      OK, we have spent enough time hunting and guessing in the dark.  Please take and post the following screenshots:

      Interfaces - WAN
      Interfaces - LAN
      Firewall - Rules - LAN
      Your Windows Network IP4 Ethernet Properties

      If you are paranoid, scrub any public IP addresses in your shots.

          Dude can you ping pfsense lan IP from the computer your trying to access the web gui from?

          So can you ping 192.168.1.1 ?

          From you computer is static or dhcp?  Please post ipconfig /all – assuming your on windows?

              then you should just be able to go http://192.168.1.1

              Unless your browser is using a proxy that should open, or redirect you to https://192.168.1.1 and the webgui.

                  Well sure looks like ethernet is working to me if your connected to the gui..

                  So you set static on your PC.. If you meant no internet on your pc, yeah you didn't set any dns.. So how would you expect your pc to lookup anything?

                        you said ethernet, ethernet is not the internet.. That is your local network connection, etc..  which is clearly working if you can access the pfsense webgui via IP address.

                        Normally yes pfsense would dns for your network, but it can be anything you want.  But if your going to setup a static IP and you want that box to resolve say www.google.com then yeah needs dns.. your picture was NOTHING..  So no shit kind of hard to resolve www.google.com or www.pfsense.com or www.cnn.com, etc. etc..

                            you can put in anything you want that is a valid nameserver that will resolve what you want.. Putting in say 8.8.8.8 (googledns) isn't going to resolve any local stuff that pfsense would know about, etc.

                                So from the web gui, go to diag, dns lookup - can you look up www.google.com for example

                                Go to diag, ping - can you ping 8.8.8.8 ?  See attached screenshots

                                If you can not get to the internet, how are you posting this stuff?

                                        could you maje a short summary ? just what is working and what is not and what do you want the end goal to be ?
                                        it will make it less complicated for us to understand what you project should look like ;)

                                          change your WAN interface to DHCP
