No internet connection
-
Hi Guys,
I have installed latest pfsense and this is the scenario:
em0 - wan (DHCP)
em1 - lan (192.168.0.1/24)WAN interface gets ip and gw from dhcp server, but for some reason it has no internet connection. While i try to ping my DHCP GW i get reply, as well as while pinging DNS servers (i have 3 on my network). Checked routes table and they are the default ones generated by pfsense.
I have tested that network cable on another Vbox pfsense test machine and it worked like a charm.
Can anyone think why internet is not working? -
Are you testing from WAN or LAN? If LAN, make sure you do NOT have a gateway defined. Very common mistake, and it breaks Internet connectivity.

I have another pc connected on the lan interface. PC gets IP, subnet, gw and dns from dhcp. I tested before and it worked fine.

No, I meant in your pfSense LAN settings (Interfaces - LAN - Static IPv4 configuration - IPv4 Upstream Gateway). It should be set to None. From your pfSense box, can you:
1. Ping 8.8.8.8 using Diagnostics - Ping. Do you get a reply?
2. Ping www.google.com using Diagnostics - Ping. Do you get a reply?By default, LAN clients have full access out. As long as you can ping from WAN, it should all just work as long as you didn't specify a LAN gateway in pfSense.

If you add a 3rd interface, such as I did for use with a WiFi access point, that you do not have this interface set as tracked and you copy the NAT rules from the LAN interface to the additional interface.
I struggled hard initially with this issue.
