PfSense blocking nameservers on Virtualmin?
-
I didn't do a DNS query to the old router 192.168.1.180 on purpose.
I simply ssh'ed into the webserver and ran the dig command.
I guess the webserver is still using a default gateway of 192.168.1.180?Maybe my port forwards aren't right? Should I have the IP address in Destination IP in the port forwards?
Thank you for the reply.
LAN devices cannot SSH pfSense.I have two NATs and it's confusing.
Cable modem WAN IP from ISP xxx.xxx.xx.xx.
Cable modem WAN IP 192.168.0.2.
Cable modem LAN IP 192.168.0.50.
pfSense WAN DHCP 192.168.0.2.
pfSense LAN IP 192.168.1.155. -
Dude lets schedule a time for me to teamviewer in again.
And you got some typo here - cuse how does your cable modem have the same wan IP as pfsense?
Cable modem WAN IP 192.168.0.2.
Cable modem LAN IP 192.168.0.50.
pfSense WAN DHCP 192.168.0.2.Did you TURN off all the other forwards you had setup in your cable gateway? Next step is to yes double check your forwards, but need to verify that traffic actually gets to pfsense. Simple enough to do a sniff and send some traffic and verify that pfsense gets it.
Now we need to get your setup correct so you can forward stuff sure - but I highly suggest you Don't run your own DNS!!! And that your register let you point both your name servers to the same IP is beyond me!
-
Maybe I should have written:
Cable modem DMZ IP 192.168.0.2.Yes, I turned off all the other forwards in the cable modem (there was only one to 192.168.0.2).
All port forwards in pfSense are the same as my old router.
I am now working out the sniffing which I haven't used on pfSense before.

Works when old router is used, so you said pfSense won't stop DNS in my settings, so maybe the website needs some settings adjusted.
The TeamViewer ID is the same as yesterday.
The TeamViewer password is: 2046 today. -
"so maybe the website needs some settings adjusted."
No it would not be your website - but yes the box/vm it runs on. What is the gateway of that machine.. From our session the other day before I had to run to work. It was clear that pfsense was forwarding traffic to the IP you say is your dns .163 - but there were no answers from that machine.
And from the vm I was on, I could not query that local IP for dns.. But since I could ping it?? Not sure if was pinging a NAT or not.. Since the VM was on a 10.x address and your dns is on 192.168.1 address
As I asked you in the chat from the last tv session - show me a dns query from something on your network that can talk to your nameserver. Cuz pfsense is clearly forwarding the traffic too it. But there were no answers from it.
-
So, I disconnected the Switch and connected pfSense LAN direct to the server.
I used another Internet connection to try to bring up the website (default gateway 192.168.1.180 to old router settings) and nothing. The VoIP phone (default gateway 192.168.1.155 to pfSense LAN) also on the server didn't work.I connected pfSense LAN back into the Switch and the server's cable from the switch back into the server and my LAN was able to ping it and the VoIP phone (default gateway 192.168.1.155 to pfSense LAN) worked, but website (default gateway 192.168.1.180 to old router settings) still won't show via pfSense.

Dude I have been busy with RL last view days – this is NOT freaking rocket science.. When I was on your system your nameser, what you keep calling virtualmin was NOT answering a query from your own local network.. So nothing that we do on pfsense is going to fix that.
virtualmin is just some freaking software to help host websites for clients.. It dos NOT provide dns - your underlaying dns software would do that - I would assume BIND if running on linux
http://www.virtualmin.com/
Install your Operating SystemStart with a freshly installed, Grade A supported Operating System on your server or VPS. CentOS and Ubuntu LTS are popular OS's for hosting..
So lets forget that, lets forget using it to toubleshoot basic network and applications. Does your your OS your running virtualmin on point to pfsense to for a gateway for starters? Is Bind Running for another - where is a query from a box on the 192.168 local network of yours doing a query to your nameserver??
Also - I am more than happy to help.. But give me something on the actual network your nameserver is on - not some vm behind a NAT on some 10.x network.
Lets schedule a time tmrw maybe? I am home all day and happy to teamviewer in and get this working.. But needs some basics to work.. So whatever OS we are going to use for TV - the mouse has to work.. Lets not do a vm running on a vm, running on some other vm software under a VM ;)
Do you not have a hard machine on the same network as your pfsense lan, and your nameserver - There should be no problem with it being linux based – but I think the problem is the nested vms I believe you were using. And whatever OS your virtualmin is runing on we are going to need access to that - be it ssh, be it remote desktop, but it another TV session - but I am not going to troubleshoot virtualmin in this situation since it has NOTHING to do with the actual problem,.

