1 WAN 2 LAN

[nevr0sed]

Ok,

I have done what you said. I have tried putting other rules such as :
But nothing works.

• PUBLICLANINTERFACE

• Source: * – Dest: *

• Source: EXTERNALWAN – Dest: *

• Source: * – Dest: EXTERNALWAN

• EXTERNALWAN

• Source: PUBLICLANINTERFACE – Dest: *

• Source: * – Dest: PUBLICLANINTERFACE

Maybe, but I am no expert, can't it be something related to the DNS or Gateway ?

Thanks again for all the support guys.

@tigs:

What you did is not what I said for sure. You need to read carefully.

You are over-complicating things, which may not always be a good thing.

You need:

1, Get rid of all your WAN rules, at least for the sake of trouble shooting. Someone already mentioned that to you.
2, you only need one rule for the PUBLICLANINTERFACE, Which I also said as well. I have attached a picture of what a working rule should look like.

Yes sure, it's what I did. I have tried in the very first place what you guys told me, and redid it, with no success.

I have tried with and without the Gateway.  Still the same, no internet connection. But all networks are pingable.

Thanks again.

This really shouldn't be this hard.  Let's start from the beginning.

Your OPT1 interface, aka new NIC, is configured as 192.168.2.1.  You havea firewall rule on OPT1 tab that allows all for IPv4.  You have DHCP enabled with a range of 1-254, which isn't correct as the gateway address (192.168.2.1) should not be part of the DHCP address pool.  Your client gets its net config via DHCP (192.168.2.2), but attempts to access websites result in a timeout.

How is your client connected to OPT1, via a switch?  What OS is your client running?

Hello KOM,

@KOM:

I know ! It's just amazing how wicked it is that it ain't working…  :o

Your OPT1 interface, aka new NIC, is configured as 192.168.2.1.

Yes.

You havea firewall rule on OPT1 tab that allows all for IPv4.

Yes.

You have DHCP enabled with a range of 1-254, which isn't correct as the gateway address (192.168.2.1) should not be part of the DHCP address pool.  Your client gets its net config via DHCP (192.168.2.2), but attempts to access websites result in a timeout.

Yes. So I have changed to range to 192.168.2.16 - 192.168.2.32

How is your client connected to OPT1, via a switch?  What OS is your client running?

My client IP now is 192.168.2.17
My client Subnet Mask is : 255.255.255.0
Routeur is : 192.168.2.1
DNS Server : 192.168.2.1
Search Domain : myhomedomain.org

My client is connected through a Home Switch http://www.staples.com/NETGEAR-ProSAFE-5-Port-Gigabit-Ethernet-Desktop-Switch-GS105NA/product_565423

The client is a Mac Mini.

I am pretty sure that there is something to do with the DNS… Although I have no clue what do to with it.

Thanks for your help again.

What's your output if you drop to a shell and type nslookup www.google.com?

[nevr0sed]

Hi,

Server:         192.168.2.1
Address:        192.168.2.1#53

** server can't find wwww.google.com: NXDOMAIN

I have no idea what that means…

It means that you can't resolve hostnames to IP addresses, as if your DNS isn't working.  Your DNS server is pfSense itself.  Previous screens show you're running the DNS Resolver.  Under your DNS Resolver settings, uncheck the Enable forwarding mode box and try it again.  Do you have anything configured under General Settings - DNS Servers?

Hi,

I have done what you requested. Still no changes in the problem.
I have 2 DNS servers that will be used on the PRIVATELANINTERFACE to configure a VPN on it. I have tried with them and without, and nothing changes.

Thanks again. This issue is starting to make me crazy… :)

I don't know then.  Maybe someone else has some suggestions.

[nevr0sed]

Ok ! I Will be here looking at the topic from time to time.

On my side, I will maybe reset to factory defaults and see what will happen then. I will post any further results here.

I am giving you an applaud for your help ! :)

Thanks again.

Do you have DNS resolver enabled? If not, check it and enable on all interfaces. Go into the Interface tab and remove "Block private networks" checkbox. If you get things working then you can tighten it back up. Then go to your DHCP server and on the interface erase any DNS and Gateway settings you might have.

[nevr0sed]

Ok the issue was the NAT. Didn't have an outbound rule…

Stupid of me.

Thanks to you all for the help and support.
