Use pfsense's webserver for intranet..
-
Hi,
How can I use pfSense's webserver for some simple intranet webpages…?
I.e. where do I place the page files and how do I address them..?
Thanks for info on this

The server that runs the webgui is not meant for this. All settings are tuned to just run the webgui. It's not a good idea to abuse it.

Thanks for the advice hoba.
And I assume that it is not a good idea to install apache ;-) Though my only option is to set up a separate *x box because I don't want to use M$ IIS.
My pfsense box has two LAN nics, one at 192.168.33.1/23 and the other at 192.168.133.1/23. Say I set up a webserver box called 'intranet.local' at 192.168.33.10. Then I need to set up dns and routing to this box so I can access it from both lans.
How to I add the dns entries and the routing from the 192.168.133 lan to 192.168.33.10? Sorry but I'm a complete novice to firewalls and knowing this as a point of departure will help me understand the basics better.
well, thanks anyway - pfsense is really a great piece of software

pfSense can do natreflection to make your forwarded services available by their public IP for the internal clients. Just enable it at system>advanced (very bottom of the page). Other option is to setup a split dns (resolving the internal IP of your server for the clients). This has to be done at the DNS-Server that your client use. In case it'S the DNS-forwarder of the pfsense visit services>dns-forwarder and add static mappings to make it resolve the internal IP for your servers.
