      @brightwolf said in SG-1100 no internet, no web UI, SSH OK:

      you need to do is to add an "allow" firewall rule on your LAN network.

      That rule, on the LAN interface - is present by default.
      So, any device, hooked up to the LAN interface will have full access as soon as the WAN interface works.
      Typically, the WAN interface is setup to DHCP (client), thus when hooked up to an up stream (ISP) router, everything works.

      Except : the conflicting network range issue : when the upstream router uses for itself at it's LAN - this is the LAN of the upsteam router ! - also 192.168.1.0/24 then you should :
      Change that network address on your upstream (ISP) router, like 192.168.2.0/24
      or
      Change the default 192.168.1.0/24 on the LAN on pfSense to, for example, 192.168.2.0/24
      Like this :
      e1c066af-f926-458d-b175-fd12824cfd2c-image.png

      Check also the DHCP server on the DHCP server page, interface LAN : the pool must be in the 192.168.2.x/24 range. Normally, it is.

      Now, you'll be fine.

      Note : pfSense behaves as any other router on planet earth : with all settings on default, it's works.
      If it doesn't, check already existing material in your environment that isn't setup by default.

      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
      Edit : and where are the logs ??

        Yes, like, for example, an IP conflict because of which I could not connect to my pfSense on SG-1100 anymore. Both my wireless router (downstream of the SG-1100 and in bridge mode) and my SG-1100 appeared to have the same IP on the LAN. Once I changed the wireless router's IP I could connect to the SG-1100 again.

          Well, I did the "4. Reset to factory defaults", again, followed with the standard configuration with no success.

          Giving up, I changed the computer from macOs to windows OS. I could then have access to internet. I hate the fact that I don't understand why!

          Another thing is that from my computer I don't see other devices (NAS...) connected to the switch where my computer (client) is connected... 😬

            The client OS should make no difference there assuming both are configured for DHCP.

            What is actually not working though. Are you able to ping 8.8.8.8? Are you able to ping google.com?

            Windows firewall may have set that new network as pub;ic as the dhcp server MAC address will be unknown to it.

                  Yeah if you can ping by IP but can't ping FQDNs then it sounds like DNS is not working. Check the DNS setup on that OSX client.

                    That was the problem.
                    Now the internet is up and running through the firewall

                      Would you or anyone advice how to access NAS through firewall? I.e: how can computers for example connected on WiFi on the same router as sg-1100? Computers have address as 192.168.0.x while the sg-1100 has 192.162.1.1 and Nas having IP addr 192.162.1.2?

                        You need to setup/modify your Firewall Rules.
                        For help in detail post Screenshots showing your actual Rules here.

                          So clients in the WAN subnet accessing the NAS in the LAN?

                          You can open access to it with a port forward:
