Dual Wan, Portforward not working on OPT-Wan

tec

rob_v do you have a PPPOE connection on WAN?
I will try the next days to upgrade and solve the Problem

rob_v

I tested it with:

WAN 1 static

WAN 2 static

And with :

WAN 1 DHCP

WAN 2 static

Thx :)

tec

I am also now on Release 1:

Portforwarding on Opt-Wan not working
-deleted my static port entries but not effect

Now backed up config XML
-deleted all advanced outbound rules and enabled ipsec passthrough, and deleted "oubound tags" in config.xml installed again Pfsense, restored config.xml, did the normal reboot and it doesn´t even work work without having toutbound Nat enabled :-(

Still the same, the Firewall Rule is showed as above in the firewall log page but nothing happens

Right now I have the feeling that Dual Wan and Portforwarding is a mess or I am to stupid for this and just how it seems the latter is more likely

I have several locations where I'm using portforwards on multiwan setups (at WAN and OPT-WAN) without any issues. You really seem to have something wrong. I suggest starting over and not reusing the old config.

tec

Hoba, do you have on any location PPPOE as a Wan Interface?

hoba

uhm, no. Static everywhere. Maybe that makes a difference. Can you send me /tmp/rules.debug and your config.xml to holger dot bauer at citec-ag dot de?

Btw, how did you make PPPoE work at OPT-WAN ???

tec

Hi Hoba,
there maybe some Kind of missunderstanding:
Wan (the normal PFsensenstandartwan) = Pppoe
Opt-Wan (Optional Interfaces with static ips or they get them per DHCP).

Therefore I asked if in any of your Setups you have the normal WAN as a PPPoe Connection?

hoba

PPPoE at WAN shouldn't affect portforwards at OPT-WAN.

tec

Shouldn´t….
I noticed only on an old install that when I plugged the cable of from the PPPOE Connection and rebooted the Portforwards where working on Opt-Wan this is the weird thing.

On your Opt-Wans. Do they have all Ip from an ISP ? I have on my Opt-Wan a 192.168.0.0/24 Adress because I need that a DSL Modemroute makes the PPPOE connection or is this a Problem that I am using a private Ip range on the OPT_Wan Interface?
Regards

I will install the next day from Scratch and make Babysteps, maybe I ca find exactly out at which Point the Problem lies.

Should I still mail you the requested files?

jeroen234

did you uncheck this option on the opt interface ?

Block private networks
When set, this option blocks traffic from IP addresses that are reserved for private
networks as per RFC 1918 (10/8, 172.16/12, 192.168/16) as well as loopback addresses
(127/8). You should generally leave this option turned on, unless your WAN network
lies in such a private address space, too.

hoba

Yes, please send me the files. Maybe something obvious pops up by viewing them.

Hi,

Is it possible to make a (simple) config file what works with 2 WAN's (port forwarding RDP or HTTP or FTP)
It doesn't matter what for IP your use in this config file.
I want to compare this config file with my own settings maybe i missed something?

Thank you.

Kind regards
Rob

Hi back at home,
so jeroen234 on the Opt-Interfaces there is no Checkbox

hoba: I disconnected the Cable from WAN rebooted and then
the Forwards worked on OPT-WAN. The config with the normal NAT Setuo and also the Config with Advanced Outbound Nat enabled.

rob_V could you also test you Setup if you disconnect the cable from WAN and pos tyour results, only to verify if this could be the bug

Cheers

I tryed that without any positive result..
After this experiment i switched the networkcards to another pci slot.
But pfsense can't handle this action :P (get everytime watch dog failures).
So i have to install pfsense again…. I think i gonna buy a hardware router RV042 from linksys i'm tyred about pfsense soz..
It looks good and i think it will works fine but on my system....

Thanks, maybe i will use pfsense when i'm in a good mood..

Or.... Sombody gots a configfile what works with 2 wans and 2x RDP connection from wan to lan and opt to lan?
That's the only thing wat i want to try..

svd

i have similiar problem.
i have
WAN (STATIC)
LAN (STATIC)
OPT1 (STATIC)
OPT2 (STATIC)
WAN2 (STATIC)

everything is working through WAN but i can not even ping default gateway or any IP on WAN2 in my WAN2 network (/24). I did tcpdump on WAN2 NIC and see that packets are going in or out. But WAN2 never answers on ARP requests.

19:40:57.062126 arp who-has ...103 tell ...96

WAN2 status is up. I did reboot pfsense a few times but still no luck.
Any suggestions?

(pfsense 1.0-RELEASE)

hoba

Make sure your WAN2 settings are correct. Maybe there is a typo somewhere? Do you see any traffic from the pfSense at all? Maybe you need a crossovercable?

svd

my connection on WAN2 is like that:

DSL_Modem
|
| switch |

WAN2| | server with ..*.96 IP
with …103

i run tcpdump on 96 and 103.
if i ping from ...96 to ...103 IP i see on both servers (96 and pfsense) arp request from
96 "who has ....103 IP". pfsense doesn't answer.
if i ping from ...103 to ...96 IP i see on both servers ICMP packet from 103 is going to 96.
96 is trying aswer on and an sends ARP request "who has ....103 IP" which pfsense sees but never answers.

wierd... may be it is happening because i did install 1.0-RC3 and upgraded to 1.0-Release...
i'll try to do fresh install from 1.0.1-CD

hoba

Yes, try a fresh install please.

Hi Hoba,
I send you my config Files did you find an obvious error?

I am now on 1.0.1 and I can still confirm this strange error, that all of my forwardings on Opt-Wan are working when i plugg the cable from the Wan (Pppoe) Interface off and reboot the machine with a disconnecte WAN.

Maybe this could Help: I tried to connect to my FTP Server trough Opt-Wan. This Setup was working when the Pppoe_Wan Interface had no connectivity because the cables was pulled. I got the following logs in my Filezilla-Server-Log:
(000002) 11/2/2006 13:31:31 PM - (not logged in) (84.58.147.51)> Connected, sending welcome message…
(000002) 11/2/2006 13:31:31 PM - (not logged in) (84.58.147.51)> 220-FileZilla Server version 0.9.19 beta
(000002) 11/2/2006 13:31:31 PM - (not logged in) (84.58.147.51)> could not send reply, disconnected.

The interesting thin is, that I don't receive the welcoming message on my client. But in my Firewall log, the incoming connection is markes a succesfully passed. To me this seems, that something in the "NAT-department" is not working how it should.

svd

about my problem with second WAN.
i did fresh install - didnt' help. So i've tried
it as LAN NIC and ….....
it turned out that NIC card was broken.
i've never seen such strange problem before but
i'm happy that everyhing is working now.
