OpenVPN vm cant connect to other VM's
Hi guys
Im struggling with a freebsd vm, that I have that I use for a VPN
connection too, from my workstation to my home LAN. And I was wondering
if someone could peer review me and my problem.
OpenVPN is working beautifully. I.e. I can connect to some services
(apache etc) that I run directly on my FreeBSD / openvpn vm.
What im now trying to achieve is that I can connect to other VMs /
machines on my home LAN.
Im using tun for my VPN, and my pf.conf looks like so (please see the
nat on ...)
[root@freebsd /usr/home/bclark]# cat /etc/pf.conf
ext_if=re0
vpn_if=tun0
int_net=10.0.0.0/24
vpn_net=192.168.200.0/24
set skip on lo0
set optimization normal
#set block-policy drop
set limit { states 2, frags 1, src-nodes 2 }
# Normalization: reassemble fragments and resolve or reduce traffic
ambiguities.
scrub in all
# Translation: specify how addresses are to be mapped or redirected.
# NAT rules
# enabling NAT currently breaks policy based routing
#nat on $ext_if from { $int_net, $vpn_net } to any - ($ext_if)
#nat on tun0 from { 192.168.200.0/24 } to any - (re0)
nat on re0 from { 192.168.200.0/24 } to any - (re0)
table sshguard persist
block in quick on re0 proto tcp from sshguard to any port ssh label
ssh brute
What am I missing?
If anyone could assist, it would be appreciated.
Kind Regards
Brent Clark

Carp kernel module missing from FreeNAS?
Guys Im looking to have a failover for my FreeNAS systsem. Im folllowing this, example ( http://qq929962616.72pines.com/2012/03/configure-highly-available-storage-on-freenas/ ), but is doesnt look like the Carp module is available. If that is true, anyone know how I can go about adding / enabling carp on FreeNAS. Someone made a suggestion of: FreeNAS uses a standard FreeBSD Kernel, so you can simply download the module from the FreeBSD FTP site and it will work. You have to have the right version however. How can or woulld I go about that? Your help would be most appreciated.

KVM attach drive to FreeBSD guest
Hiya Im running FreeNas on a KVM guest. I need to add (attach) a virtual drive.

Re: Compiling everything myself?
I have been using Debian for some years and have gotten tired by system freezes, having a slow system, and having a package system that requires that I install every skin of KDE to get KDE up and running. I hope FreeBSD will be better! :-) Hiya Im all for one compiling software for ones self, BUT the fact that you mention system freezes and a slow system is very suspect. Its in your best interest to get a live cd and run memcheck and more importantly check your hardware. Also have you check your machine, by using system tools such as top, netstat, vmstat, iostat, lsof etc, basically to check what your machine is doing and whats it up too.

raid tool

Re: raid tool
John Nielsen wrote: If you replace raid5 with redundancy and n-1 capacity then you could also look at geom_raid3, which is much simpler to configure than gvinum and also part of the base system. Additionally, FreeBSD 7.x has experimental support for ZFS (again in the base system and not in ports). That includes raidz, which is designed to have all of the good features of raid5 and none of the bad. I use it and it works well but you will need to do some reading and some manual tuning of your system. You'll also want a system with plenty of RAM and preferrably running FreeBSD-amd64 (vs FreeBSD-i386). If you want to look in to RAID1 or RAID1+0 see geom_mirror and geom_stripe, also in the base system. JN Hiya Thanks for this.

Having used debian for x amount of years, think its time to add *BSD to my repertoire and too see whats used in the real world / practice. Thanks for your reply.

securelevels
Hi I would like to know, in production envs, or anything for that matter, may I ask how many of you raise the securelevel. If so, to what do you raise it to.

bsdpan but would prefer deb-make-perl
Hi I dont like these bsdpan perl modules that I needed, but have. I would like to build and install these modules myself with something like debian's deb-make-perl. Is there anything like that for freebsd, of how do you guys go about with this.
