there shouldn't be a LAN gateway.. Is that a gateway to get to downstream networks? If so then it should be connected via transit network.. Using a network with hosts on it as transit is going to be an an issue with asymmetrical routing.
-
I guess I could mention right away : if you 'did' anything with gateways, undo that.
More general : re do the entire setup. Just set up WAN (the access to the up stream router) and do not touch anything else.
It will work.
At that point, start applying your personalization, and test thoroughly every step - as soon as your connection is lost, undo the last step and study more about. -
Guys thank you very much for the help you are giving me. I'm starting now to study the firewall world and then learn more and more because I have a great passion for this world. sorry if I disturb you with my inexperience, but I have to start somehow to learn.
Now I'm doing a clean installation and I'll let you know ;-) -
I made a clean new installation, but the result does not change. I think I did everything you told me ... I'm almost giving up
-
In your General Setup screen, I don't think you need the gateways defined for those 2 Google DNS servers. Of the 5-6 pfsense boxes I've installed and managed, I never have to put in a value there.
Set those values to "None", save your settings, maybe even reboot the pfsense instance, then try the internet from your LAN network again...

Agree with that.
One shouldn't even touch anything related to DNS the first 48 hours after initial setup.
No where it has been said in any firewall setup-doc that a DNS should be set ! Not in the official Netgate support doc, and no where else.
These "8.8.8.8" and "4.4.4.4" are like "Christmas" and "Antivirus" : they were invented for pure commercial reasons.
(IMHO) -
VirtualBox does tend to use it's own DHCP server on internal networks, that might conflict with pfSense. So check the network settings on your client VM.

First learn the details about your virtualization environment, then learn the details about the guest systems.

Ok because my questions seem to be causing bad mood, I remove the trouble and look elsewhere.
Thanks anyway -
Hoho : No bad mood at all on this side.
All reflexions are here to help you.
Remember : we all have been there - and most of us seen it all already. We're all expert in doing this fast, good and stable (so you can pass on to other things fast !)Using a VM - not a small affair and using pfSense, not your basic classic "OS" setup neither, isn't an easy thing.
What about VM and an OS you already know
and
pfSense on an old PC with extra network card
and learn in parallel.
You will be a winner in the learning process. -

Thanks again
