      Hello!
      I have a remote freeradius in my network and I want to connect cp to it.Can any one sniff usernames and passwords between cp and remote freeradius in my network?

        Yes u can. But if you use MSCHAPv2 with a certificate its only possible to MITM when the end device accepts the non legit server certificate.

          Normally ™, your portal interface would be a dedicated interface, something like OPT1, and your private Radius server would be on your LAN.
          Mode paranoid: give your radius server another private interface, OPT2 - and use a crossed Ethernet cable - you'll be fine  ;)

          Needless to say that mixing private servers and "public clients" on the same network segment is NOT a smart thing to do ….

          No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
          Edit : and where are the logs ??

              Well, ….

              Now you told that everything is running on the same server, I guess your fine.
              Everything will be a as safe as is your "virtualbox".
              Not that I know anything about vitalization. I'm old-fashioned : router (pfSEnse) in a box, servers are in their own boxes, all of them are physical boxes. With wires and so in between them ;)
