freebsd server no network

B

I just bought a FreeBSD server for first time after awhile of using linux servers and I'm pretty new to it.
So I can ssh to the server itself but can't install any packages or even ping google or anything.
I can't get inxi doesn't work and /proc is empty so can't get any other info as well all I can get is freebsd-version which gives me 12.0-RELEASE.
Edit: So I found this thread https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/...ng-google-com-but-able-to-ping-8-8-8-8.68133/
And I tested it and I have the same problem but I don't understand the thread itself and why the problem occurs.
 
FreeBSD does not generally use /proc but, if it's needed for a program that may have come from the Linux world or some use it for debugging, you need to mount it yourself. None of my servers or workstations uses /proc and it is not mounted.

Beyond that, we need far more information about your setup.

As long as you now have Internet access, you can start installing pkgs and configuring the pkgs. You may also take a closer look at the rc.conf to enable/setup a gateway (default router) and a firewall (pf_enable - this will require you editing pf.conf).
