Weird Firewall Issue
-
I currently run a pfSense box for primary routing/vpn/etc. I am trying to connect via another subnet 172.31.16.0/24 to the primary 192.168.1.0/24 network. For some reason i get the following ipfw log:
pf: 1. 044981 rule 109/0(match): block in on vr0: (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 44283, offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 44) 192.168.1.254.80 > 172.31.16.1.3322: S, cksum 0x5bd6 (correct), 325161313:325161313(0) ack 3541639855 win 5840 <mss 1160="">the really weird thing is, if i ping the host before trying to connect to the webserver @ 192.168.1.254, the packets go through just fine. The packets continue to pass until timeout occurs, which they are then dropped again, until you ping the host first.
This occurs with or without the follwing IPFW rule applied

DOH!
Bypass firewall rules for traffic on the same interface … check this box.. all is good
