    @viragomann @SteveITS Ah sorry, my mistake. But no, I was not able to ping 8.8.8.8

        If assume, you didn't touch the outbound NAT settings yet and it is still in automatic mode (Firewall > NAT > Outbound)?

        If so at least the ping should work though.
        Possibly your router requires to add new machines to a trusted device list to allow traffic?

          @viragomann Yes, it is still on automatic. By that, do you man the ISP router or the Pfsense router?

            The ISP router. Some have a whitelist, where devices must be added to pass traffic.

              @rob893 Given the 192.168.1.1 WAN gateway is online that would mean pfSense can ping it. So it would seem your ISP router isn't passing traffic out.

              If you Diagnostics/Traceroute to 8.8.8.8 does it get any farther than 192.168.1.1?

              Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
              When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

                It doesn't seem so. But I did try to run my ISP router normally (not in bridge mode), and it sort of did something.

                Before, windows would show a no connection icon.
                After the change, it shows the connected via ethernet icon

                I am however, still unable to connect to the internet

                  @rob893 if your ISP router was in bridge mode I would expect pfSense to get a public IP address…

                  From the traceroute it seems the ISP router isn’t passing the packets on.

                  I would go back to your ISP next.

                    @steveits Alright, I'll see if I can do something about the ISP router. Thanks for the help!

                      Well, I finally got it working. From the online manual I found on the internet, my ISP router is an ONT, not a ONR. Someone pointed out that it being an ONT means that bridge mode was unnecessary. So, first thing I did was plug Pfsense in without bridge mode.
                      But that was not the end of it because I could ping 8.8.8.8 but was still unable to connect to the internet. Diving into the forums led me to this, which resolved the problem.
