      lan ip : 192.168.5.1/24
      host ip :192.168.5.2 /24
      wan ip :192.168.10.240/24
      default gateway: 192.168.10.1/24
      no one in 192.168.10.0 network can ping and i couldnot ping them either , unticked those two private ip blocking rules in wan interface .
      gateway is shown offline but it actually works
      00:14:41.245015 ARP, Request who-has 192.168.10.1 tell 192.168.10.240, length 46
      00:14:41.247736 ARP, Reply 192.168.10.1 is-at 28:3b:82:fb:9a:e0, length 46
      this is what packet capture shows
      i have also written allow any any in both lan and wan interfaces
      i tried manual nat rules and auto generated nat rules , no change
      but i can ping pfsense lan and wan from the host:192.168.5.2
      what am i missing ?

        Ensure you stated the gateway in the WAN interface settings.

        @athish said in pfsense not connecting to internet:

        gateway is shown offline but it actually works

        This basically means that the gateway doesn't respond to pings.
        If so go to System > Routing and edit the gateway to disable monitoring or set a public monitoring IP which is pingable.

        It should work well with automatic outbound NAT rules.

            Is the gateway status online now? If not that is the first you have to care for.

                I wrote above, you can simply disable gateway monitoring!

                  @viragomann disabling gateway monitoring will show the status of the gateway online but i would be still unable to get internet ... actually i already tried it.

                    Are you getting carrier grade NAT from your ISP? Or is there some other equipment you haven't mentioned?

                    PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
                    i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.
                    UniFi AC-Lite access point

                    I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

                      The gateway status must not be offline. Otherwise it is not used.

                      So disable the gateway monitoring and set the outbound NAT into automatic mode.
                      Then try a ping from pfSense itself to a public IP like 8.8.8.8 in Diagnostics > Ping. Does this fail?

                          So I assume something in your 192.168.10.0/24 network is wrong.
                          Can you ping / access the gateway or public IP outside from other devices?

                          Are the network settings on pfSense correct?
                          What shows Status > interfaces?
                          Something in the system log?
