Can yo please post the generated /tmp/rules.debug?

Here is a me to.
on 2.0RC3 of today, no or limited traffic is passed through.
I can do normal pings, but can not browse most sites, but some sites do work.www.freshports.org, www.freebsd.org works, the site distrowatch.com for example does not work.
If i replace the 2.0RC3 firewall with the old 1.2.3 firewall, all is fine again.
My modem has ip 10.0.0.138, the WAN (vr1) interface has 10.0.0.100
In the logs there are a lot of drops on vr1block

Also with the mtu on 1436 no go.
This is on two of the tested sites i have.

There is a mss-clamp under system advanced. Does that help here?
-
Actually some 'clever' guy enabled multilink by default on pptp links.
Can you please confirm that removing multilink from interfaces->ppp, on your connection, fixes the issue? -
Just tried both the MSS clamping (setting it to e.g. 1400) and removing the multilink (didn't seem to be on by default b.t.w. - only em1, which is my wan, was highlighted).
Unfortunately this didn't seem to work. I'll try again over the weekend with a fresh(er) install

@ermal:

Can you please confirm that removing multilink from interfaces->ppp, on your connection, fixes the issue?I got the same problem connecting my Android to my LAN via PPTP but after I changed MTU to 1436 (WAN) it started to work. All data is routed from my Android via my LAN to Internet.
I does not how ever any PPP under Interfaces (or PPTP). Should I really have that after I created a PPTP VPN server?
-
With the snapshot of today, still the same issue.
I can not find the multilink option under interfaces ppp !
regards,
Johan -
Downloaded the lataest 2.0 RC update file today.
But still the same issue, MTU settings 1436, 1400 but no web page will load, or some partitialy and some do not.
Ping to the sites work.these i see a lot in the firewall log file

If i use the old 1.2.3 pfsense all is working well
Thuersday i will reboot it to factory defaults and try if i can make it work from an fresh start.

Well using a new installed system does not work either.
same logs 10.0.0.138 to 10.0.0.100 GRE dropped on vr1 (it is a soekriss 5501 running the i386 nanoimage).
This is getting a little frustrating.
I can use whatever verion of pfsense before2.0 and it works.
I can use any version of monowall and it works.
I can put my windows pc behind it install the nessasy pptp tools and it works
But pfsense 2.0 does not cope with it.We have some branch offices who use this, all with pfsense 1.2.3
Our fiber is is also on pfsense 1.2.3, but i am getting a little reluctent to use version 2.I hope someone will look at this, because for us this is a showstopper.

