SOLVED: VIP reachable from OPT1 but not from LAN via OPT1-adress
-
Hi there,
I'm currently setting up a new firewall with pfsense to replace the old one.
I have the following setup:
WAN –---------|
|-----------------LAN
OPT1----------fxp0 = LAN = 10.0.0.1
ste0 = WAN = 10.0.10.10, Gateway 10.0.10.1
ste1 = OPT1 = 10.0.20.10The VIP is 10.0.20.20 which is nated to 10.0.0.254, where a webserver is running on port 80.
If I'm doing "telnet 10.0.20.20 80" on a host within the OPT1 net it's getting a connection to the webserver. If I'm doing "telnet 10.0.0.254" from a host within LAN I also get a connection.
The problem starts when I try to connect from LAN to 10.0.20.20 since no data reaches the host behind 10.0.20.20. I ran wireshark on it and in this case no data was received at all.NAT:
OPT1 TCP 80(HTTP) 10.0.0.254(ext. 10.0.20.20) 80(HTTP)Firewall rules:
LAN
Pass * Lan net * * * *WAN
Block * RFC1918 networks * * * *OPT1
Pass TCP * * 10.0.0.254 80(HTTP) *One more weird thing is, that if I ty to connect from LAN via the VIP, the firewall logs that the access was permitted and I can't find any log (currently logging for alle rules is enabled), which says, that the answer was blocked. Even though wireshark on 10.0.0.254 doesn't log any incoming or outgoing data from or to 10.0.20.10.
From my point of view my setup should be correct. Maybe I think wrong, but that was the idea:
"telnet 10.0.20.20 80" from 10.0.0.x:
10.0.0.x -> 10.0.20.10 -> 10.0.20.20 -(dnat)-> 10.0.0.254 -(snat)-> 10.0.20.20 -> 10.0.20.10 -> 10.0.0.x (happy)Since everything is happening on OPT1-adresses the WAN-Interface shouldn't be involved at all (I think of wrong routing).
One more thing I realized was, that a traceroute from pfsense to the VIP fails.
Maybe one of you can tell me, how I can get this done. If you need more information, just ask.
Greetings,

Here's the routing table
default 10.0.10.1 UGS 0 1 1500 ste0
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 8 16384 lo0
10.0.0 link#5 UC 0 1 1500 fxp0
10.0.0.3 00:04:76:9e:83:6a UHLW 1 2985 1500 fxp0 1200
10.0.20 link#2 UC 0 11 1500 ste1
10.0.20.20 link#2 UHLW 1 0 1500 ste1
10.0.10.0/24 link#1 UC 0 0 1500 ste0
10.0.10.1 00:1c:58:ee:dd:44 UHLW 2 10 1500 ste0 1168And I found the following within "states" when trying to connect from LAN via telnet to the VIP:
tcp 10.0.20.20:80 <- 10.0.0.3:51331 CLOSED:SYN_SENT
tcp 10.0.0.3:51331 -> 10.0.20.20:80 SYN_SENT:CLOSED10.0.0.3 is the client I'm doing the connect from.
Solution: After disabling "Disable NAT Reflection" under "System -> Advanced" it finally worked :D
