Pfsense behind the router but DNS not resolving

boomramada

I got my pfsense setup behind the router.
Router set to 192.168.1.254 and no changes set for the router.

General Setup
DNS Server 192.168.1.254
Allow DNS server list to be overridden by DHCP/PPP on WAN

Config
WAN: 192.168.1.31/24(Satic)
IP Upstream gateway set to 192.168.1.254

LAN: 192.168.100. 1 (Static)
IP Upstream gateway set to 192.168.100.1

Static Route
Destination network : 192.168.1.254
Gateway : 192.168.100.1

I cant ping 8.8.8.8 / google.com
Gateway status, I get following
WANGW (default) 192.168.1.254 192.168.1.254 0ms 0ms 100% Offline, Packetloss: 100%

If you could set the LAN your (ISP ?) upstream router to, for example, 192.168.10.1/24 you"ll be ready for an good experience : It will work out of the box.
All you have to to do : reset your pfSense settings (console menu option 4 - or Diagnostics => Factory Defaults) and when it restart, apply the golden rule "Change nothing, except the password". And I mean it : change nothing (this is important).

You'll see : your pfSense router works.
When you change something now, and it 'breaks', just undo what you did and you'll be fine.

Or :
Keep your actual "LAN your (ISP ?) upstream router" settings - 192.168.1.254/24.
On pfSense :
Reset WAN settings, go back to the default DHCP mode. No static settings needed.
LAN interface : do not assign a gateway, keep it empty.
Like this :

And then this :
@boomramada said in Pfsense behind the router but DNS not resolving:

Static Route
Destination network : 192.168.1.254
Gateway : 192.168.100.1

Don't know why you did this. Undo it.
