Ah, good result!

If you're asking can you run pfSense as a VM in proxmox then the answer is yes. But there are some caveats! It's a more complex setup to be sure the traffic is all passing through the VM. If you have to reboot proxmox you lose your router/firewall. There are lots of users doing exactly that though.

I would guess it's because you are policy routing traffic from LAN clients to a specific gateway. So that works even when the firewall has no default route.

@Pablomdli said in OpenVPN site to site not working both ways:

The only weird things is that it gives the ip 10.0.8.0 to de office#2 openvpn client

So I'd suspect, that you stated this IP in the CSO.
You should enter an IP out of the tunnel network there, but it have to be one from the second upwards.

@pdwalkerhk said in NAT Reflection on a multiwan system - need help debugging my problem getting it to work.:

is there any way to debug why the traffic from the local lan to the public ip of the port forwarded ports is not going through?

Sniff the traffic with the packet capture tool on the LAN.

does that reflection firewall rule look correct for my situation?

I would expect it to work.

the default route for the LAN traffic is a gateway group composed of the 4 lan connections. Could this be causing a problem, preventing the nat reflection from working?

You may mean an interface group. This is not a problem, however, ensure that a rule on LAN allows the traffic from LAN IP to LAN destination IP.
The rule must not be a policy routing rule (gateway (group) stated)!

could I use the / Diagnostics / Packet Capture / somehow to find out what is or is not happening?

Yes. You should see packets from the source IP to the public going to pfSense and packets leaving with source = LAN IP and local destination IP.

@johnpoz said in Port Forward does not work..:

But completely agree with you - in my multiple statements that nat reflection is an abomination

That's the way I know you. 😊

As I mentioned, I didn't read all posts and I missed the reason for doing NAT reflection.

@root1ng said in Can someone explain to me how i can do this ?:

the network card of the motherboard is disabled in the bios

Most of us who use Proxmox reserve that port for Proxmox...makes it a lot easy, and once you passthrough the PCIe NIC in your setup, Proxmox won't have a gateway. Please visit here: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/recipes/virtualize-proxmox-ve.html

@Gertjan said in How do I route outgoing email over WireGuard Tunnel?:

Of course I use have DANE available and set up :

I just noticed I had to recreate the TLSA records, something with Let's Encrypt must have changed. I hope I am good now for some time...

@stephenw10 I guess there is VLAN configured because I didn't need to set it on the pfsense

@erick51 You can. But it takes experience and knowledge.

And you need hardware with dual Xeon proc. to cope.

@steveits Done, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. :)

Yeah, I reviewed it with the support agent and we agreed it was an issue that required further testing of the hardware.

Hello,

Just to update about the crashs: they didn't happen again.
Also, I've being using Suricata 6.0.3 release since than, and no netmap issues 😸

So, I changed my RAM, and tested the old ones:
24H of MemTest86+ and at least 5hrs of GoldMemory (not the best tests, but still), resulted in not a single red flag for them (tested individually), AND I'm using them on other Win machines withouth BSOD or anything in the logs.

I already saw RAM tests failing to detect problems, so based on what you explained, I'm assuming that both 1 - the issue with Suricata's Multithreading ring access, and 2 - darkstat, were hitting some intermittent problem, that I could not with tests and other OS.

Anyway, thank you for helping me out solving this. Really appreciate @stephenw10 and @bmeeks !

@mhmz

does it make any sense sitting on proxy server with deactivated aes-ni ?

@cfbcfb said in Wan not coming up, fresh install.:

Connected to the router via wifi and my phone, got a "this network wants you to sign in" and when I clicked that, it brought up the comcast login

That's your OS / brower playing the captive portal detection mode !
That means your WAN is using a RFC1918 IP, and when you start your bowser it hits the GUI web server of the modem, because it's router part is redirecting the browser requests to it's internal Web GUI, where you have to login.

What about playing with these option on the WAN interface :
