      Select DMZ, then in Count enter a very high value such as 10000. You can enter 0 but don't forget to stop the capture manually otherwise it will run a continuous capture and it can become a problem.
      Download the capture data to wireshark and check for DNS info.

      So apparently my ubuntu machine does not send any dns request :

        That's not good. Is it even able to talk to pfSense at all? Can you ping pfSense (192.168.1.1) from Ubuntu?

            It can't ping Windows because by default Windows does not respond to ping. That has to be manually enabled in Windows. It is responding to pfSense though. So at least there is some sign of life there.

              So apparently I don't know why, I suddenly have internet on my ubuntu machine.

              I did not change anything i've reset my ubuntu vm twice to be sure and it seems to work. What the hell is going on here :o i think i'm losing my mind

                lol don't touch it. You have a number of things which don't make sense. Like for instance the ping to pfSense is taking on average 600ms. In reality it should be more like 6ms. You have two extra zeros of delay. That's not good.

                  Apparently even this is fixed. :

                  192.168.1.1 is my gateway to pfsense and 192.168.0.50 is pfsense ip..

                    you donโ€™t have to disable it all, just use this ๐Ÿ˜‰

                    netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="ICMP Allow incoming V4 echo request" protocol=icmpv4:8,any dir=in action=allow

                    Cats bury it so they can't see it!