Hi, yes, CentOS Linux 6.4 is using BIND.
I checked CentOS and the network configuration is:
Address: 192.168.1.163.
Netmask: 255.255.255.0.
Gateway: 192.168.1.155.
DNS: 192.168.180.I changed the DNS to 8.8.8.8.
So yes, CentOS is pointing automatically to pfSense's LAN 192.168.1.155.
Happy for some online work. I have an updated TV, so that might help with the mouse click problem, which was on a real machine. (only the 2nd time I went to a VM to try and fix the mouse click problem, which it did (but caused the network issue on 10.x.x.x)).
I'm online in about 30 minutes.
-
So why would a dns server running bind not point to itself for dns? Is bind not allow recursive? Why would you not point it to pfsense if that is the case - how are you going to resolve your on local domain pointing to 8.8.8.8?
So can you query your bind server and resolve your domain now? Because I couldn't last time I was on your network. So lets see your query - because if that works then it will work from the outside since pfsense port forwards are setup, and we saw the traffic being sent to your .163 address via the sniff on pfsense lan remember.
-
I'm getting a bit confused with all the settings now with pfSense router and Proxmox server with Virtualmin (and Virtualmin running off CentOS (CentOS then having its own DNS settings).
So I changed the CentOS DNS from 192.168.1.180 to 8.8.8.8 and now to 192.168.1.155.
Website still not showing.

ARGGH dude what that box uses for dns has NOTHING to do with your issue.
Your running BIND as you stated, this hosts up your domain.tld, this is not answering a simple query from computer on the same network as it.
Say 192.168.1.162 – so how does pfsense have anything to do with it?
So my local domain is local.lan -- if I ask my dns server for a simple A record, lets call it my printer I call brother.local.lan
C:>nslookup
Default Server: pfsense.local.lan
Address: 192.168.1.253brother.local.lan
Server: pfsense.local.lan
Address: 192.168.1.253Name: brother.local.lan
Address: 192.168.2.50See how I get a response.. So on your network.. Do a simple nslookup for a record that should be there say www.yourdomain.tld
Do you get a response?? If NOT then nothing you do on pfsense or the rest of your network is going to fix that.. That is a problem with BIND running on your host, is it even running? Have you looked in its log? Does this centos box have a local host firewall? etc.. etc..
You need to fix that before we have to worry about people on the internet being able to resolve www.yourdomain.tld.
See attached - I am on my workstation on the 192.168.1.0/24 network, my dns (pfsense in this case) has a record for all my local devices in the local.lan domain. If I query it for a record - it answers. Lets see this from your workstation doing a query to your .163 server running bind. You can change the host you query via server command in nslookup. So make sure you change server to your .163 address and do a query for records you created in yourdomain
Let us see these queries!! Then if not working from the internet I will be happy to TV in again and take a look at your forwards. But they were working last time I was in.
If your using dig, you can do same sort of command with @serverIP fqdn

ARRRGGHHHH!!!!!
Query your freaking bind server and does it return an answer??
How hard is that to understanding – I have stated like a million times already. You query google and pfsense.. WTF?? From the DNS box itself even??
Neither of those are going to work - because your BIND server is Not Answering!!
dig @192.168.1.163 www.sk8parks.org.au
or nslookup
server 192.168.1.163
www.sk8parks.org.auIf your BIND server does not respond, since that is where you point to for this sk8parks.org.au then no other dns server on the planet is going to resolve sk8parks.org.au.. And that has nothing to do with a port forwarding or pfsense.

