Traffic logs

Bunz

I just set up a WAP filtering bridge using 1.0-beta1 and all seems to be working.

ADSL(192.168.5.1) <–> pfsense, fxp0(192.168.5.254) -- pfsense, ath0 (192.168.5.254) <--> wifi pcs

My question is to do with traffic log constantly logging

1. 457076 rule 36/0(match): block in on fxp0: 192.168.5.254 > 0.0.0.0: pfsync 676
000059 rule 36/0(match): block in on bridge0: 192.168.5.254 > 0.0.0.0: pfsync 676

2. 000352 rule 36/0(match): block in on fxp0: 192.168.5.254 > 0.0.0.0: pfsync 228
000056 rule 36/0(match): block in on bridge0: 192.168.5.254 > 0.0.0.0: pfsync 228

Why?

Also rules on WAN work fine, I don't have any rules on LAN except to allow DHCP back to WAN but everything works anyway. I can ssh or connect to 80 without any problem. Are there implied rules on the LAN?

What version are you running? This is fixed in the latest prebeta2 version.

I understand from previous threads that the filtering bridge blocks everything unless there's a rule.

I don't see this though. WAN blocks everything by default, LAN allows everything by defualt.

If I set BLOCK rule on LAN

Proto Source Port Destination Port Gateway Description
X * * * * * * block all

I can stilll connect to 80 and ssh. there doesn't seem to be any filtering on LAN

System -> Advanced -> Enable Filtering Bridge

There is an anti logout rule at lan (so you don't shut down access to the webgui accidently). You can disable that at system>advanced as well.
