In general settings where you have the DNS configured, do you have a gateway set? All mine are not set and I don't have any issues like that.
-
The DNS servers have NONE as gateway. I don't think that the DNS is the issue. pfsense.com is a round robin or something similar for pfsense.org and pfsense.org resolves correctly. It must be something else … maybe the pfsense guys are blocking IP addresses/classes?
-
They are probably only blocking private IPs and bogons. Can you get to www.pfsense.com or updates.pfsense.org or snapshots.pfsense.org from a browser?
-
Yes I can open all three from a different PC on the same network.
-
Have you modified your outbound NAT rules?
-
No. The only rules I have are the port forwarding ones. No 1:1 and no Outbound NAT. DNS forwarder has some hosts added but they are local …
-
Can you traceroute from the pfsense gui and see how far it gets?

okay .. open up ssh console and start a tcpdump on your wan. The try to get the packages and see if the traffic is leaving the WAN interface and what the source and destination is.

I had the same issue… In my case my WAN port was enabled for DHCPv6, but the router not correctly configured to have DHCPv6 connectivity. I disabled DHCPv6 on the WAN interface, and everything worked...
-
Yes yes yes! I've been having problems with my Board. Gigabyte GA-C1007UN-D. First the WAN wasn't working, I had to manually ifdown and then ifup it. Then EVERYTHING behind the router could access the internet, but not the router itself. Turns out, THIS. Completely disable IPV6 and you're good to go.

Hi friends
I had dona a installation and configuration of pfsense 2.1(i368). it's working fine but further initial configurations are like DNS, IP assigning, interface assigning.. almost completed.
when i go to the available package it showing error like :
Unable to communicate with www.pfsense.com. Please verify DNS and interface configuration, and that pfSense has functional Internet connectivity.
I have check traceroute diagonstics of www.pfsense.com, it's nothing get result.
I don't know weather LAN to WAN internet is connecting or not ?
my pfsense settings :
pfsense stacture like : "ISP <=> MODEM <=> WAN <=> pfsense <=> LAN <=> switch"
ISP : Static IP :183...32
WAN : 192..1 to 192...254 (Using DHCP)
LAN : 192...1 to 192..*.254 (Using Static /Not using DHCP )
When i have checking the ping option :
LAN to LAN of IP's are ping
LAN to WAN of IP's are ping
WAN to WAN of IP's are ping
WAN to LAN of IP's are not ping
I have Attached a screenshot. kinly check it.
I'm beginner of the pfsense, i googled the how to setup & configuration of pfsense, but i could not implement the my network settings.
I have mention above the my pfsense stacture network settings.
please reply me …...

Today I tried to download a package on my pfsense with version 2.1 and it failed with the same error message as mentioned above. Looking into the trace of the communication, it looks like pfsense have moved something on their server.
The HTTP POST is answered with a "404 Not found".I tried to locate the packages myself, without success. Where did they go?
Can you please check what is wrong?

pfsense with version 2.1
Dude that version is long since dead.. No your not going to be able to get any packages for that version. You should update your pfsense to current 2.4.4p2
2.1 came out in 2013.

Version 2.1 is looooong dead, I doubt you will get any packages for it anymore.
Be responsible and update to 2.4.4p2, as this is the only supported version at the moment. This will also get rid of many security issues.

Going to lock this thread.
There is nothing to download on anything but the latest version; this includes Packages.
