DROP most LAN to LAN
-
gotcha.
not that it makes a diff, but all guests are ubuntu (with the debian host).
i could use ufw on the guests, but I really didn't wanna mess with any guest firewalling rules... iptables ALLOWs everything and UFW is not even installed.
-
You could always do this with vlans but then you need a layer 3 switch.. Create a "LAN" for each machine. Then you could do all kinds of subnet magic..
-
@chpalmer Don't think a layer 3 switch is possible with a single physical machine and two NICs, but only one uplink (the other is disconnected)
proxmox does have VLANs though, but I think it would complicate things if the VLANs are not setup in pfsense... might have to go the client firewall way
-
You don't need a L3 switch to do vlans... All you need is L2 smart switch..
But if you don't want clients talking to each other - then you could do something with private vlans.. This would be done on your switch.. Not pfsense.
How many clients do you have?

Thanks! That is good to know. I don't do VLANs at all so Im not real up to standard there. But he did mention that there were a few exceptions with machines communicating with each other..
with a couple of obvious and one custom exception.
Im thinking a firewall rule or two for these.
-
Well if he wants some exceptions then sure vlans would be the way to do it sure.
-
there are less than 15 LAN clients, between containers and VMs...
-
Still if what your wanting to do is segment your different clients so client X and Y can not talk to A and B, then yeah you put x and y in vlan 10, and a and b in in vlan 20, and then firewall between them with pfsense.
I sure and the F not create 15 different vlans ;)

There are some switches that can isolate ports so they can only talk to an uplink port. My TP-Link TL-SG105E (Johnpoz's favourite) will do that. TP-Link calls it a Multi-Tenant Unit VLAN.
-
These are VMs/Containers. Any isolation would have to be done in the vswitch. Or perhaps in the proxmox firewall.
