*Resolved*iPads Won't Download Random Things
-
I have been running pfSense on my home network for a few days now, and I can't seem to be able to download media from any of the three iPads in the house. I can only watch certain YouTube videos, and I can't download any media from iTunes. (Music, TV Shows, etc.) Here's the wierd part, I can download/watch aforementioned media on my PC's on the WiFi or wired LAN, or my iPhone. I'm wondering what could have caused this. Here is my network Setup:
(DSL ModemIn Transparent Bridge Mode)–->{WAN}(pfSense Connected with PPPoE with WAN and LAN ports){LAN}---> (5 Port Switch)--->(WiFi Access Point and other LAN devices)
The access point is a Netgear WNDR3700 (AKA: N600)
The pfSense box is an old AMD Dell desktop with the onboard Realtek NIC, and a $15 Startech NIC (I plan on upgrading to a Intel dual port server NIC soon)Any ideas as to why this is happening? Thanks!

Startech works well?

Actually - I think I might know what is happening there. Maybe.
Maybe under Services > Proxy Server:
Check mark on all these things:
-
Bypass proxy for Private Address
-
Disable X-Forward
-
Disable VIA
-
Suppress Squid Version
Then reboot pfsense and try your apple devices again.
I think the sites are seeing "proxy" in the traffic and don't like it.
This will probably stop that from happening. -

If you are not running squid proxy, thats not the problem in which case my suggestion is useless.
Are the Apple devices on the same subnet as everything else? Are the Apple devices the only thing on that AP? Do you have any draconian firewall rules? Are you behind double NAT?

Well, oddly enough, I installed Squid, did those settings, rebooted, and It worked…. So thanks!

Haha! Thanks soooo much! My first thread on the forum somebody answers almost instantly! :)
I am very interested in networking and thought I would get my foot in the door, thinking about going to college for something like this (I'm only 15 xD ) Not to mention I had a very angry sister who couldn't watch YouTube on her iPad… :P
Thanks again,

15? Well - Then I guess its good thing I didn't tell any bad jokes…
I'm glad its working well. You can learn alot playing with pfsense.
Even more if you have a friend also using it. Can practice setting up VPN clients and routes and all sorts of other more corporate stuff.

I already have a VPN on my WHS running (But am looking forward to trying it on pfSense). And if you did tell bad jokes, I've probably heard them before… xD
