Re: [pfSense Support] Router supporting multiple WAN IP Addresses.

 Does it matter if the two systems that need public IPs have

 Yes. But I also want to block services that they should not be
 supporting.

I assume you meant that it doesn't matter if there is inbound NAT in
front of the systems.

You can filter 1:1 NAT but if you don't need full exposure you are
probably better off configuring individual inbound NAT on a
port-by-port basis.

 I meant more of case of multiple computers that only need to get out,
 and do not need to be accesses from the Internet. My terminology is not
 up to speed yet.

Ahh, outbound NAT only, by default pfSense will do that for you.

 If I specify the WAN interface as x.x.x.208 /29
 Then my firewall Card sees all 8 addresses. x.x.x.208  to x.x.x.215

 My PFSense Firewall is x.x.x.209

 Then my firewall rules can specify what to do in the specific cases of
 x.x.x.209
 x.x.x.210
 x.x.x.211
 x.x.x.212
 x.x.x.213

 Is that how it works?

No.

If your IP block was x.x.x.208/29 you set your modem/router up as
x.x.x.209, WAN interface on the firewall is x.x.x.210/29, then setup
Proxy ARP virtual IP addresses on WAN for the other IPs in the network
that you're interested in (note in the case of VIPs the IPs should be
set as x.x.x.211/32, x.x.x.212/32 and so on).

Proxy ARP basically means that pfSense will respond to ARP requests
for the configured VIPs as well as its configured WAN interface
address, hence it will see the traffic on them, then you can configure
inbound NAT on the VIP to pass the appropriate port(s) through to the
appropriate internal IP address (with the appropriate firewall rules).

If you need real time assistance with the setup the IRC channel is
generally pretty good for relatively simple stuff like this.

Remember that the firewall rules are matched from top to bottom. If a 
rule is based early in the chain, the following rules will be 
disregarded seeing as a matching rule was already found.

This is a shot in the dark, but try resetting the BIOS to it's defaults

I've got an Atom 330 based system (Sorry, I don't have the mobo or

during the install based on some combination of BIOS options that I
don't entirely recall.

I have reason to believe there are some ACPI issues but haven't had the
time to track it down, but at this point if I disable ACPI I can't even
boot the system, it locks immediately after the Highpoint driver (I
don't use any Highpoint cards in this machine), and ACPI needs to be
enabled for the system to even boot.

Beyond the initial hardware configuration fun, it has been rock solid.

The problem with IP filtering by DNS entry is that you tie your
critical filtering path to an external, nondeterministic lookup.
There is no guarantee you will get a DNS query back in a reasonable
timeframe.  You're also at best issuing a DNS query per-connection and
at worst issuing one per packet.  Yes, there are caches, but those
only partially mitigate the issue.

Filtering at a higher protocol level (e.g. with an HTTP proxy like
squid) allows much better control over what users access.  You don't
have control over other protocols (vpn, bt, etc.), but if you're
seriously worried about such, you could also implement 'positive
controls' (default deny, add rules for what users may access) or
configure your users' DNS server to block queries for that domain.

 Betreff: [pfSense Support] Firebox X series w/ 1.2 and 1.2.2 issue
 
 
  So, I have a pair of firebox x700 units that I have put new CF
 cards
 in. I have tried both 1.2-RELEASE and 1.2.2 (both embedded), and
 both
 behave the same way.
   
  On the serial console, I will see the following:
  re4: watchdog timeout
  re4: watchdog timeout
  etc
   
  If I change the LAN interface to re1, the same thing happens,
 except
 on the serial console I will see:
  re1: watchdog timeout
  re1: watchdog timeout
  ...etc
 
 
 
 
 I had a similar issue while I was working on a few X500/700 whatever
 boxes
 last week.  I know people suggest that various low end switches
 produce this
 error, but I had no switch in the mix.
 
 I was going direct to a desktop and was getting it.  It was a home
 made
 looking cable.  As soon as I plugged in one of our prefab cables it
 went
 away.   Try and switch out the ethernet cable. 
 
 Let us know.   I have 5 of these boxes in the corner of my office. 3
 of
 which I am planning on deploying in the next two weeks.

What version are you running on it?  1.2.3 snapshots as of this past
Sunday have re(4) and rl(4) from FreeBSD 8-CURRENT per recommendations
of the FreeBSD developer who maintains that code. It may not be an

Those who are seeing watchdog timeouts on re or rl cards should try a

D'oh! I performed my testing with (oddly enough) the latest 2.0-ALPHA-ALPHA

I'll certainly try on the newest 1.2.3 snapshots. I may be putting this unit

2.0 is rather impressive but I get the impression that it's not ready for

RE: [pfSense Support] AW: Firebox X series w/ 1.2 and 1.2.2 issue

2009-03-31 Thread Dimitri Rodis
What version are you currently running? I have seen watchdog timeouts with 1.2 
and 1.2.2. I have 2 units in a CARP cluster, and 5 of the interfaces are being 
used (2 WANs, although 1 of the WANs was not configured for the test, 2 LANs, 
and 1 dedicated sync interface). I have made various modifications to 
/boot/loader.conf which have reduced the watchdog timeouts, but they still show 
up. The behavior gets really weird when I have both units operating in a 
cluster.. 

Anyway, I think it might show up when you use more than 2 interfaces. Initial 
testing with just a LAN/WAN setup didn't appear to really have any issues.. 
then I added a second LAN and a dedicated sync interface for CARP and threw it 
into production, and it lasted about 10 minutes before it melted down with 
watchdog timeouts.

I've just acquired an X500 unit and after throwing boatloads of traffic through 
it, I haven't seen a single watchdog timeout. Two ports are connected to a 
switch and a third port to a workstation. I can send you any information on my 
config if you'd like for testing/comparison.

 Betreff: [pfSense Support] Firebox X series w/ 1.2 and 1.2.2 issue
 
 
  So, I have a pair of firebox x700 units that I have put new CF
 cards
 in. I have tried both 1.2-RELEASE and 1.2.2 (both embedded), and
 both
 behave the same way.
   
  On the serial console, I will see the following:
  re4: watchdog timeout
  re4: watchdog timeout
  etc
   
  If I change the LAN interface to re1, the same thing happens,
 except
 on the serial console I will see:
  re1: watchdog timeout
  re1: watchdog timeout
  ...etc
 
 
 
 
 I had a similar issue while I was working on a few X500/700 whatever
 boxes
 last week.  I know people suggest that various low end switches
 produce this
 error, but I had no switch in the mix.
 
 I was going direct to a desktop and was getting it.  It was a home
 made
 looking cable.  As soon as I plugged in one of our prefab cables it
 went
 away.   Try and switch out the ethernet cable. 
 
 Let us know.   I have 5 of these boxes in the corner of my office. 3
 of
 which I am planning on deploying in the next two weeks.
 
 Andrew

What version are you running on it?  1.2.3 snapshots as of this past
Sunday have re(4) and rl(4) from FreeBSD 8-CURRENT per recommendations
of the FreeBSD developer who maintains that code. It may not be an
issue with snapshots since Sunday.

Those who are seeing watchdog timeouts on re or rl cards should try a
1.2.3 snapshot.
