Need to allow access to DVR in the WAN network to LAN computers
-
are you using proxy in pfsense?
Without understanding how the client works it is hard to say what could be the problem. Maybe the client reports its IP to the dvr, and the dvr is trying to get to that 192.168.1 address by talking to its gateway vs the IP that is natted by pfsense to be on the dvr network?
Why are you putting pfsense downstream of your cable devices.
Why don't you put your pfsense in front of ALL your devices. Either put them all on the same network/vlan behind pfsense or put them on their own segments behind pfsense. But pfsense because now the gateway/router for all your devices.
Pfsense wan would be connected to your cable devices, I would even put them into bridge mode so pfsense wan gets actual public IPs.. Then all your devices should be behind pfsense.
-
Yes. But I am testing the DVR client in the server which connects without proxy. (I have Captive Portal to block direct access to the Internet but the server is allowed to pass)
-
Are you running any sort of ips, like snort or the other one? Again without understanding how the client works its hard to guess what the problem is, clearly your saying you can access it via http. But maybe the client uses multicast to stream shows or something? Multicast is doesn't really work over a layer 3 route or nat - its designed to be on the same layer 2 network.
You need to understand how the client works with the dvr to know what could be causing the problem. But from a normal networking point of view, pfsense nats your client talking to dvr to look like its coming from pfsense WAN IP that is on the dvr network.
Maybe it has something to do with the source port needing to be static or something? Since pfsense would be doing napt and changing the sourceport of the connection. There are lots of things that could break it from working correctly through a nat.
I still do not understand why your putting pfsense downstream? This is not a good setup. Pfsense should be at the edge and can route between your multiple segments if you need/want them.

I can install snort in the pfsense if you say that it could shed light to the problem. Maybe the client does use multicast to stream I cant tell.

The network Admin has it that way. I am just replacing the netgear by the pfsense to implement proxy and content filtering. The netgear was reconfigured to act as a Wireless AP.
Maybe I can convince the Net Admin to change the DVR to the internal network, then I will have to add a Port Forward to the DVR as they connect to it from the Internet by Cellular Apps. If multicast is a problem in this method then I will have a unsatisfied Client.
-
If your netgear was just being a AP then it wasn't doing any sort of nat.. And wasn't routing or anything it was just an AP.
No I would not suggest installing snort. What I would suggest you could do is sniff on pfsense lan and wan and try and make a connection to see what is going on.

It was converted to AP after pfsense installation, before pfsense it was the main Router/Firewall.

OK. There is a sniff package?
-
no package just under diagnostics, packet capture or fro ma prompt or ssh to it you can do tcpdump
-
I search and found this:
https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Sniffers,_Packet_Capture -
Run Diagnostic -> Packet Capture
Set Host to 192.168.0.99

Yeah your going to want too download that into say wireshark.. That is just not enough info to try and figure out what is going on. But I don't see any multicast. But if you limited to IP then you wouldn't see that.

Change .cap to .txt to be able to download.

Yeah your going to want too download that into say wireshark.. That is just not enough info to try and figure out what is going on. But I don't see any multicast. But if you limited to IP then you wouldn't see that.
I dont have wireshark and has never use it before. I guess I can download if it is free, but use it is other story.

https://www.wireshark.org/
Yes it is free (v2.2.1 was just released), and there are a lot of tutorials online as to how to use it. Everyone who is responsible for maintaining a routing firewall should be familiar with packet capture and analysis. There are several books on Wireshark and you can even get training:

Found some threads about RSTP but I think this are pertinent for devices in the internal network serving streaming to the external network or Internet:
https://www.mail-archive.com/support@pfsense.com/msg17749.html
https://www.mail-archive.com/support@pfsense.com/msg17758.htmlhttps://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Static_Port
http://www.selectedintelligence.com/post/46429611973/pfsense-rtsp-and-rtpBut my case is inverted the source and destination, as the RSTP device is in the external network and the clients are in the internal network.
If this is pertinent to my problem could you explain to me in basic terms.
-
But I don't see any multicast. But if you limited to IP then you wouldn't see that.
Why wouldn't you see it? It's still IP.
FWIW, I can see multicast on my network.
-
I tried a capture again but selecting UDP only with the device IP.
Tried against LAN and WAN interface but did not capture anything UDP related. So either the firewall is blocking all UDP to/from the device or there was in fact none.

^^^^
One thing I did recently was buy a cheap 5 port managed switch, which I configured for port mirroring. This allows me to insert the switch between 2 devices and use Wireshark to monitor the traffic. With that, you could insert the switch between the DVR & pfSense box to see what's there, with far more info than the pfSense packet capture provides. You can also watch in real time. -
"with far more info than the pfSense packet capture provides. "
How is that exactly.. Why would the packet capture in pfsense not see what that the switch would, when pfsense is 1/2 of that conversation anyway??
Clearly your getting a 401 error saying your NOT Authorized…
As to seeing if limiting to IP, I meant if he was limiting his sniff to a specific IP he would not see multicast traffic since it would be to the multicast address not his specific IP like 192.168.0.3 etc..
In the first part of the sniff your client ask for a manifest of something - and you get that just fine.
But then after that you just get 401.. Why have no idea, not sure what exactly your trying to do, other than dvr is giving you 401, and then your client gets something from the dvr. So there are 3 different conversations here all started by your client 192.168.0.3. First one he gets a manifest of something and that conversation is closed with your normal fin,ack , then he starts another conversation gets told 401, and he closes the conversation with RST, then he gets some other info profile.xml and then again he closes the conversation with RST
So that is a bad conversation, or is that a good conversation that works? Where is a good conversation where you start viewing video, since maybe that is sent in a different protocol?? Either way I wouldn't think you would want to see 401 errors.. Do you have to log in or something?? Do devices have to be authed before hand??

"with far more info than the pfSense packet capture provides. "
How is that exactly.. Why would the packet capture in pfsense not see what that the switch would, when pfsense is 1/2 of that conversation anyway??
Perhaps I should clarify. In an earlier post, packet capture as used in pfSense was listed. This does not show as much detail as you'd see in Wireshark. In order to see that level of detail, you have to download the cap file and then use something like Wireshark to view it.
I use Wireshark frequently and find that between the capture and display filters, it's a lot easier to isolate what you're looking for. You can also watch in real time and click on any frame to examine it's contents while the capture continues.
Back when I was using Linux for my firewall, I had Wireshark available on it. Since moving to pfSense, I bought a managed switch, which I can insert to monitor traffic.
