          To networking in general or pfSense in particular?

          If you want someone to help you, please provide real details like your interface settings and firewall rules, etc.  Nobody could possibly guess what's wrong by what you have said so far, other than bridging WAN to LAN is not the solution.

            Where did you get the idea to do that. You almost certainly broke your network at best and opened up yout LAN to the internet at worst.

            pfSense (any router, really) has nothing to do with "lan to lan" same-subnet traffic.

            DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

                Preferably screenshots and not a massive blob of text or a description of what you think you've done.

                    Since you are talking about basic functionality you might have better luck getting an answer in the forum for your native language.

                      I'm sorry but I can't help you if you won't post the things we ask for.  Good luck to you though.  I hope you get it working somehow.

                        And what are your lan rules???

                        Yeah it would block broadcast traffic - it doesn't need to send that anywhere, its already been seen by anyone on that lan segment
                        As to blocking a dns query to 8.8.4.4 - would need to see your lan rules.. Most likely you have some rule only allowing tcp..
