Probably need a diagram to diagnose that. There are potentially some significant differences between a VM and real device espacially when what you're trying to access is the VM host. It's probably something in the hypervisor setup. Steve

Yes, you can do that. Just set the IPSec tunnel to use the 2nd WAN interface. The other end of the tunnel would obviously have to be set to the new WAN IP also. Steve

Yes it would show a gateway IP if it has connected. Check the systemlog or PPP log. It will shows the PPP connection attempts there. You would not normally check the 'dial on demand' box there though if you have permenant connection on it, which "broadband" almost always would be. What exactly is that other connection? Steve

@shjfliejfasel said in Is there any way to use the guest mode on my soho router?: I'm guessing this keeps devices on the guest network from accessing personal devices on the regular network. You need to know what it actually does before we can answer that. Since it is removed in AP mode, which probably turns it into a pure layer 2 device, it probably does something at layer 3. Like passing traffic only for external IPs. In which case you can replicate that with rules in pfSense instead. Steve

@jknott they did say they are monitoring and I did get a text saying they are working on it. I'm not sure if that means they found something or not. Can I get more information on this script? Seems like a great idea. Does it run right on pfsense?

@shjfliejfasel Have your added rules to allow it?

@johnpoz Well, pfsense allows you to put multiple prefixes, including ULA on an interface and router advertisements allow for multiple routers. I would expect those to be within the same prefix, but I don't know that's required.

@cre8toruk : if you a have a Windows PC somewhere on your pfSense LAN network, check out :https://github.com/KoenZomers/pfSenseBackup Just set up a daily task that downloads the complete config.xml. You could retain the last 30 or 60 files (= 2 months) When you need to use your spare pfSense box, fire it up, import the latests backup, and your ok. No USB drive needed. Normally, no more need to think about it. Just, ones in a while, check if the daily backup is made. I'm using this backup tool for years now, and have always the latest 60 days / config.xml locally available.

@stephenw10 Thank you for the help, I guess this is due to some older version of snort package which is causing problem.

@viragomann said in SSH: Got it. thank Thank both Griffo and viragomann so much! george

@stephenw10 thanks so much for your feedback and information. i would stick with ufs from now on, due to my basic setup not needing much

@johnpoz thanks so much!

Nice catch. Thanks for digging.

He never mentions local console login - but sure that is more likely the problem than anything at all to do with pfsense.. Pfsense has no skin in this game at all.. In his first post he does mention local logins.. But this clearly states rdp from his laptop on the same lan When testing I use a Windows laptop to connect with RDP to the server in the same vlan No matter his problem - pfsense is not in this fight.. His fight is with his duo configuration and possible rdp client issues.

As an update - thanks to everybody for the answers. Now I am reading on VLANs - useful knowledge for future tinkering. The culprit turned out to be IKEA Trader hub. I replaced it with Philips Hue hub and it works as it should. IKEA hub was also flawless for a couple of years, just decided to go crazy lately. So problem solved, for now.

Not sure why, but it works now lol.

@stewart That's something you should be able to do with any managed switch.
