the chances to use a open and free DNS Webservice are good and than
they will use the IP-address itself.
therefore i wrote it not fully serious ;-)

on the other hand, who really needs access , will get access and if it
must be through another http/s-tunnel or
a ssh-tunnel . remember also ssh can misused as socks proxy and as
long ppl. can boot machines from different media
as from the hard disk, they can cheat nearly everything...nothing is
as secure as the death :D

you need it really secure? pull the powerplug of the firewalls,
computers and all switches... :D

just a suggestion do not make it so secure that the security is more a
handbrake as a help.

another quick idea i still got right yet:
use snort and put some fitting rules into it for blocking facebook (
or also other community sites) generally
iirc it should be able to get configured to handle this

squid is naturally not a content filter/blocking system, even if you
can block sites/IP's and ports or any combination with him ;-)
squid can block https access to specific sites and generally to the https ports

another question in this schema: "how secure would https be, if you
can transparent proxying it and hunt a content filter on it?" :O

i suggest the extended use of the all knowing oracle "google"

for a bit fun:
put *.facebook.com into your dns-masquerader and lead him to the
internal IP of the firewall
or to 127.0.0.1 :D (* -> www, or whatever else, i am not aware if the
dns-forwarder can match wildcards)
Deny all other DNS beside the access to the firewall.

Hi @list,

afaik you can define acls in the squidconfig to block specific sites
and ports (nearly anything that is ip/tcp)
you can also create blocking lists that could be used with squid only.
you can also setup special error pages and messages in the config iirc.
a simple example can you find here.

http://nixcraft.com/linux-software/544-how-block-sites-squid.html

as others have already mentioned, redirect all access to the outside
world port 80/443/8080...( not blocking, lead it to the squid)
to port 80 of the pfsense box especially to port 3128 and choose the
transparent proxy settings,
i am sure there will be a howto/tutorial or something to find in the
pfsense docs.

for using squidguard, keep always in mind that each requests gets
validated against a huge list of
blacklisted servers. i had a customer that keeped over 26.000.000
blocked sites in his squidguard
filter -> each request has to getting validated against 26.000.000
listentries ( not the page load, each part of a page)
-> slows down the loading of the  page and increases the load of the
firewall itself

another solution can be dante a socks proxy solution with content
filter abilities. i am not sure if dante or another socks content
filter is availeable
in the packages for pfsense.

hope it helps a bit

regards

m.

Re: [pfSense Support] how to manage 2 subnets for LAN ?

2010-11-21 Thread Michael Schuh
hi,

just my simple idea, not sure if it fits perfectly.

setup the interface on the firewall to
192.168.0.0/23 p.e.
if-address 192.168.0.1
add a second virtual IP  (carp) to the Lan IF
192.168.1.1 ( as gateway address for the second /24 )
add certain rules for it if neccessary.

TROUBLESHOOTING:
for checking if you have trouble with fw rules
log in to the shell per ssh, press 8 and type in tcpdump -ni pflog0 (
not 100% sure if i remember right)

fits to 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24
clients can still use /24 as subnetmask

use ipcalc for calculating the right numbers where should be fitting
to your purposes
if i remember well you cannot use 192.168.1.1 as starting net, thats
against the subnetting rules
of tcp-ip ( masking with a bitmask leads to 192.168.0.0/23)

NO GO:
DHCP in that interfaces with splitted solution for both /24
speak: dhcpd cannot easy differ to what /24 range he should give
asked addresses ( wlan/wired will result in same addressrange than)
everything beside that needs more setup e.g. putting mac-addresses in
the DHCP-config.

hth

What about to put each IP on his own Ethernet-Card and using the loadbalancer?
http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Multi_WAN_/_Load_Balancing
correct me if i am wrong, i thought that this is possible without a
new device in front
of the pfsense. (with 1.2.3 afaik)
thats a very interesting thema.

[pfSense Support] Layer 3-7 Switching

2010-02-14 Thread Michael Schuh
Hello at List,

i need a Layer 4-7 Switching-Solution like the
Linux Virtual Server.
Most of the work ist done on the NAT/RDR and Loadbalancer.
I like pfsense so much, that i need to build the Layer4-7 switch
through pfsense.

