Can ping google dns but cant search internet
-
So i can ping 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 but i cant search the internet on my pfsense i just installed. I just intalled 2.1 and i have no idea why this is happening. Is there some firewall setting? Any ideas?
-
What does "cant search the internet" mean?
-
I cant load any single webpage nor ping any website but Googles DNS servers.
-
Well, then obviously your firewall rules are completely broken. Kindly post screenshots of those.

Yeah which is strange i left them alone, i only added one for an ip.
here we go!

What happens if you try to go to this site?

Same thing i just cant load web pages or ping any ip but the router above it and googles dns servers

My guess is that its something really basic. Like:
1. You have your LAN and WAN lines swapped.
2. You didn't activate DHCP on the LAN
3. Your WAN isn't grabbing an IP
4. Your internet is down.Its something this simple, almost certainly.

Possibly which is really strange i just restored to default settings lets see if it happens again.

Works now seems it was a bad installation or something. Thanks guys!
