    @waqar-uk said in General Questions from a Noob: @johnpoz said in General Questions from a Noob: @waqar-uk Yeah they are fine for dumb - but why would you have purchased a smart if all you wanted wanted/needed was dumb. Was your future plan to use them as vlans? If so the v2 version has not gotten a firmware update while the v3 models seems to have a firmware update out that is suppose to fix their mishandling of vlans. I just bough a TP link 8 port switch to use as a way to pass my Pfsense LAN to many of my devices, be they a wireless AP, power line networking and my main desktop direct Ethernet connection. They're OK as a regular switch or even for port mirroring. However, you can forget about using them for VLANs.

    I would suggest running a VPN between the AWS instance and your home router (which I assume is pfSense, if not why not! ) so that the NAS IP is always the same private IP. The VPN itself can just use a dyndns entry or if you use OpenVPN it doesn't matter if the IP changes. Steve

    @jegr said in pfSense as VPN+Firewall on hosted server: @mkaltoft As I suppose your datacenter ISP that hands out the public IPs hasn't allocated you a public IP subnet/space that could be routed, just let him point all public IPs to IP of the pfSense in VM1. Then use 1:1 NAT or port forwardings to map .171 public to .171 private. That makes a lot of sense - thank you so much.

    @selstam2 Seen this prob posted somewhere else. My first thought was, how come Pfsense, promoted as High-Availability capable, has this prob... then it occur to me this may happen only under some circumstances... It happens on my case because I notice my Pfsense box boots faster and becomes ready BEFORE my Arris modem (issues DHCP req when modem not ready to respond), which leads me to think a script or a Pfsense delay boot... hasn't bother me much for me to take any action 'cuz my UPS spoils me :)

    @stephenw10 said in LDAP AD Extended Query with 2 groups: clear both those queries work individually but you want to authenticate only users who are members of both groups? Sorry, I wasnt being clear in previous post. I found this post to be similar to my issue: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/103988/ldap-extended-query-with-multiple-groups The solutions in there did not work for me. Is there a way to make this work? My pfSense version is 2.4.2. Thank you,

    We looked over the config and there were some design issues that allowed the attacker to gain access and install minerd, we have made some suggestions on a redesign. This was NOT a flaw in our software, but human error.

    @johnpoz said in PfSense Box cant ping LAN: @jahonix That https://textik.com is slick as shit! Added to my toolbelt links. Thank!!! That will make for some really nice ascii art network diagrams. edit: here is another one like that http://asciiflow.com/ I had ASCIIflow in that german support topic as well, but after trying both, it certainly lacks a few functions compared to textik. Textik handles links/lines between boxes and they stay linked/sticky whereas asciiflow doesn't have some sort of linking functionality :)

    Did you have client pointing to multiple nameservers? Having your client say with 192.168.1.1 (pfsense - local dns) 8.8.8.8 (googledns - public dns) This is common mistake made... I see it ALL the time!!! Users do not seem to grasp that a client doesn't ask both, or move to the next one when NX returned, etc. While you might list your ns in order on your client. You really can not be sure which nameserver a client might ask for any given query. Sure if one does not answer with specific time period for a query, the client will ask the other listed ns. And once a client gets answers from 1 it stick to that one.. So if you ask google for pfsense.localdomain.tld your going to get back NX.. Once a client gets back NX it will not go ask other ns for that since it was told - hey doesn't exist. Doesn't make any sense to bug the other NS for something that clearly does not exist. It will not ask again until the neg ttl expires on that NX. While you can point your clients to multiple NS.. They all need to be able to resolve the same stuff! So if you want to point to google and opendns and 1.1.1.1 ok sure - they should all be able to resolve www.publicdomain.com But using even different public that provide different blocking features can get you in trouble. While opendns might block xyz, maybe googledns allows it, etc. Which one is your client going to be asking? You can not be sure. Listing internal and external dns is going to cause you grief for sure. All your nameservers listed on your client should be able to resolve the same stuff. So sure you can run multiple internal NS that can all resolve any internal stuff, and then forward/resolve to get the public stuff. If 1 is down - no answer at all (ie timeout) then yes client will ask other one. Your fine here since no matter what NS you ask you are sure you will get the same answer.
