      @johnpoz That's what I am trying to figure out. The network cannot access sites on the same LAN without some sort of VPN or editing the host file on my PC. I don't get why outside access works but LAN connections don't when they're on the same network. No idea what has changed but something has. Sure Pfsense can ping the domains but the devices cannot, It sees the IP but the request times outimage_2022-01-15_002734.png

        @itzdaniel483 62.31 sure and the hell is not your same lan..

        Again if your pfsense wan is some rfc1918 address, and your trying to hit some public IP that on the wan of your isp router - your isp router would have to send that back into pfsense wan 192.168 address.

        Has zero to do with pfsense..

        If www.domain.tld is local to your network, just set your dns to resolve www.domain.tld to your local 192.168 address.. This is a better solution anyway, it never makes any sense to have traffic transit your firewall just for your firewall to send it back to the same network your own for traffic that it should of never be involved with in the first place.

          @johnpoz yeah don’t worry I know they’re not the same but I’ve even tried to route through internally through PFSENSE by the host overrides and still nothing I am baffled
