    Hey all, I used the stencil provided above and created a new one for the Netgate appliance xg-7100 with the optional interface card for 2 more SFP ports. If anyone is interested. [0_1609891911039_NetgateFirewall.vssx](Uploading 0%) NetgateFirewall.zip

    Also DNS-SD (see http://dns-sd.org) doesn't work when connecting with OpenVPN and forwarding to the client correct DNS suffix name. I've setup my internal DNS server to publish many of my service on my LAN ... but them not get discovered on iOS.

    If it's a static IP then it does not have to reach out for dhcp. If there have not been any connection to it inside the arp expire time it will not show. If you ping it from the firewall it will show again in the tabel. You can add that as a static dhcp lease even if it's not using dhcp so pfSense knows about it. If you have Unbound resolving static leases you can use it's hostname dircetly. Steve

    Does it still have the original Celeron CPU in it? You won't see 900Mbps through that. somewhere in 500-600Mbps range is more likely. I assume you mean 150Mbps not 150MB? Bits per second not Bytes? Since that would be over 1G.... That hardware is 32bit. It has not been able to run a current version of pfSense for several years. Whatever version you have on there is obsolete, you should think about upgrading. Steve

    It wouldn't make any difference in terms of the dhcp server. I would use routed IPSec there if the other router supports it if only because there are issues with GRE/IPSec in pfSense which it's better to avoid. And you definitely want to use encryption. Steve

    Do you mean the CARP VIPs remain master on the secondary node? And backup on the primary node? The primary may have demoted itself if an interface went down. Check the advskew value in the ifconfig output. Steve

    @nds2k said in Torrent kills PFSense DELL R210II Box: I shall try that when once other family members are not using the network. If you know what device is using the torrent, and you have a ISP router in front of your pfSEnse, you could hook up that device only without taking your network down. @nds2k said in Torrent kills PFSense DELL R210II Box: Noted! You didn't know that most ISP's do not like at all the usage of P2P protocols as they are used for distributing very legal info like Windows updates and the like, and also less legal files like ripped DVD etc ? If the destination IP is from these "Windows updates" servers, then the content isn't blocked, of course.

    Yes, unless you have outbound NAT configured on that interface. Check the state table for that states on that interface. Steve

    Yes exporting syslog and netflow data is the way to go for that. Long term data is not intended to be held in pfSense directly.

    Do you see it being routed in packet captures or the state table when you try to reach 1.1.1.1? Where does it fail?

    Got it working finally. For this I reset everything to default and started again from scratch. And both options now works. If I do it via NAT it works. And if I change this to a static route in the destination network (so without NAT) it also works. I think I have the same configured as before. But apparently something was wrong before, because now it works. Thank you all for your input and suggestions.

    @imthenachoman said in hide false positive blocked/rejected firewall entries: My FW rules are very prescriptive. My last FW rule rejects everything that a previous rule doesn't allow. I was talking about your WAN rules, your screenshot is the LAN or one of the LAN interfaces isn't it as you're doing DNS redirects to the firewall. If you really want to understand whats hitting the firewall send the logs to a syslog server, then look at the data, I send mine to my Synology NAS and can export out if needed to Excel.

    @tabmow It's really easy to use, which is why i opted to use it myself, i also don't need another VM or Docker container running when the PfSense box can do this along with the LE certs Do keep in mind HA only works at TCP level, so if you wanted to proxy anything non HTTPS, you might have issues