In both files i see the GRE protocol pass on the interface vr1. port 1723 (it is an soekriss 5501 board)
In my logs on the 2.0 i see that they are dropped from the vr1 interface.The vr1 interface is not shown in my rules.debug file on the 2.0 machine but is on the 1.2.3 machine
On the working machine i have wan = "{ vr1 nr0}"
On the 2.0 i only have wan = "{ pptp0 }"So the pass rules as far as i understand for the GRE protocol do not get set for the vr1 interface where i see all the drops in my log file.
# allow PPTP client pass in on $WAN proto tcp from any to any port = 1723 flags S/SA modulate state label "allow PPTP client on WAN" pass in on $WAN proto gre from any to any keep state label "allow PPTP client on WAN"
Could it be that i need to set wan = "{ vr1 pptp1 }" ?
regards
Johan Hendriks -
I have exactly the same problem with 2.0RC3. It seems that MSS Clamping is somehow broken with PPTP in 2.0.
-
Well i got it working, but it wil not survive a reboot.
what i did was the following
I did go to diagnostics, then edit file.
I opened /tmp/rules.debug
i put in the actual interface between the brackets of the wan interface.
wan = { pptp1 } and i changed it to wan = { vr1 pptp1}
Then i did go to diagnostics and then command
In the command box i did do pfctl -f /tmp/rules.debugThen after hitting F5 in the browser which could not load any page, it all started to work, the pages were loaded.
To make sure it was this, i opened the traffic box and started to download a iso image from an ftp server, and the graph did flew up.So the reason, it is not working in my case is that the vr1 interface does drop the GRE packages.
And the pf rules actually do let them pass, but the interface is not added to the wan.regards,
Johan -
Works, thanks!
edit:
I would like to make this survive a reboot with this script:
sed 's/{ pptp0 }/{ vr1 pptp0 }/g' /tmp/rules.debug > /tmp/rules.debug.new mv /tmp/rules.debug.new /tmp/rules.debug pfctl -f /tmp/rules.debug
I put it under /usr/local/etc/rc.d/fix_pptp like suggested in this thread but it is not executed at startup. Also pfsense does not automatically establish the PPTP-connection at startup. (I don't have Dial-On-Demand enabled)
Regards,
Michael
edit2:
Due to the connection being to unstable (I even had the above script in a cronjob every minute) I have downgraded to 1.2.3.
-
Hi,
Noticed 2.0-final was released yesterday so I couldn't resist trying it out to see if the pptp issue was resolved. Did a clean install just now but alas, the situation remains unchanged.
After that, decided to give Sylhouette's fix a try (for me it was adding em1 to pptp0) and this fixed the problem for me on the 2.0-final release!
Can't say anything yet about stability; I'll leave this running for a while and if it's stable, I'll try to get it reboot-proof.
rgds,
A. -
I think a lot of people get bitten by this.
Every firewall solution i tryed, work with the pptp solution.
monowall, the older pfsense, smoothwall, and sonicwall are the once i tried.
All without problem.i need it to survive a reboot, we have a very poor power grid on one location, and power fails sometimes for more than 4 to 5 hours.
And this happens more than once per month.Well we should see what we can do.
For now i leave these boxes at 1.2.3 because it works and works well.regards.
Johan Hendriks -
Hi,
Agree that it's a bit peculiar that something like pptp would be broken. Maybe pptp isn't all that popular anymore, don't know.
Your fix remained stable since I applied it. It's most probably not that hard to make it reboot proof by using some <shellcmd>statements in the config.xml. However, I guess (but haven't verified) that pfctl gets called whenever the ruleset is changed which would basically undo the commands issued from the config.xml (and break the pptp again)
The only reboot / filter-reload proof way to handle this seems to be to modify one (or multiple) scripts in the /etc (or /etc/rc.d) directories. Wouldn't want to do that on a production system since I don't know enough about the details of the inner workings of pfsense to feel confident that such hacking wouldn't result in undesirable behavior..
So, I'm (unfortunately) staying with 1.2.3. as well. Hope somebody can pick this issue up and raise a bug against it so maybe it can get resolved in an upcoming release..
b.r.
A.</shellcmd> -
Well i made it survive a reboot also, but this is an UGLY way.
go to diagnostics then edit file
open the file/etc/inc/filter.inc
then around line 2221 you find the following.
# allow PPTP client pass in on \${$oc['descr']} proto tcp from any to any port = 1723 flags S/SA modulate state label "allow PPTP client on {$oc['descr']}" pass in on \${$oc['descr']} proto gre from any to any keep state label "allow PPTP client on {$oc['descr']}"
In my case my actual WAN interface is vr1 so i put a allow rule there on vr1.
Then it shows the following.#allow PPTP client pass in on \${$oc['descr']} proto tcp from any to any port = 1723 flags S/SA modulate state label "allow PPTP client on {$oc['descr']}" pass in on \${$oc['descr']} proto gre from any to any keep state label "allow PPTP client on {$oc['descr']}" pass in on vr1 proto gre from any to any keep state label "allow PPTP client on {$oc['descr']}"
This way it stays active after a reboot.
NOTE THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO DO IT..But it works this way ….
And it seems we are the only one who have this.
On the other hand, it is saver than to set the wan value to vr1 and pptp0, because this way only GRE is allowed and in the rest of the script wan is just pptp0 like before.It does not survive an upgrade however. :D

Does anyone know if the developers are working on this issue or even are aware of it? Should someone (me?) create a ticket in redmine?

I opened a thread on the mailling list.
When the 2.0 anouncement came, i repleyed on that by asking if this was resolved.
The following anwer came
That's not a general issue, and haven't heard that from anyone else,
not sure what you're seeing.I replied on that by explaining what i saw and how in my case i got that fixed.
I also reffered to this thread on the forum.Then to my surprise i almost got a ban from the mailing list, this was the answer i got on my relpy.
Stop here, you're hijacking a thread. Bump your own thread if you want
to continue.I replied again with a sorry that it was not my intention to hijajack a thread. ( i really was not )
And that i already had a threat on the mailling list about this issue and gave the link to the thread on the mailling list.Never heard anything after that.
I did not send an e-mail to the mailling list after that so maybe i am already banned :(, i hope not, because i like to help out sometimes, and i learn a lot about PFSense through the mailling list.So i really do not know the status.
regards,