Now, can anyone tell me if this is possible in the way of
linux virtual server ( the endpoint of the way) and/or gave me a hint or
link where i can found more informations.

thank you

happy valentines day

otherwise the packets can be allowed with a

in this case dhcp should work and the logs are clean.

then you could use the netflow-package and on your server box
any software you like that can handle Netflows datastreams like argus
http://www.qosient.com/argus/argusnetflow.htm
http://www.qosient.com/argus/index.htm

the good things: argus is usable with databases like mysql and supports afaik
ciscos netflow diagrambut find out themselves if its good for you...

cheers

sorry i've forgotten something:
the linked manpage is for FreeBSD Release 8.0
for pfsense freebsd 7 stable is the correct version, if there is a
difference and i remember correctly.

as far as i know, FreeBSD calculate this in regard of the amount of
Memory in your system
if you has nothing other configured...one of my boxes has 1G RAM and
no settings other than default,
the value of nmbclusters is 6, par example

for monitoring this value you can use the command netstat -m and see
what's going on
this shows you also the configured values from kernel (you must not use sysctl).

greetings

michael

Im not really sure about this in depht, but looks good.
if you have used the wizard for creating the rules all should be fine.

probably another person could help you more than me.
or you search through the mailing-list, if you want.

good luck...greetings

probably this could help you:
http://devwiki.pfsense.org/TrafficShapingGuide

imself has not used traffic shaping yet
but if you would test it you could use pv with nc and dd
or whatever you like under linux to test the max -bw
like out of the box...
on system A <==pfsensebox==>   on system B
10.0.0.2 - 10.0.0.1  172.16.0.1 - 172.16.0.2
nc -l -p 3142|pv >>/dev/null   <===> dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M |pv  |
nc 10.0.0.2 3142

change the ip in the example (10.0.0.2)  to your needs

hope that helps you...

only to be sure: the traffic that should getting shaped _must_ flow
trough the pfsense-box
and don't forget to reset the states before you test the traffic-shaping...

Hi Gabriel,

the bw-limit-switch from rsync doesn't help?
if so, then you could use the traffic shaper,
search the wiki for Howtos. ;-)

Hello Josh,

i think i understand your problem and your wish, hope so.

you have to setup master and slave with forwading
an external subnet throug the WAN-If to another If?
yes?
if the external subnet is a subnet for a DMZ things getting a little bit easier.
then i can help you to configure a master/slave-setup, if you wish.

are the external IPs a subnet or single IP's from different subnets?

cheers

michael

Hi @all,

I believe the best statement at all is from Scott:

... this are the list rules ... (in sense)

It is like "Simon say's" , and there is Simon's Castle ;-)

but it seems to me, not all the listmembers know about that rules ;-)
we have many mature listmembers, from the times that this rules
are not spreaded to all members ... is this possible?

and now i think it should be clear. Or not?

just that what i see.

Greetings

michael
Hint: read Scott's (Simon's) rules

2009-07-30 Thread Michael Schuh
I think that top-posting is better or simpler
top-posting is more natural, everything in the nature that is newer
is on the top ... this is what we as first see

on the other hand we are more trained to read from top to bottom,
the newest words in a message are on the bottom...
we write from top to bottom...

just my 20ct

in such cases i use also snort with oinkmaster-rulesets
there could detecting also portscans and bans such IP's
for a while completely from your Firewall and your net.
This prevents also other services like ftp.
Our ftp-Service is also getting often compromised by Crackers w/
brute-force-attacks...

also related per Source-IP, so far  as i understand the lines in

the pf-filter itself supports it in this way, and i think pfsense use
it in this way...
as you can see...

it does you prevent, because its related to each own source-ipif i

:-D you could set it to allowed common port, ok ok , this brings
propably other issues.
using port 80 or 443 or 25 is not really nice

Yes, only using SSH-Keys is an very good option, but not useful if you
are on the Way
or you have your keys not by hand. ;-)

d) the pf-filter supports your wished blacklist-feature, but i'm not

Hello Nathan,

a simple solution w/o an extra pakage is
a) change the ssh-port to something other like 666
b) limit the connection-rate to a preferred useful value in the filter-rules
c) both a) and b)

I have configured 2 IPSEC-VPN-Tunnels between 2 Boxes for such a scenario.
Works like a charm.

