External ssh login to LAN computer
-
Thanks ... still confused but at a higher level.
My knowledge in firewalls could be better ... trying to learn more.
Is there a documentation showing more in detail how to proceed? -
@zkab said in External ssh login to LAN computer:
pfSense 2.5.4
Huh? Sure hope you didn't mean 2.4.5 you should update. But there is not 2.5.4
-
Sorry ... I have 'Version 2.5.2-RELEASE (amd64)'
I will check the link ... -

can 'ssh login' to (IP 192.168.1.y) and that is the only access to my LAN
ok, i can help you let's go to your firewall rule and your openvpn configuration please.
-
Maybe I have mixed up things with OpenVPN.
Basically what I want is to 'ssh login' to a LAN computer 192.168.1.x from an external IP from Internet.
Is there away to set up a rule that allows the connection ... without involving OpenVPN.
Since ssh is running I have tested to 'ssh login' to my WAN address and it works OK. -
@silence post delete?
-
Pls check post above ...

@zkab
ok. Easy go to NATFirewall >> NAT>>Port Forward
CONFIGURE YOUR NAT RULE...DO YOU KNOW HOW TO DO IT?
-
@silence Not sure how to do that ... looked at Firewall>>NAT>>POrt Forward
-
@zkab, use the example of the previous publication and then send a screenshot of how it turned out.
-
@silence I have Port=45007 in my system
-
@zkab Uppdated ...
-
Where do specify the incoming 'ssh login' IP-address?
-
@zkab Everything working?
Don't forget to click above if the answer helped you. please

@silence OK ... I will test it tomorrow when I have access to the computer ... Thanks for you support
-
@zkab I would suggest you test before then, say open it back up to any IP. Then go to can you see me . org and test to that port.. Do you get green, that is open?
If so then lock it back down to your source IP.
Users quite often forget about host firewalls, so I would test that your seeing open from the public internet before locking it down, etc.

good idea.
-
@silence What do you think of this ... will it work? Should I disable OpenVPN rule or will port forwarding still work?

Do you still want to use openvpn connection for other stuff? If your not using openvpn, then I wouldn't run openvpn. If your not running openvpn then there is little need for the rule.
