      Provide your pfSense version and any packages you have installed.

          I was expecting some packages like Snort or pfBlocker or something to account for the differing results, but that was not the case here.

          OK, do both LAN and DMZ clients use the same DNS?  Do you have any special firewall rules on LAN as compared to DMZ?

              Well, if you guys could manage to actually supply some useful information, then perhaps we could help solve your problem.  Post screenshots of your LAN & OPT1 interface details.  Post screenshots of your LAN and OPT1 firewall rules.  Post screens or details about your client network settings with regard to IP address, mask, gateway and DNS.

                using win 7 evrything fine.

                  IN future, could you please strip out all that blank white space?

                  Are you running squid, squidguard, DansGuardian or any other package that can filter URLs?  With your existing firewall rules, there is nothing to stop you from going anywhere that can resolve through DNS.  I see you might be running Captive Portal (stuff like this is important to mention when asking for help), but I don't know much about that package.

                    sorry for quick posting without revising.
                    yeah i am using captive portal , but at the moment of posting , i deactivate all captive portal features.
                    i am not using any package you mentioned.
                    i check the both http and https ports using nmap . the result was positive for both ports
                    as u mentioned , it suppose nothing to stop me go through . but it is really strange.
                    should i try another PFsense version?

                      I don't think it's a pfSense issue just yet.  What is the exact error you receive when trying to visit any site other than Facebook?

                        unable to upload the webpage , timeout….... , something like that
                        it looks like he starts to connect the page and then suddenly stopped or  something stuck.

                          I could solve the problem by adjusting the MTU on the desired interface to be around 1400 Bytes.

                          hope this information can solve your problem as well .
