        So your not going to google at all..

        That is not what you stated..

        Can you even resolve www.google.com

        I can visit google.com but search doesnt work.

        No your not visiting google.com at all..

        Try and ping www.google.com, do you even get an IP back?

        $ ping www.google.com

            When fails...

            You never WENT to www.google.com - you did a search in firefox browser... You didn't load www.google.com in your browser like I show in my example.

              The search from FF times out when searching www.google.com. When I visit www.google.com from the browser it works fine.

                This is what I get when searching from FF on a startpage....

                This is what I get if I type www.google.com directly

                  Where is that working - I see a get.. I don't see the OK (200) response. Where is the rest of what that would show if you actually went there and pulled data.. Again see my example.

                  I want nothing more than to help you figure out what the problem is.. But I fail to understand why this has to be like pulling teeth with a pair of chopsticks..

                  Here is a simple test.. do a fetch www.google.com from pfsense. Look what you get..

                  fetch.png

                  Then do the same test from something behind pfsense.. If pfsense works but your machine is not..

                    I know but I dont get anymore than that as a reply and then it times out.

                    Looking a local google domains, its not a problem

                      If you get no response from www.google.com then how does it work when you visit the page?

                        I get this from pfsense

                        fetch: https://www.google.com: No route to host

                        I cant visit the page. I get no reply.

                          Ah, so a routing problem.

                          Run host www.google.com and show us your routing table.

                          Though you see to be able to ping it..... but maybe not from pfSense itself.

                              ...and your routing table?

                              This could be an IPV6 issue....

                                  Can you ping6 to (www.)google.com?

                                  Do either of those other google domains return v6 IPs?

                                  You'll have to check your own routing tables then. Does it all look correct?

                                      That would never work.. You don't have a global address it seems, that source is link-local

                                      But not sure how you could not have a route, you have to have a default route.

                                      Do a traceroute to the IPv4 that comes back for www.google.com

                                      But as we have now seen, you are not able to go to www.google.com at all - not that you can go there but searches are not working ;)

                                      Something seems really odd that you can ping, but fetch says no route. Can you ping from pfsense? Or that ping was from your client.

                                      Do you have any vpn setup on pfsense, where your doing policy routing for your clients?

                                        Pings work from a client behind pfSense but we have not seen them work from pfSense itself.

                                        So client traffic could be policy routed maybe.
