      I have been testing pfSense on KVM virtual platform and it seems to work fine. NAT & Firewall rules work (both directions) but for some reason I can't ping private addresses. Not even with IP's. Any ideas? Maybe a routing issue?

        There is a rule on WAN that block private IPs. You can turn this off in the WAN interface properties.

          That's not it.
          What could be the reason that FW work's "normally" but can not use any internal services (like DNS?)
          I'm thinking it must be a routing issue.

          Ping output:

            Are you trying to access the machine via the WAN or LAN interface? Unless LAN and WAN on in the same subnet, there should not be a routing issue.

              Are 10.0.0.0/24 and 10.10.10.0/24 the subnets you're using for WAN and LAN? If not what are they?

                Nope. The network is 10.0.0.0/8.
                Internal DNS server is 10.10.10.0/8. pfSense should be able to ping it.
                I have tried to use both NIC's to ping without success.

                  What address/subnet are you using on the WAN side? I don't use KVM, but in some virtual software, you need to enable promiscuous mode for this to work.
