        @JeGr said in Firewall directions:

        allow DNS/NTP from opt1_net

        It's either or? Or should I allow both of them UDP/53, UDP/123?

          i think it was just an example,
          port 53 is for DNS (domain name system) pretty much mandatory if you want to resolv dns and surf the web
          port 123 is for NTP (Network time protocol) useful but not mandatory, it's needed to sync the clock
          that said the minimum port to be able to surf the web are udp/tcp 53 for dns tcp 80 for http and tcp 443 for https

            Screen Shot 2019-11-26 at 18.48.53.png

            What about the VPN Group shown in the screenshot? I think that adding "Allow PCS_VLAN to OpenVPN(1194)" won't be enough, since the VPN clients' gateways are in the range of RFC1918 - 10.x.x.x.

            What rule(s) exactly should I add in order for this VLAN to be: isolated from other interfaces, have internet access and connect to the internet via the VPN_Group (NO_WAN_EGRESS)?

              that rule probably won't work,
              you just need to put it before the block

                Put what rule? I'm already confused here man...you'd have to be more specific. Sorry :)

                    @kiokoman I thought that's what you meant but wouldn't that make the blocking rule useless, since we allow everything else here? See @JeGr answer above. Or perhaps that's not the case because it's setup to use the VPN gateway instead of the default one?

                    The more I ask, the more I get confused which has never happened to me before in my life LOL...gotta read the pfSense book a little, when having the chance haha...

                      after 9 hours of work you should understand that my brain is telling me bs now 😑
                      you are right i make a mistake, i was not seeing the tab and i was confused

                      but you probably need a new rule that permit traffic from PCS_VLAN net with destinaton OpenVPN net before the block
                      but right now, i confess i'm tired, maybe try and tell us if it work or not
