    @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.

    Hi Derelict,
    Thanks for the answer. I get a / 64 from my ISP and that is also true when I look in the log you mention. And after I have set these check boxes mention above it is working :-)

    Why would anyone here know anything about compatibility with sophos, windows server, Cisco and untangle?

    You generally get a module compatible with your hardware, not the software. You would need to specify the type of fiber, generally multi- or single-mode. Anything from 10Gtek, fiberstore, addon, etc that matches up with your hardware should work fine. You probably want something intel-specific.

    Why are you asking about a 10G module then listing 1G hardware?

    @mikeybs I guess it was the VoIP traffic shaing, I removed it and download speeds are now 10MB/s

    not sure why....

    Your saying stuff behind pfsense doesn't have internet.. Just at a loss to why your vip would be .6? Whenever you setup a carp or hsrp or anything where there is a vip that is moved between 2 devices.. It is almost always in sequence with the actual physical IPs

    .1
    .2
    .3 would normally be the vip..

    .252
    .253
    .254 would be the vip

    etc..

    Where did you come up with .6????

    and .1 and 3 for your physical???

    So if your traffic comes in from some other path and not through the cluster, and your trying to use the cluster as your gateway for the webserver - then again NO shit its not going to work..

    What I would suggest you do is get 1 pfsense working... Then graduate to a HA setup.. If your going to use some other path to and from internet or other networks, then this path needs to be connected via a transit network off your pfsense box..

    Again I suggest you DRAW!!! your network so we are all clear how you have everything connected..

    You understand for port forwards to work you would need them to point to the wan carp VIP!! this looks like you have your pf1 and 2 in line with each other? Traffic hits your wan carp vip, and would be forwarded to your webserver IP.

    dns load balancer >> pf1 - pf2 >> webservers

    Did you reset the states for that ip address to be blocked? Pre-existing states are not affected by new rules or modifications to current rules.

    Again it boils down to LAN security, and it's easy to get hung up on endless onion layers when it might be overkill for your particular environment. Is your LAN used by hostile actors? Or is it a home LAN used by you, the wife and kids? Is the data you're trying to secure that sensitive? These are all questions that need to be answered before you can choose the correct approach.

    @anttechs said in I got Hacked By Unlock through my Borrower:

    I did try squidguard but I couldn't get it to stay running so I'm guessing it was because I didn't install squid?

    Yes, squidguard relies on squid to be installed first.

    @chrispeddler said in Combine Internet Speed with Pfsense!:

    Then you can combine them by grouping together.

    Still it is NOT 3x10=30Mbps or 2x10+1x20Mbps = 40Mbps. People have to understand that outbound WAN loadbalancing will not double/triple/x-tuple their speed depending on their bandwith but will balance multiple clients or client connections over those links to better saturate every one of them. But you can still end up using a line that is saturated ATM as there is not deeper intelligence in outbound routing that detects e.g. link 1 is used 100% so take link 2 or 3.

    Also connections that only does single connections will not gain much speed (if at all) and if your application/client is sensitive to IP address changes that can be a PITA, too.

    We don't really know what the goals of the project are / were so it's hard to advise usefully but...

    If you just needs to access EC2 instances from a laptop you could install pfSense in AWS and then use OpenVPN to connect to it from almost anything.

    Hi @chrispeddler!

    Your topic is the same solution of bouke, here works well. You need create aliases and create a firewall rule with the alias to block or allow HTTPS sites. Here I use squid guard to block HTTP.
