Questions about semi transparant firewall.
-
Hi,
I am currently configuring my directadmin server.
I want to place a pfense firewall in front of my directadmin server. This in semi transparant mode.
My directadmin has 2 network ports.One will have an internet adress: 81.x.x.x and the other will be a lan address 192.168.1.2.
What I want to accomplish is that my DMZ zone is transparant so my directadmin has an internet address (Required for directadmin).
I then want to use a lan network with natting to connect to other servers which doesn't require direct internet address and to do management (Will vpn into the lan to do management)
But what I don't really understand is the following:- Does the pfsense box require an ipv4 address? If yes can it be the same as the directadmin server or does it require a seperate ip address.
- Is semi transparant even possible? So to have transparant DMZ interface and another NAT based lan interface?
Found this guide but the test ip adresses (LAN) gets me confused.