Re: [pfSense Support] Re: Multi IP WAN with NAT

2009-06-09 Thread Michael Schuh
Hello,

sorry my error, i have overread the "IP" in the Subject.

You could use a second IP called virtual IP
for the WAN-Interface. Then you could make portforwarding and NAT
for the second IP.

You must not have a second interface for this.

Re: [pfSense Support] Re: Multi IP WAN with NAT

2009-06-09 Thread Michael Schuh
Hello,

this is not Multi-Wan, this ist WAN with more than one IP's
or WAN with carp-IP.

what dou you would have as solution or endpoint?

2 NICS on WAN-PORT and security-option for NIC-Defect?
Or simply incoming portforwarding on an different IP?

Re: [pfSense Support] Recommended pfSense Hardware ( UK ~£100) ?

2009-02-13 Thread Michael Schuh
Hi Gavin,

i have forgotten to speak about the factors
price vs importance of the required system

if the required system and the connection through this device
is important, how important is it?
How much money loose you if the device (connection) is dead?
In this case is a lowend-box really cheap? Or make it more sense (huh
pf-sense)
to spend 200 or 300Ł more for a good reliable, stable Hardware?

another point of view

regards

michael

> Any objections against active FTP data ?
No. Not really  (i think so), ftp-protocol is ftp-protocol regardless
of the used ports

But objections against some ftp-Server-software *grin*
like proftpd or some others with sporadic but serious bugs.
every time hold an open eye on Bug-Lists and  Security Certs ...

in my own experience, most servers getting defaced
through an buggy ftp-server.first target for hackers,
because many ftp-servers allow anonymous ftp-login or have
 weak user accounts or passwords, this in combination with an
buggy ftp-server is really dangerous

but this is eventually off topic.for this list

Re: [pfSense Support] installing pfSense via pxeboot and nfs

2009-01-19 Thread Michael Schuh
HI,

is it possible that you not have installed the bootloader to the mbr?
I do not know if the boot0cfg is included in the pfsense distribution,
but here is a link to the man-page:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=boot0cfg&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+7.1-RELEASE&format=html

good luck

michael

Re: [pfSense Support] FTP Server in Routed DMZ

2009-01-19 Thread Michael Schuh
Hmm,
hi martin,

i has made such a config, and i have for me realized, that
i have 2 options
a) ftp-Server w/ ftp-proxy on WAN, IIRC this needs special setup in XML-Config
also result is : i can't use the ftp-proxy on lan interface
I be not 100% sure but i believe i remember me that the activation of
ftp-proxy on WAN
is not possible from Browser-User-Interface,

b) open ftp-highrange-ports from wan to ftp-server and you can use
ftp-proxy for users
from lan.if you like to do so

i have used option b) because it is no security risk if no other
services listen on such a port
on the ftp-server-system, the port on the ftp-servers system is only opened if
a ftp-user made a transferthis behavior underlays the
ftp-protocols features of
PASV switching. Other words active ftp-transfer or passive. this is
handled by the ftp-protocol
between server and each individual client.
with option b) you are on the secure side that every User ( if it has
experiences or not)
can make transfers from and to the ftp-server, regardless of transfer-mode.
Works all the time.

Special attention is only needed if another Service listen on the ports
that you must open for ftp-server ( in almost cases not given).

cheers

michael

Re: [pfSense Support] FTP Server in Routed DMZ

2009-01-19 Thread Michael Schuh
Hi,

in my possible solution NO, because you use the ftp-server w/o
Proxy. Communication goes directly to your ftp-server.
Please checkout also the portranges from your ftp-server
if it is not an OpenFTPD (used by FreeBSD/OpenBSD). It can differ
from the ports that i have described. (sorry i have forgotten to say,
that my tips are related to this ftpd).

The proxy is needed for the users in your holy internal LAN.

