No traffic from LAN to WAN
-
Thank you! Hosts in my LAN can now communicate with WAN. But there is no internet access to both WAN and LAN. What rule/port to i need to allow on the Firewall to have access to the internet.
Thanks for your help!

@seyico said in No traffic from LAN to WAN:

There is no rule that you would have to add.. Out of the box the lan has an any any rule.. Which would allow access to internet. Since really the internet could be any IP or any port..
When you say no internet - you mean you can not resolve say www.google.com to an IP? Or you can not ping say 8.8.8.8?
-
@johnpoz I Can't do either of the two. I can't ping 8.8.8.8 and google.com isnt reachable.
-
From pfsense - not your client?
See my ping before. If you can not ping 8.8.8.8 from pfsense.. Then something upstream is broken..Pfsense is not connected to the internet.. You say your gateway shows up and you can ping your gateway?
This is a VM right? If so that is broken.. Your vm network..
-
@johnpoz Nope! I can't ping 8.8.8.8 from pfsense. And Yes! It is a vm. I have been on this for days, trying to figure out the problem, but couldn't.
-
Well if pfsense can not even ping 8.8.8.8 from its wan - then it doesn't have internet. Unless whatever you have in front of pfsense is blocking 8.8.8.8?
Again - does your pfsense have a public IP on its wan? You say you bridged your modem.. And you say pfsense is able to ping its gateway?
Is this a cable modem? So you rebooted your modem after you changed the device connected to it?
-
@johnpoz My pfsense has a private IP on its WAN since i connected it to my home network. Yes! pfsense is able to ping its gateway; gateway is online. Its a cable modem. I connected to the host system hosting the virtual lab to the home network via usb wifi (I dont think that should be an issue).
I remember reading one of your posts on this forum saying since pfsense, out of the box config blocks incoming traffic to WAN and allows all outgoing traffic from LAN, a rule needs to be added in order to allow communication to the internet. Is this correct
-
NO RULE is needed to be added or adjusted to allow internet out of the box!
If your pfsense has a private IP on its wan.. And you can not get to the internet - then look upstream.. Cable Modems don't do nat! You mean you have a cable gateway?
Is pfsense wan IP in the 192.168.100 range? This is IP range cable modems hand out, when they don't have internet..
You don't have the same network on pfsense wan as you do lan do you..
-
@johnpoz Okay, i'll check that when i get home. The wan IP is in the 192.168.*.
Pfsense and my lan are on different network. Devices on my home network lan can access internet without issues.The only issue is to have pfsense get to the internet, with that done, my lab environment will have internet.
Thanks

@johnpoz Thank you, issue resolved. It had to do with my VMware setup. Its all good now.
