      @Antibiotic said in Port restriction rule!:

      depending on the clients."

      Is the important part here.. If the dot client is sane, it wouldn't work - but sure guess there are some really shitty dot clients that don't actually validate..

      Either way it helps with dot circumvent, because it the bad client will just work anyway, ie be redirect, or it will fail. I was just trying to point out that redirection of dot shouldn't work.

      Dot is the less common use for clients, android might do dot vs doh? Dot is easy to block, just don't allow 853.. Doh is harder to block because it hides itself with all your other 443 traffic that has to be allowed for the internet to actually work.

      Dot is more suited for NS that is forwarding to some other NS, and not actually the end client.

        Do not use discovery. Enter the IP addresss or hostname directly.

                @Antibiotic Steve's post was clearly in english, but then when you quoted it Russian ;) I was not aware that the forum software translated quotes to the posters language or whatever.. So clearly there was some copy paste on your part?

                edit:
                Your dot rule to lan subnets makes no sense.. Because you have a rule above it that allows any from lan to assume any local used network. So 853 would be allowed by that rule, there is no reason to allow 853 specifically. to lan subnets.

                On a bit of side note, what is the point of * as source... How would there be any source ingress into this interface unless it was the subnet this interface is attached too?

                The only time any for source makes any sense is if the interface is a transit network. The source IP should either be specific for IPs on this network that you want to have different rules for, or it should be set to the subnet the interface is attached to.

                  A browser plugin would do that. Or just Chrome with translate turned on.

                      The file server may not allow connections from outside it's own subnet by default.

                            If it blocks connections from outside it's own subnet and there's no way to add rules to allow it then you would have to add NAT rules in pfSense. But things start to get ugly when you do that! So I would want to confirm that's really happening.

                              @stephenw If i set back to Wireless router mode than make to allow from outside it's own subnet. Set back to AP mode, will this work?

                                First confirm what is not working.

                                Can you ping that AP/server from the other subnet? Can you SSH to it? Access it's webgui?

                                  @stephenw10 Yes i can ping and access web gui and SSH from other subnet. May be its possible to add some rule from SSH but what the rule? Router firmware based on linux.

                                    @Antibiotic So your using some wifi router as just an AP.. Yeah if your just using the makers firmware many of them do not allow setting a gateway on the lan interface.

                                    Can you put 3rd party firmware on it - ddwrt, openwrt, etc. All of these allow for setting a gateway on the lan interface.

                                    If not - sure you could either nat and and allow remote access to its web gui. Or as mentioned you can do a source nat, ie outbound nat so traffic to the AP IP looks like it came from pfsense IP on the same network.

                                    If me I would look to 3rd party firmware. Or better yet get an actual AP vs using some wifi router you had laying about.

                                    Advantages to 3rd party or actual AP is you would also then get vlan support, not just gateway on lan interface.

                                    If stuck with this wifi router as your AP, I would use the outbound/source nat vs double nat and remote access to the devices webgui from remote.

                                        You mean to put 192.168.10.1 in LAN gateway settings?But in this case would 192.168.20.0 subnet to see hard disk? And me use VPN on this gateway 192.168.20.1 for wireless network

                                          No you wouldn't put some other network as your gateway.. That setting looks correct.. If you can access its web gui and ssh via that 20.11 IP from your other network.. Then you fine - your problem with share access is most likely has mentioned by Steve - discovery doesn't work across subnets.. Just access the share via the IP 20.11 or use the fqdn you have setup that resolves to that 20.11 IP.
