<![CDATA[Installed pfSense and Snort and now YouTube only runs Ads or vids for 60 secs v2]]>Somewhat continued from https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=72605.msg413461#msg413461

I had to factory restore pfSense and with a fresh install of pfSense, I can't browse all of the Internet? Some sites don't load and some do?
The initial Setup Wizard for pfSense doesn't allow a user to use the Internet?

I find this unusual, as when you plug in a router, away you go.
Then if you want to restrict traffic, you add rules.
It seems pfSense has locked down too much, as I can only browse to a few sites and not access search results on how to make the Internet work?

Here are the settings I chose following the pfSense > System > Setup Wizard.
Hostname: pfSense > Domain: localdomain > Primary DNS Server: blank > Secondary DNS Server: blank > Override DNS: ticked > Next > Time Server Information: default settings > Next > Configure WAN Interface > SelectedType: Static > Static IP Configuration > IP Address: 192.168.0.2/24 > Gateway: 192.168.0.50 > Next > Configure LAN Interface > LAN IP Address: 192.168.1.155 > Subnet Mask: 24 > Next > Set Admin WebGUI Password > Admin Password : <pfsense password="">> Admin Password AGAIN: <pfsense password="">> Next > Reload > Browser > test Internet.</pfsense></pfsense>

Good karma to you :-)

If your WAN has a bogon/private IP then you need to uncheck the two settings in WAN interface config. That is the only default setting that you should need to change if your WAN has a private/bogon IP.

Also make sure you get DNS settings from either DHCP or set them manually to General settings.

Snort will throw a lot of false positives, but that's another story and something you need to deal with by either a suppress list or whitelist (now called a passlist).