And what is your bind config?
Because I can understand why you would change out the IP address of your record, but that stays your Nameserver is 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain?
And why was I not able to query it when I was teamviewered in and on your windows box. Does your bind config not allow answer to network outside of 192.168.1.0/24?
Please post your bind config.
should be named.conf.

Ok, here's the BIND configuration on the webserver.

192.168.1.163# lsof -ni tcp:53 COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME named 1300 named 20u IPv6 9350 0t0 TCP *:domain (LISTEN) named 1300 named 21u IPv4 9355 0t0 TCP 127.0.0.1:domain (LISTEN) named 1300 named 25u IPv4 10525 0t0 TCP 192.168.1.163:domain (LISTEN) 192.168.1.163# netstat -nat | grep :53 tcp 0 0 192.168.1.163:53 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:53 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 :::53 :::* LISTEN 192.168.1.120# lsof -ni tcp:53 192.168.1.120# netstat -nat | grep :53If I understand the results, then my LAN computer 192.168.1.120 can't get through pfSense 192.168.1.155 to the webserver 192.168.1.163's DNS port 53.
pfSense does have port 53 forwarded to 192.168.1.163.
I didn't know the Windows OS was on a different network…this must have happened by default with the Virtual Machine's bridge setting.
I am trying to fix this. -
And do you have a firewall running on this server.. You must because that explains the problem. Windows was pinging the IP, so should of worked unless firewall on the .163 box blocking?
As to .120 can't get through - what??? You queried and got an answer.. And .120 does not NOT go through pfsense to get to .163 – they are on the same segment, pfsense is only used for on and off that 192.168.1.0/24 segment - boxes talking to each other on that network could give a shit if pfsense was even on.
Lets be clear you are changing out domain.tld for your actual domain?
And you think you did what with that netstat and lsof command? That has Nothing to do with what pfsense is or isn't doing, your just showing if that box is listening on tcp 53.. What about UDP, most queries use UDP not TCP.. tcp would be used for zone transfers and large queries.
And once you get queries working, you have to fix your zone file - you can not list localhost.localdomain as your NS with loopback as the IP and expect the zone to work ;)
Can you run
iptables --list
On the centos box, the .163 so we can see the firewall rules on it. Prob have to be root to run it.
example
root@ubuntu:/# iptables --list
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
sshguard all -- anywhere anywhereChain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destinationChain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destinationChain sshguard (1 references)
target prot opt source destination
root@ubuntu:/# -
There might be a default firewall running on the webserver, however before pfSense was installed, the website showed, so the only difference is pfSense added, not turning on (or off) any firewall on the webserver.
Windows was on the wrong network, so that was another issue…I've fixed that now so Windows is on the same network.
Yes, I'm changing the real website with domain.tld.
Here's the iptables --list from the webserver 192.168.1.163
# iptables --list Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpt:ftp-data ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpt:ftp ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpt:domain ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:dnp ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ndmp ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:https ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:http ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:imaps ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:imap ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:pop3s ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:pop3 ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ftp-data ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ftp ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:domain ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:submission ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:smtp ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ssh ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT icmp -- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:ssh REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-host-prohibited Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-host-prohibited Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination -
So I researched and the IP table listed above seems to indicate that DNS packets on port 53 are not blocked.
This would indicate pfSense blocking then I think? -
well unless you changed something again pfsense was forwarding dns to your .163 box - but no answers were coming back..
What version of bind are you running? I don't see any allow statement for queries
I see this
zone "domain.tld" {
type master;
file "/var/named/domain.tld.hosts";
allow-transfer {
127.0.0.1;
localnets;
};
};But there should be a allow query statement like this
allow-query {
any;
};Or there should be an ACL, setup - and the fact that you allow recursion - if you do get it working your dns will be used in an attack fairly quickly..
Please email with a time to TV back in and we will put this to bed

I haven't changed anything that would effect DNS packets through pfSense.
The BIND DNS Server is BIND version 9.8.2.
I'm not sure why there's no allow statement for queries, as this is the default setup the server sets up and works without pfSense.
It seems the default settings setup recursion, which is a flaw, as I certainly don't want to be an DDOS attacker or an unwilling victim of DDOS attacks.
The recursion will need to be switched off.
