    @bengregory said in need help on pfsense setup on virtualbox: now i can't access gui from pc3 and 4 and can't ping pfsense and can only access the pfsense gui from pc in the virtualbox That's good. That's what I expect to happen unless you have added firewall rules to allow it on WAN and routes to the LAN subnet so PCs 3/4 know how to reach it. They should be able to access the pfSense GUI on the WAN IP if the WAN firewall rules are passing that. Anything you do to make PCs 3 & 4 send their traffic via pfSense is going to be a hack with that network topology. You should have them on a separate layer 2 segment. However to do that you would need to set the pfSense WAN as the default gateway on PCs 3 & 4 dircetly. Then you need firewall rules in pfSense to allow traffic from them into the WAN. And you need a custom outbound NAT rule in pfSense to NAT traffic from the WAN subnet to the WAN address. Otherwise you will have asymmetric routing. This would be a really horrible setup! Steve

    @pirod said in new pfsense firewall blocks many websites: was on static ipv4 I guess. Not sure why. Well if it was static you would of had to have set the IP, etc It defaults to dhcp that is for sure. BTW - still waiting for where you see all the complaints with no answers ;) I see many people complaining the same and no real answers are given.

    @stepinsky you would need to edit the subject (ie your first post) then you can edit that and add a tag of solved, etc.

    @thedragon said in Problems restoring my config: Is there anything in particular that causes the second set of tags to be added? Yes, the specific software-related bug I linked to caused it. In the next release the double-tag will be ignored.

    @natethegreat21 Even if you post the same screenshots multiple times, it gets not more clear, what you have configured actually, since the pics are still missing comments. And also the questions stay the same: Did you import the SSL certificates into pfSense? Obviously you didn't. However, this is necessary for HAproxy allowing to read the host header. I mentioned this already in the other thread, I think. You have the ACLs configured on host name basis. So HAproxy must be able to get it. But the client only send the host name after he got an SSL certificate from the server. So that requires that HAproxy has SSL certificates assigned in the frontends. Without importing the certificates you can only use TCP mode frontends and configure the ACLs to read the SNI.

    Mmm, there was a bacula package at one time (way back in pbi times). I don't see any feature requests open for that. It doesn't have any additional dependencies: [2.6.0-RELEASE][admin@cedev-4.stevew.lan]/root: pkg add https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/latest/All/bacula13-client-13.0.1.pkg Fetching bacula13-client-13.0.1.pkg: 100% 427 KiB 436.8kB/s 00:01 Installing bacula13-client-13.0.1... ===> Creating groups. Creating group 'bacula' with gid '910'. ===> Creating users Creating user 'bacula' with uid '910'. ===> Creating homedir(s) Extracting bacula13-client-13.0.1: 100% ===== Message from bacula13-client-13.0.1: -- NOTE: Sample files are installed in /usr/local/etc/bacula: bconsole.conf.sample, bacula-fd.conf.sample There is no front end for it though. And pfSense doesn't use the FreeBSD init system so you might need to start it using another method. If you really need it. Steve

    Hmm, not really sure what you mean by that. When you backup the config the complete config is backed up every time. It's not incremental. Steve

    @zprime I upped this very old thread, because it helped with my pfsense 22.05 plus system. Sometimes i have been problems with jammed connection, normally i do reboot and all go again fine. Now i started use IPv6, and i noticed very often jamming problems. I noticed removing lan cable cause unstable state and it not go back with replacing lan cable. After many hour googling, i found this thread and it helped. When i put fixed 1000T fd state all my NICs, pfsense is solid again. I hope some speaking why this very old bug still exist. I have intel 4 port NUC

    @michmoor said in ISP blocks ping requests to its gateway IPV4 address: I would use the functionality of having dpinger ping something outside of your local ISP That and ISPs often treat regular pings as a DoS attack resulting in marking the gateway as down.

    The firewall logs pull up the rule description from the current running ruleset based on the identifier. But the ruleset that was running when that log entry was created may have been different. Thus what shows there as the 'Permit to Internet' rule may have been something different at the time. And that seems likely because there is no way that rule could have matched that traffic. Unless it was far more open previously. However any single rule that could match all those entries would have to be something that applied to all interfaces. When you look at the ruleset directly that would be a rule without an interface specified. Steve

    Yup, probably an authrorised device key required there like gmail uses since you can use a 2FA login. Steve
