    @provels said in Best way using pfSense to block Torrent / P2P: @WD_Doug Include use of P2P and Torrenting as violations in your employee computer use policy and fire the SOB. Worked for me. +1 I worked for a very large Fortune 500 corporation in the U.S., and that was exactly the policy in place. Depending on the particular severity of the offense, you got one free "forgiveness" (but a write up still went in your file to potentially be used against you at annual review time), but a subsequent offense got you the door (as in "out the door"). Some first-time offenses (such as a downloading/viewing or heaven forbid, distributing, porn) got you fired right away. No second chance.

    You can certainly isolate access to only certain hosts and not others. In addition, you can choose what protocols, for instance, you could allow SMB access to your file server, but not allow RDP. SSH is a bit trickier since you can tunnel other protocols through it, so you might need to disable that functionality on the SSH server first.

    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!! https://msrc-blog.microsoft.com/2019/08/13/patch-new-wormable-vulnerabilities-in-remote-desktop-services-cve-2019-1181-1182/ 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. Steve
