SMTP over WANB? (Multi-WAN config)

danswartz · Aug 26, 2010, 9:41 PM

you didn't answer my question :( you seem to think the adsl modem is in bridge mode, but obviously it isn't, since you originally had two different subnets, one on each side of the modem. can you really set it to bridged mode and try again?

Oh sorry. Yes it's realy set in bridge mode.
The old setting was when it was not in bridge-mode and I forgot to remove the old setting.

Are you sure the WANB provider is DHCP? It's odd you're now not getting an address…

Since I'm using this provider (about 6 years) it has always been DHCP.
And when your looking on the image I've also received my own address at WANB.
On my old firewall's that I've used in the years (WatchGuard and IPCop) it worked always.

I know pfsense DHCP WAN works, so continually mentioning ipcop and whatever is not helpful. Since your WANB is not getting an address, you must have set it up wrong?

Well… if your looking to the screenshot, you'll see that I received the address on WANB! The only question is where is my gateway ;D

Sorry, I meant an address for the gateway. That should happen automatically for a DHCP WAN connection. It certainly does for mine. The previous screenshot showed the dynamic gateway that was offline, is what I was referring to. I wonder if you have some junk left over from before?

I think not. It was a clean install. But I'll put the modem back in routed mode. Only point is that I need to configure incoming services at two places. (the modem and in pfSense)

danswartz · Aug 27, 2010, 6:41 PM

that was going to be my next suggestion: go to routed mode and put pfsense in the DMZ (if the modem allows that?)

pfnewbe · Aug 27, 2010, 7:34 PM

Yesssssss…. It looks that it works now.
I put the modem back in routed mode. Configured WANB as static interface (192.168.1.1), configured a gateway for WANB (192.168.1.254) and monitor address 192.168.1.254.
See the screenshot... Both gateways are now 'online'!!

I assume inbound SMTP now works?

pfnewbe · Aug 27, 2010, 7:41 PM

Not yet, but that wont be a problem. (I think :P)
Need now 1st to forward tcp 25 and udp 1194 from my modem to pfSense, and make the tcp 25 outbound route over WANB.
tnx! :D
