Policy Server?? Work VPN
-
I'm not sure this is the correct area. I work from home and use Cisco AnyConnect. It has the VPN tunnel but also has a policy server it needs to "see" in order to verify I am legit and can have access on the network. Until this policy server connection completes I have the yellow triangle with the ! over my network connection icon. I put this here guessing I need something on my firewall to stop this.
In System Logs, I see my PC communicating with pfSense as if it is the policy server but its not so it fails. What this causes is the need for me to disconnect and reconnect my VPN until it realizes my policy server is on the VPN and not local. I do this every morning and want to find a way to stop it. At the moment I have the PC on my guest network which should only have access to the internet and nothing on the internal network but it has to still see the gateway address. This helps some but is not the fix. Any ideas.
Here is what I see in the logs over and over.

I know this is old, but I was seeing the EXACT same issue.
The cause was Verizon Broadband Manager. It seems to send a POST to the default gateway every few seconds. After I removed the software, the log entries stopped.
