      Hello,

      Hello, I am trying to set up Pfsense.
      My server in the LAN zone can not access to Internet.

      I try multiple ping with the different equipments. (router, laptop, server)
      I have two erros :

      • Request timed out
      • TTL expired in transit

      Here is a diagram of the infrastructure
      schema.jpg

      An array of ping tests
      tableau.jpg

      What can I test more?

      Thanks for advance :)

        Are you routing or nating between the WAN and LAN on the pfSense?

          Thanks for your reponse @conor

          I'm doing routing.

          I have two different networks 192.168.1.0 (WAN) and 192.168.2.0 (LAN). I did not set up a static route.
          There is no rule in the firewal. Everything is allowed.

          In the section Diagnostics / Routes why I see link# ?
          routes.jpg

          It's the problem ?

          In Pfsense, i have this conf :

          config route.jpg

            Starting with the laptop...
            If you are doing routing that means that SRV-1 ping will reach Laptop-1 with a source IP of 192.168.2.240, this is outside of Laptop-1 subnet so it will send the responce to 192.168.1.1. So if the router 192.168.1.1 doesn't have a route for the 192.168.2.0 network it will send the reply ping out of the network onto the web.

            Assuming that the laptop firewall is off or allowing ICMP pings.

              That default route points to the interface rather than the upstream router, but that value doesn't tie in with the screen shot below it, thats weird.

                On RT-1, the config is :
                routes-sfr-rt-1.jpg

                RT-1 have a route for 192.168.2.0/24.

                    I'd run a TCPdump on the WAN interface as you are pinging from SRV-1 to Laptop-1 and check the packets source and destination addresses. Also check for replies coming from the laptop.

                        are you checking 8.8.8.8 as the DNS?

                        Can you post a screen shot of: "System > General Setup" please

                            Also for gateways normally you would only have the WAN interface with an entry, i'd remove the LAN gateway, make sure on the LAN interface there is no gateway set
