Hey everyone,

I hope you are well. I am having some issues in connecting to the internet
to install packages using my pfsense box [2.1.5-RELEASE] and was looking
for some help if possible. I have 1 WAN (with gateway) and 2 LAN interfaces
configured for the pfsense box.

So I just ran a bunch of tests and wanted to share the results with you.

01. Gateway configured to 10.113.114.1

When I set the gateway to this IPv4 address, I am unable to see "You are on
the latest version" on the pfsense dashboard with the correct proxy
settings. Also I don't get any internet activity on the 2 LAN interfaces
that I have configured with pfsense. I am unable to browse anything in
those machines as I get a proxy server error. When I changed back to
10.113.114.129 for the Gateway for the WAN interface, I am able to see the
message "You are on the latest version" on pfsense dashboard along with the
fact that I am able to browse the internet in the two LAN interfaces that
are connected to the pfsense box, but not the pfsense box itself.

02. Pinging the two LAN interfaces

When I ping the two LAN interfaces from the pfsense box, I get packets
received results which means I am able to ping them both accordingly. Also
when I ping the WAN of the pfsense box from any of the LAN interfaces, I am
able to see ping results as well.

03. The two LAN interfaces connect to the internet from the browser but
doesn't ping any outside DNS.

So with the correct config of the WAN in the pfsense box, I am able to
browse the internet in the machines that are connected to the LAN
interfaces of the pfsense box using the browser but when I am trying to
ping any DNS server (eg., www.google.ca), I am not seeing any results.

As a TLDR - I am able to browse the internet from the 2 LAN interfaces
connected to the pfsense box but not through the WAN interface. Also it
seems that if I have the incorrect configuration of the pfsense WAN
interface, I do not access internet in any of the LAN interfaces.

Hopefully, this gives a clear picture
