    @stephenw10 this was the best application for the mobo, CPU, and some memory I had lying around. Plus, I got sick and tired of all the limitations of the stock gateway from Centurylink. pfSense is so much better now that it is running as expected.

    Being able to set things up the way I want them to be and control cross VLAN traffic is precisely what I wanted. And I did not feel like spending money on some hardware FW appliance with all the issues they usually run into.

    Unfortunately there isn't (yet) ab MBIM or QMI driver for FreeBSD and hence pfSense.

    I would expect the current Sierra devices to work if they present a known USB PID and u3g recogises it. But limited to AT connection interface.

    In addition to that, there have been amplification attacks based on ntp. So using an external service increases your attack surface in any future possible breach attempts.

    Best security practices dictates to use as less external services as possible.
    Same goes for dns and forwarders.

    (and the beauty of running a stratum 0 ntp server, over pps, remains with the few who have attempted the task.
    Now, I wish datacenters had glass roofs so gps could work on top of racks.. :)

    @justice41 Yeah, you'll most likely have to search for FreeBSD support on that card, like you said. Maybe one of the pros here can comment. I don't have any 10Gb networking gear, so I can't say for sure on that one.

    Here's an old post from the forum:

    @Gertjan

    you are right, actually WAN GW is 10.125.190.254

    as per your advice I changed settings to no interface (wildcard) and relaunched NTP service and everything works fine now, even package manager. All packages are in the place available for downloading.

    Thank you

    @ivanildogalvao said in Redirect traffic to a link using Proxy.:

    However, from the moment I start using Squid and SquidGuard this does not work, not even with NAT Outbound, Squid always throws http and https traffic to the standard link (WAN1).

    Hi,

    Please note this:

    https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/routing/multi-wan.html

    Under the LOCAL SERVICE

    "By default, traffic using a proxy such as Squid will bypass policy routing and use the default route for traffic at all times. It also bypasses expected outbound NAT and leaves via the WAN IP address directly."

    Also worth noting is that you were correct - before I reverted my config because all routing was broken and I had no connectivity except on my fallback OPT1 HW interface, I did check the GPS settings and was able to change to 9600. On 2.5x with the baud rate able to be changed, the GPS immediately started working and had a lock, with PPS working and all was well.

    Let's not mount that extra drive at boot then but well after the ECL does its thing. Where's a proper place to put the mount command? Would also need to remember to manually save (backup) any changes to the config to the extra drive or perhaps modify another script?

    @genfoch01 said in can not access pfsense via lan:

    but it was not connected as i wanted to configure pfsense before i connected it to the wan

    Hummm. Not really needed - except if you hooked up devices on its LAN that you do not trust at all.
    And worse : I can happens that you access the GUI with big delays (2 minutes) if the WAN is down.

    Why skipping 192.168.2.1 ?

    You did set up the DHCP server on LAN, right ?

    remove switch from LAN, hook up your PC directly.
    Set the device using manual IP settings like :
    IP = 192.168.1. mask 255.255.225.0 or /243
    Now you can - should be able - to ping 192.168.1.2 - and connect to the GUI on 192.168.1.2

    or, if you're sure the pfSense DHCP server on LAN is set up correctly, connect your PC to pfsense and it will obtain an IP in the 192.168.1.x-y range - the range is the pool of the DHCP server.

    After using Packet Capture, as described above, you can download the capture and view it with Wireshark to find the MAC address of the offending device.

    Hello @jimp,

    Sorry for my late reply. Lots to do and this issue was put on hold.

    Your 1st option was to good one.
    In the <cert> part for each certificate issued by the CA, the <caref> values were missing.

    I added the correct caref value on each certificate and re-import the backup file into pfSense. After e reboot, everything was fine.

    Thanks for your answer.

    Kind Regards

    So some issue in the hn driver when it's trying to bring up WAN.

    Is you WAN configured in some unusual way?

    You should first try diasbling all hardware off-loading if you haven't done that yet.

    @sylvain613 So, you're using the bxe1 for WAN and igb0 LAN1 and igb1 LAN2? Also, could you post Status > System logs > General ... look for things that produced an error. Also, what interface are you using for IDS/IPS ... LAN1 and LAN2? Provide as much info on your setup.
