        Now with your nat set to auto any clients on this network should work.. You created a any any rule on this interface right?

          hmmm with nat set to auto, Windows changes from no internet shown on the connection to showing internet is now available but there is no response to the outside world, the other LAN & UNIFI interfaces are working fine

                well how is internet going to work with just TCP... dns is UDP... to lookup www.internet.com you need to be able to talk UDP.

                  A schoolboy error.. no idea how that happened!

                  I have just put everything back and its working!! I am so relieved! and yes it is so bloody easy now I know how it all comes together, you must have been pulling your hair out! I am going to do this again on another server just to prove to myself how easy it is :-)

                  All I have now is a dns leak but have seen plenty of info on how to resolve that!

                  Thanks so so much!

                    One think I have noticed though, although everything is working (apart from the DNS Leak)

                    The VPN Gateway is showing as offline?

                      What version are you running? That is not current version..

                      Oh your in the status section.. Thats why it looks different.. Restart the vpn instance.

                      Really dude your hiding a 10 address?

                            hmmm ok...

                            I run pfsense (for nearly 2 years now) as a vm on a HP Microserver running unraid, I wonder why it doesn't update automatically? I will look to see how to update now, are there any pitfalls I should be aware of jumping from 2.4.3 to 2.45?

                            Thank you

                              Well 2.4.5 just dropped like maybe an hour a ago.. at best... So prob wouldn't update just yet... Oh but your on a VM... Oh then just take a snapshot and click the button... Use to do that all the time when running on vm.. Even daily snapshots I would run - because could just rollback to the snapshot took before I clicked upgrade..

                                ok, I wonder why 2.4.4 or 2.4.5 are not showing as availble for me?

                                      I just pulled the trigger to 2.4.5.. And I really still have like hour of so more work to do... But I was pretty confident.. Had my media, and my backup (just in case)..

                                      Took a bit longer than I thought - but I'm up on new 2.4.5... Have to check that all packages are working, etc.. But clearly the internet is working ;)

                                          Well do a clean install of 2.4.5 would be my suggestion... You can load in your backup config file..
