      Topic says it all.
      I have tryed to connect the computer outside the router, and that works.

      Apple says:
      In order to reinstall OS X using the OS X Recovery or Lion Internet Recovery, you must be able to connect to the Internet. If your computer is behind an external proxy server or firewall, your network administrator will need to ensure that you can resolve DNS for the following hosts and contact them on ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS):

      osrecovery.apple.com
      oscdn.apple.com

      Note: Each hostname may resolve to a different IP address each time it is used.

      What do i do?

        and do they resolve from inside pfsense - both of those are just cname entries

        are you running squid or some other proxy, what are your lan rules - are you using pfblocker?
