Try disabling SACK on the linux host or even socket autosizing.

Re: [pfSense Support] Multiple VPN compatible with Micro$oft

2008-03-18 Thread Curtis Maurand
i've had good luck with the greenbow ipsec vpn client on windows xp and vista. 
I've had good luck with the pptp client on windows xp, but not vista. Vista can 
ping things, but it can't connect to anything like an exchange server. I'm 
suspecting that one of those "security enhancements" on vista is the culprit. 
but I don't have a copy to test with.

What Curtis pointed you to should work, but you might prefer PPTP 
because the client is built into Windows, and it's a heck of a lot 
easier to configure. It's much less firewall friendly and less secure, 
so it's suitability depends on your environment and its requirements. 

No problem supporting that many users with PPTP or OpenVPN as long as 
you have adequate CPU power for however much traffic you need to push. 
Unless it's a significant amount ( > 15 Mb), basically anything will 
suffice.

Re: [pfSense Support] Strange problem

2008-03-18 Thread Curtis Maurand

No iptables. wasn't even installed until 2 minutes ago. No http proxy 
statements very generic gentoo installation on the laptop. I have not tried 
wget, but I did try telnet to a host on port 80 and the connection hung. I had 
to do a ^] to get out of it. I have not tried wget, lynx or curl, though they 
are all installed. 

I'll try a tcpdump from the pfsense machine the next time I'm in there and see 
what I find. 

thanks, 
Curtis

I have one, and it works fine on my various networks. 

OS and hardware likely aren't the issue here. Have you done something 
like 'export http_proxy="http://foobar:8080";' in your profile on the 
Linux box, or set up a port redirect with iptables, or any one of the 
other thousands of ways to muck with your http traffic on a Linux 
client? Have you tried using wget, curl, or lynx? 

Try the tcpdump from your pfSense system; it'll be the most immediate 
and apparent. If you see appropriate traffic (which at the moment I 
honestly doubt you will), then there's something really strange with 
your pfSense setup. Otherwise, you know it's something on the client.

No such problems here, but it sounds to me like you may have some 
persistent proxy configuration set to redirect 80/443. What http 
clients have you tried, and have you done a tcpdump from your router 
to make sure traffic is hitting it? 

# tcpdump -s0 -vni em0 host linux_client_ip

[pfSense Support] Strange problem

2008-03-18 Thread Curtis Maurand
Hello, 
this is my first post to the list in a very, very long time. Thank you for 
producing a particularly fine product. 

I'm having a rather strange problem. I'm running version 1.2-beta-2. That said, 
I'm performing an upgrade as I type this, but I don't think that its going to 
help. 

I'm running a dual boot laptop behind the pfsense firewall trying to make http 
connections to the outside world. If I boot to Windows XP Pro, no problem. If I 
boot to Linux, I can't establish any connections on port 80/443 going out. It 
will make smtp connections as well as POP3/IMAP connections to the same 
machines. I can ping things. I'm getting successful name lookups and until the 
upgrade to 1.2-RELEASE this unit hadn't been restarted in 400 days. Yes, its 
that stable. This isn't the only annoying problem I'm having, but its a 
concern. As my customer uses only Windows machines in the house it hasn't been 
a problem. I do have a couple of wierd rules set up to give priority to VPN and 
VOIP traffic. 

Vista and PPTP is another topic. :-) 

any help is apppreciated. 

Thanks, 
Curtis

lol, that is very possible - yes.
a 4GB model would be sufficiant for logging, using ntop & imspector
??

I guess proxy is out of the question, since the access is not that fast
