      Post screen shots of your LAN interface details.  How are your LAN clients configured?

          I did ask for your client details, but if you can grab packages then it's likely a DNS issue.  What are your clients using for DNS?

              So you haven't entered any DNS server at the client.
              This way you can only access website by IP address, like http://98.138.253.109 for yahoo.

                Oh god, I can't believe.. When I entered the IP, it works.. But nothing else, how should I fix this? I entered all possible DNS combos, still same result.

                  Try 192.168.1.1 (pfSense), or 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 (Google DNS), or 4.4.4.4 (Level3 DNS), or your ISP's DNS.  But you must have something to resolve hostnames to IP addresses.  Networking 101.

                      We need more detail other than it doesn't work.  What exactly did you do?  Why is your win7 VM on both WAN and LAN switches?  It should be on LAN only.

                        Okay, small update sorry, win7 just a test, never used.

                        So my main LAN switch don't work same problem as I said, but my OPT1 interface (second lan), works flawlessly. If you need any info tell me, I provide.

                          Post screens of your firewall rules for both LANs.

                            Now i have tought just a bit, can it be ESXI management network issue?
                            –Update--
                            Okay so I found problem why my LAN don't work. There is ESXI management network running at LAN nic, which maybe causes problem with it, if I change management network to OPT1 nic then same problem appears on OPT1, but then my LAN works.

                              No, it's DNS issue.  Your PC LAN rule should use * for protocol, not just IPv4 TCP, but that's not your issue.  Your issue is purely DNS-related since you can access websites based on their IP address but not FQDN.  Your Windows XP client that was missing DNS details, what did you do about that?  I had recommended several DNS servers that you could use, and you replied that it didn't work and I then asked what exactly did you do.

                                Okay so yea, what I did i set it to GET DNS AUTOMATICALLY, same settings for other LAN (OPT1, which works without problems).

                                ESXI have it own settings for management console (Maybe interrupting DNS with pfsense?) (photos included)

                                  Humour me and set it manual DNS, 8.8.8.8 and then try again.

                                    Esxi or client?

                                      Client.  ESXi isn't making the DNS calls on behalf of the VM, the VM is, so we only care about setting client DNS.

                                          Since we have already confirmed that you can go places based on the IP address, it's definitely a DNS problem.  However, use of manual DNS seems to fail.  Is it possible your ISP is blocking the use of external DNS servers?  In pfSense, what do you have for System - General Setup - DNS Servers?
