        We would need a lot more information to begin to provide an answer to that.  ;)
        What version of pfSense? Which install type? What WAN connection? What hardware? Which websites? etc.

            My first guess is you may have a grossly wrong subnet mask on one of your interfaces, like if you have a /1 or a /4 or anything else that's way too big it'll think a big chunk of the Internet should be locally reachable and it of course isn't. Verify your subnet mask on all interfaces is correct.

                Are you using load balancing or fail over?
                You could try switching the default wan to the pppoe connection. If it is a subnet mask problem its much more likely to be on the static connection.
                What is the history of these connections? Are you setting this up from scratch or replacing something with pfSense?

                    Some websites really don't play nicely with load balancing.
                    Try disabling it or try switching the default WAN as I suggested.

                      As you mention i use to disable wan and use pppoe opt wan but still the error comes.Then i use only wan; no opt wan,no load balancing, no fail over but no solution also i use to chk 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 dns . Here my opinion that something is blocking the traffic in pfsense to this website.Is there anything that i diagnosis the pf-sense traffic????

                      Thanks

                        Are you still running squid proxy? Try disabling it.

                            You may have to reset the firewall states so that traffic is not sent via squid.

                                No.
                                This will just reset states, no configuration changes will occur…

                                    If you find out what is causing the problem you can put rules in place to avoid it.  You can exclude specific sites from being cached or use a single wan for example. Since you disabled both these things it must be something else.  :-\

                                      lots of thanks Steve and maverick ; I will last try on weekends that reinstalling pfsense using single wan without squid server and then try it. If its works then i will go with pfsense or i will remains with my old one ipcop. :(

                                      Thanks again

                                        Take it one step at a time.
                                        Start with the most basic install you can, one WAN one LAN no proxy. Check everything is working.
                                        Add features one at a time testing in between each addition.

                                            i chk in Diagnostics: Tables then i see that
                                            112.0.0.0/5
                                            175.100.137.104
                                            192.168.2.0/24
                                            but the 112.0.0.0/5 is not belongs from any network so is this can affect the firewall to opening the some sites?
