      I am newbie in Pfsense, and I have problem that Internet not working for me with flat configuration.
      I Just Install Pfsense on vsphere and add a wan IP and LAN IP with no DHCP
      I add 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as DNS server.
      that is all.

      On MY PC I add a static IP in same subnet as LAN, and set gateway and DNS as Pfsense LAN IP.
      Also I try add DNS 8.8.8.8 in my PC but also not working

      From client pc I can not ping DNS 8.8.8.8 But I can ping WAN IP.

      Please help to get my internet working.

        Not needed. The default DHCP mode for a WAN interface is strongly advised.

        @am-steen said in Internet not working for me with flat configuration:

        LAN IP with no DHCP

        Not needed. I advise you to leave the default LAN settings, DHCP included.

        Not needed. If pfSEnse can access the Internet, it will find the original "Internet DNS" .

        Re install. Or use option 4 on the console.
        If you want to change something from default, change the password. But do not change anything else.
        See that everything now works.
        Then, if needed, start changing things.
        As soon as your setup doesn't work anymore, you know what to undo.

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