    Yup, that. Or have a transport subnet between the two routers with static routes over it so each has a route to the subnets on the other. That could be a separate VLAN between them. 'Two routers, one subnet' is almost always a bad idea. You can work around it with outbound NAT rules like that but it's much cleaner to avoid it. Steve

    Figured it out… In case someone runs into the same issue: After finding this reddit post, I tried to power down the modem only, while leaving my SG-1100 on. And that did the trick for me, pfsense could finally pick up the IP for my WAN. Take that with a grain of salt though, 'cause I'm 90% sure that's the first thing I tried, so it could be a coincidence and some cache cleared somewhere or something else? ‍️ Something to try if you get stuck like me though… Thanks guys!!

    @lousylucky The ICMP replies you can see in the WAN capture might be the gateway monitoring from pfSense. There is nothing redirected to the Proxmox IP without any DNAT rule. The second line in the capture screenshot shows that the packets go out with the LAN address and the Outbound NAT screen shows no rule. So for sure, there is nothing translated when packets go out on WAN and therefor if you set the rule on Proxmox for the LAN subnet, ping to public IPs will work. @lousylucky said in Can ping Internet from Pfsense but cannot from LAN: I can't get access to the internet (but as we can see data are going to the internet and stopped on pfsense) Where do you think to see that? pfSense should add outbound NAT rules automatically for internal networks to interfaces which have a gateway defined. A assume the Proxmox IP is set as gateway in the WAN interface settings, cause of the gateway monitoring, but check it again, please. Then go to the outbound NAT, select "automatic rule generation" and hit save and check if an auto-rule is generated. If not switch to the hybrid mode and re-enable the manual rule.

    When the system shuts down - a the controlled way - the so called 'journal' emptied : all 'disk transactions' are recorded. But ok, a system can 'crash' (actually never saw it crashing it during the last 10 years, but I am very able to crash it myself when editing core settings by hand). So, it can happen that the system == the disk was not properly 'dismounted' during the last reboot. fsck - you probably know what 'chkdsk' if you're from a DOS world (the thing before Windows existed). Give the "Processing journal entries" some time. Btw :Before you do an upgrade : Make a second backup of your config.xml, that is, one more as the daily backup you already made. Include ALL the info, like also the RDD stats. Double check your insurance : you have the USB drive with the actual installed pfSense version. Check recent system logs (all logs) for less frequent messages. The dashboard tells you there are packages to be updated : don't fall for it : whime there are packages to be upgraded - and your not on the latest pfSense, do NOT upgrade packages. Read the upgrade notices on the Netgate's blog. Test the console access. The GUI exists for the "all is well" days. The console access exists for the more serious things. Make sure the console access is logged ( !! if that works, you'll be sure you never need these logs !! ) While the console access is up, do a initial reboot from the console, to detcet any issue that might exist even before you upgrade. If the system comes back clean, and everything is fine, no you can hit the "upgrade" phase. because the console access works great, use menu option 13 so you can see (and have it logged), the entire process. If there is a failure, you now see what it is, share it with us - if not, just reboot a last time and your good. If it doesn't, don't waste any precious time : get and write to a second (2 !) USB drive the new pfSense ISO (this could have been done upfront ... I know) Reboot the system again, boot from the second USB drive, install pfSense (from scratch) , do a minimal (like minimal !!) setup ==> make WAN work - that's it). Install, manually ( !!! ) all packages you used, do not set them up. Now, and only now, import your config.xml. Reboot the system. Done. Enjoy. This seems a lengthy process, but it isn't. You should always have backup files and ISO's. - that can be done when ever you want. The reboot phases and checking is 5 minute seconds max. Because you took all the precautions, nothing will fail - ever - Murphy is there to protect you. I've tested this procedure during the last ... 20 or more versions of pfSense ? It works. It helped me to detected bad hardware - an ISP connection that was bad and all other situations that are more difficult to handle when you're in the upgrade phase. edit : and before you say : hey, that's a long story for what should be an easy click and pray method. Actually, it isn't. This 'procedure' should be executed before you upgrade your phone, PC, MAC, server, coffee machine and doorbell. Also for firewall/routers.

    @dominikhoffmann said in Has my SG-1100 been pwned?: I discovered that I couldn’t log into my SG-1100: In that case - do nothing - and switch over right away to the second access : That could be the SSH access (has to be setup up before) - or the console, which always works. The menu shows up ? Use option 11 - (restart the GUI part). @dominikhoffmann said in Has my SG-1100 been pwned?: Now it again is failing. Time to regain access and do what admin always do : By looking at the dashboard you'll learn nothing. The dashboard is there for the times when all is ok. Look at the - all the - logs. You should always be looking at the logs. Eventually, you'll know what messages are normal. The day things go south, you'll know what messages are new, and you know what happened. @dominikhoffmann said in Has my SG-1100 been pwned?: rather than a maliciously changed password? They would have to use the certificate to gain access, first. Just ise the classic 1234 password for GUI access. Lock down the GUI access to a trusted LAN - do not let non trusted devices access this LAN, and use a OpenVPN access if you need to do some remote admmining of pfSense. See the Youtube => Netgate => OpenVPN vdeos (even the old ones).

