Firewall is trying to access wpad.dat on another system.
-
We have a web hosting system from a vendor and for some unknown reason it looks like the firewall is doing a wget on a file called wpad.dat from the hosting system. I believe this has something to do with the proxy, but I'm not running a proxy on my firewall. This is causing our computers to be locked out of our web hosting system, because it thinks this is a security issue. Is there any was to tell the firewall not to try and access this file. I may be completely off on this I'm a novice when it comes to pfsense.

@wtowens207 A client might be asking for that... I am not aware of anything in pfsense that would be looking to download the wpad.dat file.. What packages do you have installed?

So you have a proxy internally? It could be trying to download that from your host, and yeah if your host says hey this source IP is bad, block it - then sure all your connections from pfsense would be blocked, ie all clients behind it, etc.
Or it could just be some other client behind pfsense trying to download that..
