    @microserfs and what IP was that - clearly your current IPv6 address is not block that I show you connected with.. And the only other IPv4 I see you using is not blocked.. You would have to let me know what IP you were coming from that was blocked.. Send it to me via PM if you don't want to make it public.

    Name it "run.sh", copy to pf and chmod according documentation
    https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/development/boot-commands.html#shell-script-option
    You will see messages in the system log like those quoted in the script after logger command.

    You will also need a WAN connection, as well as a switch or device to connect to the LAN port.

    Enter your router's IP address into your favorite web browser. Log in as the administrator. Go to settings and look for an option titled WiFi name or SSID. Enter your new WiFi name.

    @Bob-Dig said in VLAN possible with virtual Switches in Hyper-V?:

    @Mats said in VLAN possible with virtual Switches in Hyper-V?:

    The first one is to create a trunk adapter and then assign Vlans in PFSense. This had some issues on 2012R2 but is rock solid on 2016. I do use this config myself

    I had absolute no success with that.

    Also is it normal that if you add those virtual NICs, that you lose the normal NIC? And then have to use vlan on everything?

    And also I am using VMware WS on the other side (Client), which probably making things worse.

    The "normal" nic is vlan 0 so that should be doable. I did not have a VM with that config at the moment so I couldn't test it.

    You can try method2 and see if that works for you. If it does we know the issue is with the trunking of the adapter

    I have no idea, I've never tried them. I know some VPN services can use IPSec, most are OpenVPN only though.

    Personally I consider all those VPN services of limited use at best. Setting up your own VPN server that you control is better in many ways.

    This is going to be the attacker's machine if you want to have an internal pentesting environment.

    I mean I realise this is off-topic but I don't think you'll get much love for dropping pfSense. 😉

    The one area where a device like that might be a better choice is if you need to connect multiple games consoles to the same game/server from behind it. For some reason I've yet to understand the networking code in many consoles/games appears to be straight out of 2002. They often use fixed source and destination ports and cannot cope with that being changed. Hence the need to set outbound NAT rules with fixed ports for games consoles. They often also require inbound connections be allowed directly and that often means UPnP. A terrible idea in a security product.
    The actual issue appears to be the fact that miniupnpd, the UPnP daemon used in pfSense, does not support 'masquerade' for FreeBSD/pf. It does in Linux which is what almost every other sogo router is using.
    See: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/7727#note-3

    If that is something that may apply you could always try OpenWRT on whatever hardware you're running pfSense on.

    It's an old topic but my mum taught me to thank people who help ,)
    I forgot about this topic until I needed help again, how typical.

    Tnx John, I realized that indeed not all apartments need the same SSID, the grouping function is really handy.
    Radius was not an option due to the requirement of enterprise WPA and headless clients.

    akuma1x, thanks, I did indeed replace all APs with unifi. I bought a cisco smart switch which enabled me to selectively route the VLANs over the wires into the apartments. I only realized too late that these modern PlayStations have wifi as well ;)

    Streaming, yeah, work in progress.

    This thread is obsolete. It did serve as a honeypot for spammers (who can't see all the deleted spam posts here) though. 😉

    Locking it anyway though.

    Ok. The first, and probably hardest, part of this 'assignment' is defining what SD-WAN actually is.