    @jknott said in No internet connectivity after replacing cable modem: @soul710 Well, it's time to start some packet captures to see what's happening. As I mentioned, something has to tell pfsense to get the new address. As for rebooting, Is the modem going through the same steps when you reboot pfsense? If so, then all you're doing is repeating the situation. The only alternative I can think of, other than the modem dropping the connection s an extremely short DHCP lease on the first address. Disconnect the modem and reboot pfsense. Once it's up, start Packet Capture on DHCP and reconnect the modem. You might keep an eye on the Ethernet LEDs to see if the link drops briefly when the modem changes addresses. What happens if you use the ifconfig command to disable and enable the WAN port? Okay so, in fact, I had a second router running OpenBSD, and it was suffering from the same issues. I had set up the OpenBSD box as replacement for the pfsense even, and I have used for a while now instead of the pfsense, but now I switched back to pfsense to track down the internet issues. As it turned out, I had a firewall rule which was preventing the traffic: #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # default deny rules #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- block in log inet all tracker 1000000103 label "Default deny rule IPv4" block out log inet all tracker 1000000104 label "Default deny rule IPv4" block in log inet6 all tracker 1000000105 label "Default deny rule IPv6" block out log inet6 all tracker 1000000106 label "Default deny rule IPv6" Which is a bit weird, after I removed the block out log inet things went back to normal. I don't quite understand this; since I don't have succeeding pass rules, which should have allowed outgoing traffic. So this rule should have blocked internet even before I have replaced the cable modem? The essential change was that the WAN IP of the box changed from 192.168.0.10 to 178.xx.xx.xx (public IP).

    @hugovsky Thanks. No, I haven't tried bare metal, I was really hoping to use this 8-Core server to do both pfSense and Virtual Servers (seems like it would be beefy enough). Is the consensus that pfSense isn't really going to see gigabit speeds in a virtualized environment? Appreciate your feedback! Randy

    Just contact Netgate sales and see what they have to say. They're the only ones who can possibly give you the information you're seeking. It might be too early for them to say or perhaps they're just waiting for your email/phone call. Regardless of anyone else's position, or education level, or people they know, only Netgate can answer the question you asked. I've been curious to see what the pricing model was going to be. Best of luck!

    @bpsdtzpw said in internal LAN routing: which I thought was curious. I had expected 192.168.1.1 192.168.2.1 As I mentioned before, those are the same device, so only one hop. This is the way all routing works, not just with pfsense.

    @tsawyer I've been using pfSense for about 8 years and have helped out here on & off for more than 6 years. I've never read a pf book and don't think it would be that useful to you except as an intellectual exercise. You almost never need to work with pf directly from cli. Do your basic setup step by step. Get one thing working at a time. Make one change at a time. Figure out generally what you want to accomplish and then read up/watch video or ask here how to do it. A lot of new users make the mistake of deciding (incorrectly) how to do it and then asking specific questions to get them to the inferior result.

    Thanks John. I'll proceed and assume hardware is ok, but be alert to possible future disturbances like this. I'm thankful for the good backup features of pfSense.

    @jarhead what I was getting at is the default setup from fios when they install it is that they don’t use the Ethernet port; they use the coaxial cable. But if the router they gave you was plugged into the Ethernet port then it’s a moot point—you got lucky that they didn’t use the coax connection. My guess would be to call fios and tell them that you want to use your own router. Verizon (frontier) likes to make it difficult for users that want to use their own equipment. I know because they pushed back when I told them to enable the Ethernet port on my ONT, but they eventually opened it up for me. Same when I wanted to use my own cable box—I bought my own CableCard along with it and FiOS told me they couldn’t activate it (more like wouldn’t)—I had to rent their CableCard for $5/month if I wanted to use my own cable box. But I digress. Assuming the NIC in your pfsense box is good and you’ve verified the cable isn’t the issue then I’m thinking it could be one of two things: Fios needs to do something on their end to allow your router onto their network, or... If you’re running 2.5.x there are known issues that tend to bork WAN connections—been plaguing me for a while and I haven’t gotten around to downgrading, so I’d try the latest version of 2.4 if fios says you’re good to go on their end.

    @bingo600 said in segment wifi traffic (guest, IoT, trusted): with a recent firmware it Wasn't all that recent - quite some time ago that feature was added. I don't recall the min required firmware or controller software. But if your running the current version you can yes run tagged management... Here you go https://help.ui.com/hc/en-us/articles/360046773733-UniFi-Using-VLANs-with-UniFi-Wireless You have to adopt via untagged.. But "As of Controller software version 5.8, access points and switches can be set to tagged VLANs" While I concur it should be a requirement for equipment to support if expected to be use in a true enterprise.. Running a vlan untagged is not really an issue where unifi stuff would be most used, small business, small offices, homes, etc. It mostly would be a concern where some sort of company security policy required tags.. I have not bothered to change my home setup. While I have multiple tagged vlans, the vlan that my APs are on for managment is untagged for the connection to the APs 5.8.X was released stable over 3 years ago.
