General Question pfsense MULTI WAN Rules and ERROR in Routes ?!
-
yeah thanks!
-
this really good! its godlike ;)
thanks for this example….
my mistake was the same subnet for lan and wan....thats stupidoi want to distance from bridging and ta-ta-ta its perfect -> THANKS phpzilla and THANKS Nachtfalke!!!
to do list:
other subnets for lan and wan
one route: from lan to gateway router on wan
firewall rules all access
thats all!one question left:
before i had bridged interfaces (wan / lan)
and this was like a tranparent firewall i think.....i had to only set rules on lan tab for access or denied things on wan and lan!
yet? can you explain me how is it managed in routed pfsense modellf.e.
have i to set wan rules only in wan and in lan i need only : source lan subet access to any ?thanks for help
-
its seems like that wan rules tab is ignort…..?
when i set in wan firewall rules block any any any any any
and i set lan rules pass icmp for alli can ping www.google.de
only when i block it in lan tab, i cant ping google.
therefore i have to only set the lan rules tab ?
is it right?
thanks
-
You have to set the rule in the right direction:
If the direction is from LAN to WAN, for example a Client should not connect to or ping google, then you must enter a LAN rule.
If you want, that someone from the internet/WAN should be ablte to connect to your LAN (Webserver, E-Mail-Server) then you must enter a WAN rule.
Remember: NO rules means everything is BLOCKED.
In general you do not want that someone from the WAN/internet should be able to connect to you LAN, therefor there should be no rules on WAN tab. -
at first thanks nachtfalke
hmmm,
have one more question.
when i added a second gateway…..
can i set a second static route with same network but other gateway?
this strange....one way, two gateways :??i have only one lan but two isp gateways.....all user should use the first gateway and one user the second gateway.
thanks for help
-
Yes, you can. For every rule you could specify a gateway.
If you have more than one WAN, you should read more about "Load Balancing", "Multi WAN" and "Failover". I think this could be interesting for you.
REMEMBER:
The firewall rule take effect from top to down. The first rule which matches will be used. -
at first thanks nachtfalke
i have only one lan but two isp gateways…..all user should use the first gateway and one user the second gateway.that's policy based routing, you can make a firewall rule for this and select the appropriate gateway to use when a packet comes in from the one user.

f.e.
routing
192.168.10.0/24 192.168.20.4 WAN
192.168.10.0/24 192.168.30.4 WAN2and then in firewall LAN tab (top entries are dominating) one entry for this one user, how should use gateway two (wan2), with gateway entry to wan2
is it right?
AND…
load balancing...thats intressting yes right!
is it for two internetconnections....like trunking?thanks a lot for your professional infos !!!!
-
For example, if you would like, that Host A with 192.168.10.25/24 should be routet over WAN2 it could look like this:
pass 192.168.10.25 * * * WAN2 This is for Host A over WAN2
pass 192.168.10.0 * * * WAN1 This is for all Hosts from 192.168.10.0/24Load Balancing could be used for 2 or more interfaces. Its not really like trunking, its more like Bonding.
Seach the forum for Failover, Load Balancing and Multi-WAN. Check the pfsense docs, too. -
ok thanks nachtfalke!
i will try this!i found good tutorials for load balancing and failover….
but there is a difference in it!
some make it with a bridge between the wan connections and some not.
what is the better way ?thanks for help
-
Sorry. DOn't know when to use this in bridge mode.
I use it without bridge and I think this is the normal way to use Load Balancing. Perhaps there are special scenarios which need another configuration. -
with bridge interfaces, we are on osi layer 2 or?
-
Yes, bridging is Layer 2
