      Hello,

      I just installed a pfsense on a watchguard x700 box.
      With the original wachtguard software i could connect to the internet without any problems.

      So whats connected:
      On WAN –> ip lease from external DHCP --> no problem
      ON LAN --> used as trusted connection for configuration of the pfsense --> no problem
      ON OPT1 --> connection(s) to workstations --> given ip from dhcp --> no problem

      To connect the internet we use a external proxy server and i entered this information in "System - Advanced - Miscellaneous - Proxy URL"
      The DNS server(s), also external, i entered in "System - DNS servers - + gateway = none"

      I can test with DNS lookup if a ip adress resolves --> thats working

      But still, i can't connect to the internet.

      What do i wrong, or where should i place proxy/dns servers.

      I added a rule, to test, on WAN, LAN, OPT1 with no restrictions.

      Ping test from WAN = OK
      Ping from LAN and OPT1 is 100% packet loss --> NOK

      Thanks for any support on this.
