    hmm… maybe it was a bug after all ... one thing i do remember, the first time i tried to update it went very quick, so i was worried and did another update after that, to make sure it didn't corrupt anything.

    Besides squid not working, what are the other disadvantages of running nanobsd ? Like i said I had SLC SD cards so i'm not worried about limited write cycles.

    Setting the local network to 0.0.0.0/0 to reach the Internet is the right move. Technically that should have also been required in racoon as well, though at times with mobile it was all too happy to take whatever P2 network the client said it wanted, which is a tad insecure.

    Your probably getting a cert error with lync. You may have bypass https filter for lync's external server..
    What are you seeing in your lync client logs? There is alot of into in there. use Snooper to read them

    @heper:

    squid developers should remove the https functionality. It's evil.

    Some people absolutely need it because of law, like schools.

    The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

    What is the 504 coming from? It's not from the firewall itself. If you're doing it on a cell network or other network where there is a proxy, that's the proxy timeout message you'd get when nothing is answering.

    WAN net == WAN's IP subnet. WAN IP == WAN's IP.

    Assuming this is windows due to the "workgroup", is the printer wireless network printer or does it need to be plugged into a windows pc before it can be shared through the pc?

    Really need more info, like printer model to get an idea how best to proceed.

    @dennypage:

    Of note is that the problem hasn't occurred in the last several updates… was anything done specifically to address this?

    I'm pretty sure the problem with the nut package was fixed, which seemed to be the root cause of the delay.

    And to answer your prior question…

    With OpenVPN you can assign interfaces to OpenVPN server instances then, on that interface, perform 1:1 NAT.

    So you would be connecting to distinct IP addresses and they would be NAT translated.  You'd still have your work cut out for you.  They would all have unique IP addresses as far as pfSense is concerned.  On the ones that are the same scheme as the local pfSense networks, you'd have to translate both source and destination IPs.

    @e3ctsc:

    @Renato:

    Could you guys check ownership of /usr/local/lib? I saw the same issue on a system with squid3 installed, and noted the directory ownership was changed to proxy:proxy, what caused check_reload_status not to be loaded and cause sshd not being started.

    It was the file permissions. I compared file ownerships with an older backup and saw following files changed

    complete /usr/local with all files, subdirectories and symbolic links was proxy:proxy instead of root:wheel

    /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf was proxy:proxy instead of root:wheel

    /dev/pf was root:proxy

    After chowning them back I had to reboot to get it working again (perhaps there had been a better way than rebooting)

    Thanks! I pushed a fix on squid3 package, version 0.2.6.

    @LennySh:

    Hmmm…

    What else is changed?

    ;D

    Quite a bit… the "grouping" screen essentially replaces the DHCP screen but it removes most of the settings that are on that screen. It also assumes some specific names for the groups - which are setup as IP aliases.  It's really designed to allow you to assign static IP's to groups within one DHCP instance that assigns addresses for the LAN. I added a group element to the config.xml for each static assignment.

    I haven't changed anything that keeps the original DHCP screen from working - but the original screen wouldn't update (and will drop) the "group" element in the config.xml.

    If you want the code for the screen, let me know and I'll post it.

    @cesjr:

    It appears " There are no packages currently installed."
    and in the available package , there is no package of snort.
    My pfsense version is 2.0.1-RELEASE .

    You must upgrade your pfSense version.  Snort is no longer supported on anything older than the 2.1.x series.

    You might be able to export your settings and modify the xml file that way before restoring the edited backup?

    Have you also seen Status: System logs: Settings tab…

    Filter descriptions Show the applied rule description below or in the firewall log rows.
    Displaying rule descriptions for all lines in the log might affect performance with large rule sets ?

    The default is not to show the rule descriptions which can make it harder to workout what rule is blocking or allowing when troubleshooting what rules are being acted upon.

    Personally I log everything that way I can see when settings have changed/been reset on workstations due to updates or some other activity, even though I dont use ipv6 I still log it.

    How are they remote? Are they coming in direct from the wan or getting in via a vpn before being redirected to the proxy?

    One thing I do with all firewall rules is switch on logging of all the rules, this way I can see what is being blocked and not.

    In Status: System logs: Settings tab, there is an option to show the firewall rule being applied, rather than just having ip addresses/ports with their corresponding block or allow status.

    This can be useful for finding out what rule is causing problems, but the default is not to show the rule descriptions.
    Filter descriptions Show the applied rule description below or in the firewall log rows.

    I use browser automation to check webpages when I cant get info/alerts/errors/warnings.

    IE allows you to control the DOM, but if you dont use windows & IE and do a bit of coding, this might be an alternative solution.
