      I've installed PFsense on VMware workstation 12 to act as a firewall for host however its blocking TCP/UDP traffic (i'm not able to access websites) neither the GUI of PFsense though i can ping websites just fine. upon checking the logs this was the error http://lookpic.com/O/i2/284/VZbZFWW.png
      I'm using my wifi adaptor as WAN and then changed the host gateway to the lanIP of pFsense using cmd prompt.
      I can ping to and fro host and firewall ,can even ping websites' ip from host but can't access them in browser, neither I can access GUI from host

      Please help

          Yes, remove those two green rules on WAN, and post a pic of your LAN interface details (Interfaces - LAN).  How do you have your interfaces configured in VmW?

            my appologies its my first time with pfsense
            screenshot 103-shows i can ping google from pfsense
            screenshot 104-i can ping host ip address from pfsense
            screenshot 105-i can ping pfsense's LAN ip from HOST
            screenshot 106- shows that the host is connected via vmware adaptor
            screenshot 107- shows i can ping websites from HOST

            the problem is I cannot access websites from browser but ping goes through

              those two rules from WAN removed.
              here is the screenshot

                We have already seen this. What was requested was Interfaces - LAN screenshot. Not firewall rules!

                        Don't use that network for your LAN.  Use Custom: Specific virtual network and select VMnet2 or VMnet3.  I've done this a million times and I've never had this issue, but you are the second person I know of that uses the Host-only network and has this problem.

                            I'm sure it would but I have no such thing for you.  In VmW, change your pfSense LAN interface to do as I suggested and then try again.

                                If everything is working via IP address then it's likely a DNS issue.

                                  I can ping everything but cant access via web browser. not even GUI of pfsense.If that's also due to DNS issue. How to resolve it. I tried setting DNS to IP Of Pfsense ,Alt. DNS to 14.139.5.5 (provided by ISP)

                                      While I haven't used Edge very much at all, I've never seen such a problem.  What worked for you, Firefox or Chrome?  Do you have any proxy settings defined in Control Panel - Internet Options - Connections - LAN Settings?

                                        after switching browser it worked like a charm :)

                                          Chrome, IE and Edge all use the same system setting for proxy so if IE is working then my idea is wrong.  Oh well.  At least it's working but this is really weird.

                                            Well, I don't think it's the browser… checked whether the packets are not simply dropped? (Lots of similar complaints with virtualization related to various offloading features.)
