      Post this:

      Interfaces > OPT1
      Firewall > Rules, OPT1
      Firewall > NAT, Outbound

      If you connect a computer to OPT1 does it get DHCP in the 192.168.4.0/24 network and is it able to access the internet?

      DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

        Thank you for your help.  it still don’t work I forgot to do the nat thing so I went in and did that but it still don’t work my laptop gets a IP from the opt interfaces but no internet connection can be made so I don't know what I am doing wrong.  I am kind of stupid on this kind of stuff but I do the best I can. Thank you again no one wants to help me on things unless they are getting paid and I don’t make that kind of money I am just a poor man doing with what I have.  But I help any one I can with what I have and never do I ask for anything in return so thank you for whet you have done so far.

          So post the information asked for. Not possible to see what you have done wrong without being able to see it.

                    Your rule on OPT1 is TCP-only. Change that to protocol any

                      I want to thank you so much it has come to life but I am being told on my laptops that when I am trying to go to a web site it tells me that the site isn’t secure. like google it says your connection is not secure and gives you the option to go back and advanced never seen that happen before on Google or Youtube even dose the same thing. it dose the same thing when i log into my Thunderbird on my Ubuntu laptop it brings up a add security exception box is this normal or do i have a security problem with the opt interface.

                        Did you do something silly like try to enable squid?

                        Again, screenshots of the error - especially the certificate details.

                          Also my wireless phones work just fine it seems I can get my mail and surf the web on them but the laptops keep telling me there is some kind of security deal going on.

                            Nothing in pfSense gets in the middle there unless you put it there.

                                  I really want to thank you for all the help on this matter today you took the time out of your day to help and I will never forget that you are a good friend to have.  Most of these forums don’t even have the guts to help someone they just act like you never posted to them.  I have some posts into the Ubuntu site that have never been answered so I want you to know you are number one in my book.

                                  Thank you so much have a great Thanksgiving and and a great Holiday Season.

                                    I do not know what is getting in the middle there.

                                    Click Advanced there, then Add Exception, then View, then post a screen show of that certificate information, then Close and Cancel.

                                        OK good to hear.

                                        As long as you didn't click and create certificate exceptions for those you should be OK.

                                          no I didn’t touch the buttons on any of the deals. thank you so much now I have internet through my wireless side that is what I need so I can hook up a couple more Access Points thank you so very much for your hard work and time. and thank you for the fast response to all my questions at least you care about helping to get others up and running. A lot of these sites take for ever or never answer at all. I will always put a good word in for you
