      Hey,

      I've been trying to get my pfSense running for 3 days now and I just can't figure out why it wouldn't work. I honestly tried 4 re-installs, multiple tutorials and dozens of answers from forums.

      The problem is I can not reach the internet from my LAN network.

      Here's my complete configuration and setup:

      ISP Router on 192.168.0.0/24
      pfSense Box with em0 (DHCP) in 192.168.0.0/24 & em1 (static) in 192.168.1.1/24

      Clients in 192.168.1.0/24 via DHCP from pfSense:

      Interface status

      Not blocking RFC ranges
      alt text

      Service status
      alt text

      Disabled hardware checksum
      alt text

      Outbound NAT
      alt text

      If you need any additional information, please hit me up. I really appreciate your time and help!

      Cheers

        Generally speaking, pfSense works just out of the box after running through the setup wizard.
        Check out https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/book/config/troubleshooting.html and https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/routing/connectivity-troubleshooting.html

          @n1l0c said in No LAN internet connection on initial setup:

          What exactly does that mean? What error message is returned by your browser when you try to access a site?

          Can you ping 8.8.8.8 from a LAN client?

          Can you ping www.google.com from the same?

          Can you ping 8.8.8.8 from the firewall in Diagnostics > Ping?

          Can you ping www.google.com from the firewall in Diagnostics > Ping?

          Can you resolve www.google.com from the firewall in Diagnostics > DNS Lookup?

          DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!
