      Hello,
      OK, tomorrow i will try again, so you can do a good job! :)

      I go to switzerland from 11.04.2007 to 16.04.2007 for  the installation of 4 pfsense CARP Clusters. It would be fine, when i can use "timebased rules" for this systems.

      Is this possible for you an Scott ???

      Thanks a lot and greetings from Germany
      Heiko

        That should not be a problem at all. I think we will probably be able to knock it out within this coming week.

              Now we are cooking. Scott and I will be working on this over the weekend. If you want, in a couple of hours I will be committing the gui to releng snapshot and you can update a test box to start playing around with the GUI. The schedules will not be functional, its only the GUI end of this project. You can however get a feel for how it will work and provide feedback.

                Ok. To everyone who is going to update their boxes and play around with this gui, please please please make a backup of your config before you proceed. It is very possible that things will change in the gui and if you dont make a backup and we change things that could mess you up.

                Please post your feedback. If you find a bug, please describe exactly what you did leading up to the bug. There is one bug I am aware of dealing with sorting days when adding time ranges. I will address this later as it is only cosmetic as of right now.

                That said, enjoy :).

                Also it is not recommended to put snapshots on production firewalls. Try to use them only on testing platforms.

                    give the server about an hour and will have a new snapshot ready. Should be 3-23 snapshot.

                      error message popup : start minute cannot be greater than stop minute...

                      When i try delete shedule pfsense show me error message :
                      Cannot delete Schedule. Currently in use by Permit IPSEC traffic.

                      • cosmetics ... automatic adding leading zero...

                        Hello,
                        it looks fine. Problems:

                        as Bredys: start - stop problem –> start minute cannot greater
                        as Bredys: Weekend Saturday - Sunday at the right, for example - First Day in Germany for example ist Monday

                        • when i save a schedule, the next time i change to another tab and go back to the schedules, all savings are lost.....i know - alpha/beta
                        • In germany it is a time zone changing between Summertime and Wintertime, so i cannot change all schedules manually...
                        • I can set a schedule for a month, but in the configured ranges, i see only the days??

                          Oh, my mistake with days or months…, it works

                          • when i click on a configured red day, nothing happens.
                          • when i configured a range of days a line break in the "configured ranges" would be helpful

                            Hi,

                            I sent an e-mail to Scott with some ideas to the GUI.
                              I´m testing the schedule and it looks fine. I don´t know if it is the objective, but it would be cool if exist the possibilitie to create generic rules without inform dates, like 'work hour: MON-FRI, 08:00-18:00', 'All Time: MON-SUN, 00:00-24:00'.

                              It would be usefull if firewall rules show the schedule column.

                                    In this case you would not need a schedule. If you want a rule to be active all the time, then don't assign a schedule to it.

                                        Hello,
                                        i think a schedule column in the firewall rule is really helpful, because the gui is more ergonomic…
                                        In a few minutes, i will test twice an post the results.

                                          I think, this is OK and also ergonomic. This behavior is the same as astaro for example. No "Clickorgy" please. I agree with "Scott´s".

                                            Good deal.  We are making some progress over here.  I've got the backend hooked into the rule logic.  Now we just need to finish the date and time logic.

                                            One of the hardest pieces of this puzzle will be killing active states once a rule period is being enforced.  This will take some thinking about but I don't see any issues in the long run.
