      No VPN here just trying to tweak my Pfsense box as a starting point. Lock things down better.

        Also Do you have any rules under firewal/rules/wan?

        Yeeeepppp is actually the box for that.

        to your previous question: Also Do you have any rules under firewal/rules/wan?

        • I don't like to load the WAN side with rules, it's like drilling a hole in a sieve, pfSense block all unsolicited traffic on the WAN, so I have more floating rules

          I have a WAN rule called - Easy Rule: Passed from Firewall log view - says it was created by Easy Rule .

          Trying to figure out what it is -
          Protocol: IPv4 TCP
          Source: ISP IP addres
          Destination: 104.25.242.31
          Port: 80(HTTP)

          Destination IP is Carrier: cloudflare

          Confused?

            Yes it is, :-).
            did you add it this? with this? (https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/firewall/adding-rules-with-easyrule.html)

              It has a date from almost a year ago. Could have as I think that is when I was looking at snort but was having all sorts of issues so I disabled it all.

              So I probably don't need that rule - I won't do anything with it now but remove it later today.

                Do you use squidguard on your system? That was the next thing I was going to implement.

                  I use HA proxy I think for my purposes more appropriate, Squid is problematic among MITM, so SquidGuard doesn't work for me either
                  But I strongly recommend installing Suricata/Snort and pfblockerNG-devel

                    Delete the rule for said http 80 port because it is unnecessary!
                    I didn’t investigate all the way through, but it points to a Cloudflare CDN

                      Yeah snort and pfblocker are on my list. I played with these a while back but it broke many things and haven't got back to them.

                        Before you jumping into these IPS / IDS, DNSBL, etc. things, I highly recommend Bill Meeks (alias: bmeeks) posts Snort / ÍSuricata and BBcan177 on the topic of pfblockerng
