@a1itto said in Unable to edit rules due to bogonsv6? (I've tried the Max Table Entries setting): when my setup can support IPv6. Dude that could be 10-20 years before they start turning off IPv4.. Maybe even longer - do you really think say next week amazon.com is going to say you know what, only IPv6 now.. They don't even have it now ;) Either does twitter ;).. Or ebay even.. While sure IPv6 is the future, that future is not any time soon that is for sure. Even like 4th biggest site really on the planet.. baidu.com doesn't have it.. Again - set the table limit up, mine is at 1.6 million, set it 3.2 million your trying to load a lot of tables like you know china's IPv6 space in pfblocker..

@johnpoz said in Default LAN - is it possible to tag as x VLAN?: @d2freak82 create a vlan on pfsense, and then set your lan interface to use the vlan on parent interface that is your lan. Thank you! That's exactly what I was after

@jimp said in SSH + Plink + Pfsense 2.6.0 = Security Risk: I haven't seen a prompt like that before, it may be something in how plink is authenticating. I got it working again. The inial problem consists of 2 problems. By default, Plink could only work when the admin account was enabled, but this was resolved by installing Sudo The second problem of asking to press return at the end op the Plink command, after getting access granted, was caused by Plink itself. When i first encountered the Plink malfunction problem after the Pfsense update to version 2.6.0 , my thought was, that maybe my Plink was not compatible anymore, so i downloaded and install the latest Plink version (0.76) But in fact it's Plink itself that caused the second problem. After some Googling with the "Access granted. press return to begin session" message, i discovered that this is caused since Plink version 0.71 and beyond. My old version of Plink was apparently before 0.71 , i have now installed the latest version (0.70) that don't have this extra need for interaction and now everything works back fully automatic. I know that using a old version of Plink is also a security risk, but SSH access from the WAN side is blocked, and can only be used from my internal network. The admin user is also disabled for login, like it was before. Big thank you to Jimp and nogbadthebad for the help. Grtz DeLorean

@stephenw10 I didn't realize that I was able to create an interface for VPN. I did that (and it booted the remote users, lol), and was able to configure the FTP Proxy Client plugin to work with it. Thank you for your help!

@nollipfsense Also of note USB NICs will change the NDI, too. They're not the only thing that goes into the NDI but they're the most likely to cause a change.

@mrpete said in page fault kernel panics after 2.5.2 upgrade: the fact that it is a UFS panic proves fsck is needed? Yes, that. You would not see that panic if ZFS was used. Steve

@anetde said in sshd trying to connect to ports 25/ 465/ 587: the default deny rule on the WAN interface logs lots of blocked connection attempts sourced from the gateways WAN IP to public IPs in the wild on the mentioned dest-ports. That implies blocking outbound connections which would normally be allowed. Can we see these actual firewall logs? I would run ps -auxwwd and look for some script openning ssh sessions. But note this is sshd, the server, logging that. This looks more like someone use ssh as proxy/tunnel and trying to send mail across it. So just look for ssh connections inbound when that happens. Could be an admin connecting from a compromised machine without knowing. Steve

Indeed it's not ready yet. We had a basic patch that worked past the issue for most situations but was still broken for the allow MAC table. However further testing showed other issues with more complex setups. Now that we know the root cause though we should be able to patch the ruleset to allow for it. We are testing patches now. Steve

@gwaitsi Yep. Since my Qotom mini PC has a serial port, I enabled it when I installed pfsense, but normally use a keyboard & monitor.

@gertjan Thanks for that Thanks for your help!

@stephenw10 ok- I will investigate after work. Thanks for the info.

For everyone having the same problem: DO NOT add something custom to the DHCP configuration of WAN via "Custom Override" before connecting once on WAN. It will fuck up your automatic rule generation in NAT and resolve in not getting any ipv4 connection on anything but WAN. If this rule generation has happend...then it is ok to add whatever you want. For my specific situation I only had to add the string of my conf-file into the "Send" options of the advanced DHCP settings (as @stephenw10 mentioned) and it works better than it has ever had!

For it to happen repeatedly like that and damage the config file everytime you would have to be removing the power during the config write. So maybe pulling the power immediately after clicking save on something each time? Is that possible? Either way you should always halt the system properly before unplugging it if you can. Steve

What throughput vs CPU usage do you get currently? I've personally never seen pfSense running on anything that could pass 25Gbps. Steve

@reberhar said in dpinger stops (crashes?) after update to 2.6.0: @bmeeks My multihead site responded to changing to the Live Rule Swap option as well. The one that I thought was fixed by a reinstall of Suricata failed again so I have turned on Live Rule Swap there as well. Suricata reloads the rules even if you have blocking turned off and the same problem occurs. In order to monitor traffic, Suricata generally must put the interface in promiscuous mode. That happens whether blocking is enabled or not. And even when run in IDS mode (no blocking), Suricata still must update its rules.

@tomrrr said in Web Admin Two Factor Authentication: then I would be unable to monitor performance/throughput/etc remotely Have the data collected by some server, protect the link with firewall rules - and now observe from ..... Dono, pick your place. Go here or here if you need something. Btw : I'm just a pfSense user, like you.

Can't see the timestamps on those so it's hard to say how constantly that is.

Yeah, you don't need to add any routing, pfSense will route between all connected subnets by default. With pf disabled you should be able to reach between the subnets. There will be no NAT, so no WAN connectivity, but you don't need that between internal subnets. It sounds like you have some connections in places you shouldn't. Steve

Yeah, it sure looks like something objecting to whatever the Pi is doing. If it is Comcast it seems like they should know they're doing it. But....

@raulchiarella said in Could not fetch URL when creating ALIAS: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/victorfmaraujo/pfsense-aliases/master/WHATSAPP/whatsapp.as So created an alias using that, seems to pull fine. Then put into a rule to test the table being loaded. Tables are not really populated until the alias is actually put into a rule. But then you can see the table populated [image: 1646063641701-working.jpg] edit: btw that list could you some clean up for sure... lots of duplicated networks. example - these are all listed 185.60.216.0/22 185.60.216.0/24 185.60.217.0/24 185.60.218.0/24 185.60.219.0/24 But that first /22 covers all of those /24s - there are multiple examples of that in that list..
