VMs on LAN Not Connecting to Internet, pfSense Does
-
Hello!
I have two VBox VMs set up: one running pfSense Community 2.7.2 and the other running the latest version of Kali.
I can ping between the two VMs. I can ping from pfSense to the internet. But I cannot ping the internet from Kali.
My LAN IP is 192.168.1.1/24, and my Kali IP is 192.168.1.13/24. The gateway and DNS server are set to 192.168.1.1.
From pfTop I am seeing that the outbound requests for web searches and things from my VM are going out, but there is no return it seems
Do you have any idea what I could be missing here?
Thank you!

I figured it out!
The DNS resolver with pfSense on VBox is just broken; I switched it over to the DNS forwarder, and it worked as it should have.
