      Hello, greetings to all the community

      I wanted to know if it would give me complications to change from Mikrotik to Pfsense since I currently have a network problem and I don't know or part of the network issue, I'm totally green, since mikrotik currently blocks my access to my hosting although it is currently 100% operational, but The issue to enter hosting by main/internal network gives me an error or I get a 404 error, your connection has been rejected, but I use another network like my home network and everything works perfectly or vpn. That's why I don't understand, I hope your help or at least find the said problem. Cheers

        @castle What Mikrotik hardware are you using? And are you using it in SwitchOS or RouterOS mode?

          Sounds like your connection is being redirected to something else. You're not connected to what you think you are. Check the cert if it's https.

          pfSense won't do that unless it's configured to but neither would a Microtik device.

                @stephenw10 I wanted to validate with you since I do not know the configuration that was made in this microtik and before starting from scratch

                There's no way for us validate that without seeing your current config. It sounds like you have some config issue currently though if you are unable to connect from some location.

                  @stephenw10 hay una forma que te exporte la configuración de mi mikrotik para que vea con esta configurado , o indicame que necesita para validar si esta bien configurado

                      Is there a way to export the configuration of my mikrotik for you to see with it configured, or tell me what you need to validate if it is configured correctly

                      There may well be but that would be a question for the Mikrotik forum unless there are any users here willing and able to look it over.
                      I've never used a MikroTik device so I can't you with that.

                        @castle You positively run both. I use pfSense as my edge router and Mikrotik (RB450x2) for my LAN, the best of both world and love it. The downside is it could be expensive having two devices plus the learning curve.
