      My configurations is wireless network, VLAN through a switch to an the internal interface on the Pfsense box. The WAN is connected to the internet. I can ping the IP addresses of any website and if I put the IP address in my browser im able to go to the site. But If try to ping google.com or put it in my browser it doesn't work. I have tried resetting the DNS forwarder, manually putting in the DNS servers. Please help!!!!

        Check your firewall rules for that interface, make sure that the rules allow all protocols, or at least TCP and UDP both.

        It's not uncommon to accidentally make a rule that only passes TCP, which would behave exactly as you describe.
