            Looks good, is exactly what I have.

            I presume a ping from your pfsens box to i.e. google.com works.
            ping from your PC, using domain google.com and it's IP:
            ping 74.125.228.174

            Use on of these:
            google.com has address 74.125.228.174
            google.com has address 74.125.228.160
            google.com has address 74.125.228.161
            google.com has address 74.125.228.162
            google.com has address 74.125.228.163
            google.com has address 74.125.228.164
            google.com has address 74.125.228.165
            google.com has address 74.125.228.166
            google.com has address 74.125.228.167
            google.com has address 74.125.228.168
            google.com has address 74.125.228.169

            The gateway on your PC is 192.168.0.254 - right ?
            You can ping 192.168.0.254, right ?

            Btw: why not using 192.168.0.254/24 ? (instead of your /16)

            No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.

              "i set gateway on wan adapter to my router ip my wan adapter have ip public to. my isp give me 5 ip public."

              Well your gateway would be your ISP then not your "modems" IP that is one of the 5?

              You sure this is a "modem" in front of pfsense - or is it doing NAT?

                thanks Gertjan, its work now, the problem because i use google dns server, when i change to pfsense ip, i can conect to internet.

                @johnpoz : yes my gateway is  isp.

                thanks all

                  That is not a problem, your lan rules allow you to talk outbound on 53 udp, so you clearly should of been able to use google dns.  Now possible your isp blocks access outbound on dns?  But what dns you use has little to do with actually connectivity.

                  Either you had connectivity or you don't - some client not able to resolve www.something.com is not lack of internet access, etc.
