        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.

            @athish said in pfsense not connecting to internet:

            wan ip :192.168.10.240/24

            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?
