Re: [pfSense] Two queries from intending new user

[Usama Ahmad]

Hello Bret,

The answer to your first question is not really. You can do an advanced
install but will have to make the partitions needed beforehand using a live
system disk and then play around with grub after installing PfSense on
freed partitions. Fairly complex especially since this is BSD and not
Debian. May be easier to use a separate disk, that way you could swap.

In default install the Wan does use DHCP the Lan can be changed very easily
from console, option 2 I believe.

Hope that answers your queries.

Sincerely,
Usama

Re: [pfSense] allow all except one port

[Usama Ahmad]

Hello Faisal,

You will need a rule to allow all ports and above that, rules for each port
you wish to block.
PfSense goes through rules in a sequence from top to bottom. So it will
block the ports specified in each rule and let the rest pass.

hope that helps,

Usama

 I did note the Code Red color scheme wraps the page header bar, putting

 Help under System.   I have such problems...


ctrl-F5 or shift+reload  - dump your browser cache and try again.

Saw this in the forums, works perfectly.
