.0.0 does not looks like a valid gateway

              where would you have set that

              So here is example lan interface setting, see where its NONE for gateway on lan

              Are you trying to just route or are you double natting?

              What devices are you connected to has a 192.168.1.1 address?  What is the make and model of your modem/router your connecting the pfsense wan interface too?

              Also you don't have your "modem" connected to this switch your lan port of your pfsense is connected too?

              Even with a double nat you should not have any issues if your actually connecting the correct interfaces to the correct things.

              modem/router –- wan (pfsense) lan --switch-- laptop/pc

              Pfsense wan should work on dhcp, and pfsense dhcp should handout to your laptop/pc connected to the lan side, when you setup pfsense have it use 10.0.0.1 / 24 as its lan interface and then dhcp should hand out 10.0.0.2 - 254 to your dhcp clients.

                  huh?  How would squid and squidguard even be install on a system you were just setting up?

                  Those are packages that you install and configure after you have a working system.

                    I referenced the some internet documents for setup
                    I think I have to set it up step by step
                    I will just install them and I'm not going to the setup for the see of services status

                      What documents?? Squid and Squidguard are not part of initial setup of pfsense – how would you have even installed them if you did not have a working connecting from pfsense?  And yeah those if not correctly configured could break internet access for sure ;)  At least http access to sites, etc.

                        I used some internet squid and squidguard setup guides.
                        I will restore default settings squid and squidguard after than I will check the both services.
                        otherwise, I will remove both and download again. tomorrow ;)

                          not sure I would suggest you follow any "internet" guides for squid and squidguard you find on a simple google.  I would really stick with docs from pfsense or pfsense forums for help with squid and squidguard on pfsense.

                          They are not generic type installs on the pfsense platform, so generic guides could be off.

                          Example
                          http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Setup_Squid_as_a_Transparent_Proxy

                          Not sure it has been updated for 2.0 line, etc.

                          I would highly suggest a get a working setup before you play with squid on pfsense.  Also in your #7 post you make no mention at all of any squid or squidguard being installed, nor any of your other posts.

                            fixed all.
                            I formatted the pfsense and reinstall it and packages :)
                            it's working properly except proxy report
                            here is my log path: /var/squid/report
                            when I try to get report I've got this error:

                            LigthSquid diagnostic.
                            Error : report folder '/var/lightsquid/report' not contain any valid data! Please run lightparser.pl (and check 'report' folder content)
                            Please check config file !
                            something wrong

                              lighsquid need some log from squid to work.

                              go  to some websites and then try to update lightsquid again
