 I can access the backup server with GUI and ssh.
 I access fw1 by ssh to fw2, then ssh from fw2 to fw1 using the crossover

 I did netstat and it is listening on port 443 and ssh
 
 I did 11)  Restart webConfigurator
 no joy
 We rebooted fw1 via ssh, no joy
 
 any ideas greatly appreciated

As I was able to ssh in through fw2

I executed
  pfctl -d
  went in with the GUI, found error in Country Block, fixed
  pfctl -f /tmp/rules.debug

[pfSense Support] carp with bridge

2010-10-28 Thread Gerald Waugh
We desire to add carp to our current pfsense firewall
Purchased a second server for the slave/secondary

Currently bridging the WAN/Opt(Servers) interfaces on the master/primary
Using pfsense 1.2.3

Looking for howto links and any other info

 You have a public subnet from your ISP, 1.1.1.0/24, for example.
 
 You get a static IP from your ISP that is outside your subnet,
 2.2.2.1, for example.
 
 Your ISP has to route your subnet to your static IP.
 
 On pfsense:
 
 WAN is 2.2.2.1
 LAN is 1.1.1.1/24
 dhcp server on LAN (if desired) gives out 1.1.1.2 - 1.1.1.254
 
 Did I understand your question correctly? Or is this somehow more
 complicated when carp is involved?

Thinking ...

 Close. You just need at least a /29 on the WAN side so you have enough
 IPs for CARP - one for each box and the shared IP. The other subnet is
 routed to the shared CARP IP.
 
 On the internal side, one IP out of your block is for CARP on your
 LAN/OPT interface, and again one for each box. Items in the internal
 side use the shared CARP IP as their gateway.


Appears to be ongoing expense to have to get another subnet from ISP.
We have a /24 now and the servers use this,
We use bridging to get them through the pfsense firewall, and works
great.
Just looking for the redundancy carp provides.

 Look at the advanced options on each rule. Maximum new connections /

 there as well.

Thank you, this is what I was looking for...
BTW, I did buy 2 copies of the book ;)

the iptables 'recent and limit' rules limit the number of accesses
within a set time.

i.e.
iptables -N SSHSCAN
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -j SSHSCAN
iptables -A SSHSCAN -m recent --set --name SSH
iptables -A SSHSCAN -m recent --update --seconds 300 --hitcount 3 --name
SSH -j DROP

1st line creates a table SSHSCAN
2nd line defines ssh port 22 with state NEW
3rd line sets up 'recent' with name SSH
4th line 'update' count in SSH, sets a 300 second time, and allows 3
accesses to port 22 from a single IP address
If count is 3 or greater (during 300 seconds), further access are
blocked
