      Hi,
      I have the following configuration but can not connect my pfsense to internet…
      WAN= 10.20.210.218/30 GW=10.20.210.217
      LAN = x.x.x.100/28 ( I have Public IP Here!! )

      My public servers use ip between x.x.x.97-111 and  x.x.x.100 as their gw ... this works ok .
      In this configuration pfsence use its own WAN ip to connect to internet so ....

      Any Idea to solve this problem ...
      --Mr.Pine

          As I mentioned before , pfsence box can not connect to internet !!!
          It seems that it use its WAN IP (private ip) to go to internet!!!
          I use Diagnostics>Ping to test connection!! pining ip and domain both fails via WAN if but it work via LAN!
          Also System>Package Manager give me this error !!

          Unable to communicate to pfSense.com. Please check DNS, default gateway, etc.
          

          Any Idea?!

            this is never going to work!  i am gathering that you have public IPs on the LAN, and those are fine, but since your gateway is using private IPs, it cannot talk to anything outside the ISP's network.

              You have the addresses swapped.  LAN addresses should be internal (private (10/8, 192.168./16 and 172./12)) and WAN addresses are either DHCP or what your ISP defined for you.
