Re: [pfSense Support] SNORT on pfSense w/ Email?

2008-01-18 Thread Curtis LaMasters
Is there anyway to configure Snort on pfSense to do this without adding any
software?  We are looking to have these deployed at multiple remote
locations and would like to have them just let us know when something bad
happens.  Next step will be to figure out how to get Nagios to report this
for us.

2008-01-18 Thread Jared Valentine
I don't see why not.  Use a logfile analysis tool like Simple Event
Correlator (SEC) to watch your Snort logfile.  Once it finds the event you
are interested in, it can spawn an external command, one of which could be
to e-mail you.  See the SEC website for more details:

RE: [pfSense Support] Dropped WAN connections

2008-01-18 Thread Ron Lemon
The new satellite link is much better than the old, I have been through
enough of them to know 

Hybrid phone out sat in
KU Sat in and out 512 K in and 20 K out
KA Sat in and out 1024 K in and 200 K out

I have been using pfSense since 1.0 I think and generally it has worked
quite well.  It was only late summer when this started to become an
issue my provide said it was my tree (its bare now so .) but I think
it was close to the time I put and update to pfSense on I just don't
remember whether it was 1.2 RC1 or RC2

It used to stay up for weeks on end.

I have a couple of suggestions to try and a week in Jamaica coming up.
Maybe one of those things will help.

Thanks.

long ago when I played with a satellite internet link, it was windows
only, and required some special software on the windows box which
spoofed the 3 way handshake and also ACKs to give the IP stack a false
sense of improved latency. As long as the signal was good so packet loss
was small, it worked OK.

It worked well for FTP and WWW when you didn't care about latency, as
once data was streaming it came down pretty fast. Interactive use - ssh
for example - was almost impossible, and uplink speed was very poor.

my point being that you'll have to mess about a lot with timer settings
to make satellite link work properly without timeouts, whether you can
find some sort of tun/tap driver which will do the spoofing and improve
perceived latency is another matter.

The 1:1 NAT will do it, I assumed it was a port forward.  It's kinda
incompatible with NAT reflection (since that passes through userland,
we can really only handle a smattering of ports at a time).

I'm doing a 1:1 NAT for each of these servers; they are on the same VLAN if
that matters.  But it doesn't seem to matter weather or not NAT reflection
is enabled.

Unfortunately, the application server is "hands off" for my company, so
making host file mod's isn't possible at this point.

That's exactly how the nat reflection in pfsense works.

Re: [pfSense Support] vista_problem

2008-01-18 Thread Sean Cavanaugh
remember that Vista tries to use IPv6 as the default protocol instead of 
IPv4. double check your network connection settings that they are properly 
configured under vista as it is a little bit more finicky.

[pfSense Support] Doubt and problem with load balancer

2008-01-18 Thread David Barbero


Hello everyone.

I have a question regarding the load balancer system, the ip monitor  
has to be the router

ip or external ip to our network?

The problem I have is the following, I am setting up a 1.2-RC3 version  
with two WAN, one
LAN and one DMZ, I followed the manual  
http://www.netlife.co.za/content/view/34/34/ and I
am setting the load balancer as failover and when I change the gateway  
in LAN filter rule
to the name of the balancer, I haven't access to the dmz from lan, I  
tried to make rules

that specifically allow access lan from the dmz, but I do not have access.

It happens that you can be? Or if some manual that I know of a clue,  
it is also valid.


Sorry for my bad English...

can't you use a different DNS server (or use "views" -
http://www.zytrax.com/books/dns/ch7/view.html ), or hack the hosts file
on the server so that it doesn't get the external interface IP?

if NAT reflection doesn't work, can you do something with a userspace
listener on pfsense which forwards port 25 (jumpgate sort of thing)?
