Re: [pfSense] polling pfsense status for a combined dashboard

2015-01-27 Thread Aaron C. de Bruyn
Forget a dashboard for the moment. A decent API would go a long ways for writing automation tools. I've already recommended to the opnsense guys that they add on an API. If I only knew a bit more about packaging, I'd make my own fork with the tools. ;) -A On Tue, Jan 27, 2015 at 11:15 AM, Mos

I think what he means is to set up an isolated management VLAN, then you VPN into your pfSense box and get access to the management VLAN. -A On Mon, Dec 8, 2014 at 11:10 AM, Richard Lussier wrote: > Hi Chris, > > Do you mean to redirect the vpn to the management vlan ? > > Thank you > > Richard

In most of my client networks, there is an internal exchange server and an external spam filter / mail gateway. I use floating rules to allow all SMTP traffic to the spam filter, and all SMTP traffic to the Exchange servers, then I block all other SMTP. Viruses trying to send mail out to various

I have the same issue. We manage firewalls for a growing business, and currently everything links to their 'corp' office. But their corp office connection is overloaded with all the traffic going between offices. When I ran plain Linux boxes with Shorewall installed, I wrote a tool called 'openm

Just a note of personal experience. I've deployed ~20 pfSense firewalls that had SSDs (both cheap and rated 'good' from Newegg) over the past 2 years. I am not convinced SSDs are more reliable. Nearly every one has had an SSD die or become corrupt. We switched them all to USB sticks and haven't
