            Out of the box pfsense resolves.. No need to enter anything for dns to work out of the box.. Is your wan public or rfc1918? Why would you uncheck those rules?

            Can pfsense ping its gateway? Does it show your wan up?

                There wouldn't be any gateway on "lan" side - if you put that in, that is why your having problems!

                It specifically states NOT to do that even!
