    @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

    You will see messages in the system log like those quoted in the script after logger command.

    Dude I hear you... And I don't get it either.. What is written is correct, but I think he doesn't like that the term private was used vs say unallocated and now allocated.. Because 1/8 was never in the private space - it was reserved and not allocated..

    Thats my take on it.. I think its fine as written.. His confusion over something that is quite clear, is what is confusing to me ;)

    I think he should suggest the "wording/update" that he thinks would be less confusing ;)

    Shockingly, the CPU on my system ended up being defective! Lol. I replaced the motherboard/CPU and haven't had a problem ever since.

    So you want pfsense/netgate to create ready to boot images for every possible virtual software?

    Just install from the iso, or usb installer

    Once you have it installed once - you can take your own image, and then whenever you want another copy there you go.. I do this for most any os I install on any hypervisor.

    Unless you're authenticating against a user backend, then squid would have no concept of 'user'. All it would know is that IP address X requested URL Y.

    Access from where?

    And opening RDP would be a BAD freaking idea!!

    Just one example of why its BAD idea to expose rdp to the public.

    I couldn't find a hardware problem, but i suspect it was a cpu issue. Anyway, I replaced it with a used Dell optiplex 390 with core i5 and things are running smoothly. Thank you for the replys

    Ah, OK. Yes you would need firewall rules to pass the traffic. That should have appeared as blocked traffic in the firewall log before you added that TCP rule.

    You might want to just change that rule to allow 'any' protocol but set the source as WANnet and destination as LANnet. That will restrict it to local connections only.

    You will still need the static route to the .20.x subnet on every client that needs to access it. An alternative would be to put the static route on your upstream router instead. However you will hit asymmetric routing issues if you do.

    https://192.168.1.1

    Have you changed the port to anything else?

    Yup, you could change the default gateway. That really does change it for everything on all interfaces though and the firewall itself.
    If you need to change that for over 100 rules I would probably edit the config directly and then restore it. There is always some rick of a typo doing that though.

    You mean that little test thing in plex?

    This shows red?
    this.png

    You notice mine isn't even enabled - doesn't mean anything ;)

    Notice the part where is say "MAY NEED TOO" - when your doing it via cloudflare reverse, you really on purpose do not enable this because then it hands out your IP, etc. Which you don't want because you want it going through your cloudflare reverse proxy.
