New Installation - No internet on LAN
-
I Installed pfsense fresh. Configured WAN and LAN as default.
I'm able to ping from WAN and LAN google.com however a computer connected to LAN port is not having internet
when I used a third party VPN service from laptop, access to internet was possiblehere is the screenshots from ping and traceroute

Later bypassed ISP router and connected via PPPoEBoth cases WAN link was up and had the same issue

Can you post the routing table of your PC, please? -

@musthafa
Seems well.Is the computer able to resolve hostnames?
Is the pfSense outbound NAT in automatic mode and has it added a rule to WAN for LAN sources?

No. I tried ping from terminal on mac.Is the pfSense outbound NAT in automatic mode and has it added a rule to WAN for LAN sources?
All default settings. Nothing changed or added from mysideComputer is able to connect to internet when using VPN service

@musthafa
So since you cannot resolve host names, it would be interesting if you can ping 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1.pfSense runs the DNS resolver out of the box and the DHCP hands the interface IP out. But is your device using it?

Here is the ping from pfsense

@musthafa
I saw these screens, but the question is if the computer can ping an IP directly with resolving the host name. -

@musthafa
So the internet works well, but it cannot resolve host names...Which DNS server does it use?
On the LAN you have to allow access to the interface IP, port 53 if pfSense is used. But by default there is an any-to-any rule on LAN, so nothing special needed.

@musthafa
The big question is still, which DNS server your computer is using.pfSense cannot do anything if the computer requests any other server.

@musthafa
So it should work actually, but the computer doesn't resolve.You can to go to the DNS Resolver > ACLs page and add an allow ACL for the LAN subnet.
This shouldn't be necessary though, but sometimes there went something wrong obviously. -
Have you tried to flush the dns cache on your laptop? Your system is not resolving properly. In dos run: Ipconfig /flushdns
Sometimes it holds on to records. Also have you set a rule to allow port 53 on your firewall ACL lists? Or nat ?
-
Your laptop looks to have two interfaces connected to pfSense. Is that Ethernet and WIFI? Try disabling WIFI if so.
-
@stephenw10 yeahhh or he can set to to allow use of both in the bios we had to do they for some equipment years ago, one would disable the other for some reason

No. I'm new to pfSense. please guide me on it

I'm using usb ethernet on MAC OS to connect to pfSense. Im disabling wifi while testing pfSense.
