Accessing modem from inside firewall

johnpoz

Dude I think he is just trolling nobody can be this freaking dense… Its just not possible.. It's been stated over and over again.. I think his just thinks its funny to see how long we will continue to try and help him..

balubeto

The ptt's solution works in part because I can access the router but, when I disconnect and connect the PPPoE service through the Status –-> Interfaces window, the Internet does no more work:

While the johnpoz's solution (logically disabling the Modem_access interface) does not work because I can not access my router:

In addition, some of you wanted to know the interfaces and the bridges that I have:

So, how do I solve my problem?

Thanks

ARrrgghhh I am done with this thread - you clearly are freaking trolling.. Who told you to turn off your PPPoe? Connection.. And why and the F are you bridging all your interfaces… Told you not to do that!!! WTF dude???

Nobody can be this freaking DENSE.. .Clearly your just trolling hope you having fun... Im out..

Even if you wanted to bridge some interfaces... Nobody can be this freaking stupid... Really!!!

How would this freaking work dude?? Come on!!! If you just don't have clue one on what a mask is or what IPs are then say so.. Once again you have 10/8 as a dest and on your lan side?? And you put a 192.168.1. on your modem_access (wan)?? What???

In your image, how come your pfSense has created the two automatic rules where the 10.0.0.0/8 address also appears in the Source? To me this address does not appear.

Why?

I'm still waiting for a solution to this old problem.

Thanks

Might be time to try posting to the forum for your native language.

balubeto

I can not understand why to johnpoz, the automatic rules are:

whereas to me, they are:

Where am I wrong?

Thanks

johnpoz

Dude that is what you posted.. That you had 10/8 on you automatic rules

What can you not understand??? WTF really?? You posted this a while back..

So did you fix that now from your current post.. We have went over this and over this and over this..

Its not freaking rocket science… If its not working then you have the IPs wrong, or mask wrong or whatever.. Lets go over this basic concept yet again!!!

Device you want to get to is 10.0.0.1/??? What is the mask on this?? Your using 8, ok that should work even if the other guy had different if your using 10.0.0.2... But from your one posting your listing your 10.0.0.1 address so I can not make out WTF your doing!!!! See pic attached where you post up with address of 10.0.0.1 on pfsense..

Right from the help doc

https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Accessing_modem_from_inside_firewall
Configure a new Interface

A PPPoE WAN is actually assigned to a virtual PPPoE adapter, not the physical port.

Under Interfaces > (assign), create a new OPT interface, and assign it to the physical network card that is on WAN. For example, if the WAN on the assignment page is "PPPOE0(re2)", choose re2, and Save the changes.

Go to Interfaces > (new OPT interface), and Enable the interface. Give it an IP address in the same subnet as the modem, such as 192.168.1.5/24. Do not set a gateway. Rename the interface to ModemAccess or a similar useful name.

So you have PPPoE interface right?????? And its on what physical interface on your pfsense box Re2, em0, eth1, what??? Post up a screen shot of your interfaces!!

If your using PPPoE then you DO NOT USE A VIP!!! you make sure you have an interface assigned to your physical wan interface.. Re2 if that is your wan.. You then give it an IP and mask in the network your modem devices is on.. if your modem is 10.0.0.1, you really should know what the mask is? But if you want to use /8 ok on this opt interface you created that is using re2 if you do not have a WAN interface already assigned to this?? POST UP YOUR INTERFACES!!!

How are you even sure this modem interface is 10.0.0.1??? What if you just turn the physical interface that is connected to this modem to dhcp.. Does the physical interface get an IP??

@johnpoz:

POST UP YOUR INTERFACES!!!

Now you get screenshot all over again ;D 8)

Assigned the underlying WAN interface used for PPPoE and setting up a GW pointing to the modem IP (which of course needs to be on a separate subnet) there takes about 2 minutes. Works for me everywhere. Worked with 2.2.x, still works exactly the same with 2.3.x. It does NOT take 1/4 year to get working. No messing with hybrid NAT and whatever nonsense.

Solution:

>>> Go hire someone who can follow simple instructions, ugh. <<<

(Note: above above won't work if you try to access the modem from WAN via port forward. Given the topic's subject here, I do NOT think that's what the OP is trying to do, nor what 99.999% of other users are trying to do. All they want is a simple access from LAN to the modem. Gimme a break with hybrid NATs.)

Firewall: 192.168.1.1/24
VDSL2 router: 10.0.0.1/8

Now, my current configuration is:

When I type the 10.0.0.1 address in the browser, the firewall Login window appears instead of that of the router.

Where did I go wrong?

Dude really?????????

Your modem is 10.0.0.1 that your trying to get to.. So you set pfsense IP to 10.0.0.1 – how and the F would that work?? Come on dude!!

And your still showing 10/8 on the LAN side...

I am just done - nobody on the planet can be this freaking DENSE!!!

Why are you setting your "modem access" interface on em2??? How and the F would that work - come on!!

Sorry but I'm following the guide https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Accessing_modem_from_inside_firewall.

So your trying to access an IP 10.0.0.1, so you give pfsense the SAME address 10.0.0.1 - how would that work??? Really… You need to set this to 10.0.0.2

doktornotor

ZOMG.

1/ You cannot have the same IP on the modem and on pfSense.
2/ You do NOT need a frickin' /8 for point-to-point link!!!

If it still does not work, forget the hybrid NAT crap, switch it to automatic and set up a gateway as noted above.

I understood the trick: it is only necessary to configure the Modem_access interface like this:

So your working now???

@johnpoz:

So your working now???

Finally, everything works perfectly.

So if you can, you may correct the guide https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Accessing_modem_from_inside_firewall .

Thanks again

Correct the guide how.. There is nothing wrong with it.
