    Hello,

    I set up a small virtual network with VirtualBox:
    just some virtual machines: clients and pfSense as router on my laptop.
    With my laptop I access Internet with WLAN.
    When I am at home I can access WLAN with my laptop and when I go out and use another WLAN I can access Internet with my laptop without problems.
    But not with the virtual machines!
    At home I can access internet with the virtual machines but unfortunately not when I go out and use another WLAN.

    What to do?

      Can you check out if it's an DNS issue? Try to ping a public IP, e.g. 8.8.8.8.

      If that fails as well, is pfSense able to access the internet?
      If not, it might rather be an issue or wrong settings in VirtualBox.