Re: [pfSense Support] FTP Server in Routed DMZ

2009-01-19 Thread Michael Schuh
Hi,

solution:
Open the Ports described in man 4 ip IP_PORTRANGE_HIGH
referenced by man ftp-proxy or lookup in sysctl net.inet.ip.portrange
like:
net.inet.ip.portrange.hilast: 65535
net.inet.ip.portrange.hifirst: 49152
net.inet.ip.portrange.last: 65535
net.inet.ip.portrange.first: 49152

from WAN to your FTP server and all gets fine.

regards

michael.

this may be, but in my case it was definely proxyarp!
And it wasn't a thing that have to go or not to go! Blinking effects are
happenedin my case
And i have no performance issues. And i think proxy arp should never get a
perfomance issue,
probabliy a security issue, but not at performance

This is what i know for sure!

And you say it "normally".in my case it wasn't normal. :-D

again for finding such errors don't trust them all..test all or
nothing.step by step

ok, most relevant, possible firstor most easiest first
and for good overview make a checklist for tested things, also with
combinations,
so i have also found hardware incompatibilities, that underlies no
rules.

hmm, it is a little more complicated in my case, and it have in my case
nott really to do with the ISP's routing, more with active components
between the router (ISP) and my firewall. This component routes/bridges
only traffic that have valid arp-adresses. For me, in my case it shows
like a config-issue or an bug in this components.

Thought. That could be, but we do nothing know about the configuration and
components
behind the scenes (on ISP Side from lenny).
In other words nothing is impossibleand this could be a simple try and

thats fast made, also why not spend the 5 Mins to test ist?
It is then clear if it is it or not. to be or not to be :-D know or not to

On such suspect errors, believe on nothing, double check all the

Another thing is, are the servers and clients ready to deliver such a

My guess yes and no. My guess with udp/icmp you could get more traffic

Hi,

Oh not to understand as "its limit the packets per second", but you get not
all the time answers from the isps-gateway, because it need proxyarp.

In my configuration i have connected Servers through an DMZ Interface
with official IP's.

Case:
w/o proxyarp: we are connected, but very small amount of traffic goes
through the ISP's gate.

w/ proxyarp: all things go fine

after a call to the ISP we have cleared, that the equipement from the ISP
needs
proxyarp for all the machines are connected with public ip's and he have no
chance
to change it (so says ISP's suporter regardless if it really true).

the resulted behavior w/o proxyarp  was the described in the original post.

In my Case(!).

ACK rrd-graphs have nothing to do with this behaviour.

greetings

michael

Re: [pfSense Support] Can't get more than 15kpps.

2008-12-21 Thread Michael Schuh
Hi,


the proxy-arp is nothing to see on your box, may be the equipement of your
provider
could need it.

see if it is enabled with the sysctl-utility.

Afaik it is no way to configure it in the web-frontend.
You hava to made following config in your xml-config:




sysctl -w net.link.ether.inet.proxyall=1

For testing purposeses you can configure it at runtime (i think it works
direktly).
Like in the Webfrontend in the diagnostics-menu under command, or on the
shell.

If i remember correctly, so you can make this for single interfaces too,
except for all.
This command works for all interfaces, not on specific.

The behavior that you describe is exactly the same as mine, as before i made
the proxyarp-entry. Another signifikant behavior for proxyarp needings
is that the traffic from the firewall itself is always at a fine speed, for
natted boxes also,
but not for routed Servers (because the provider needs proxyarp, in my
case).

good luck ;-)

greetings

michael

Hi,

do you use nat? no?
my guess it could be proxyarp.
It is par default disabled.

One of the connection of my customers need proxyarp to properly connect
an route the requests to the Servers in the DMZ.

Don't forget ( if it was it, to enable proxy-arp in loader.conf and
firewall-xml-config.
Using the Backup-/Restore-feature.

Re: [pfSense Support] multipe remote desktop connections/nat

If you can use different ports your chances are good.

say User A Connects to ExternalIP:3389 -> forwarded to Host A:3389
say User B Connects to ExternalIP:13389 -> forwarded to Host B:3389

Ist possible through the port-forward tab in NAT Rules

Re: [pfSense Support] Re: random lock up

2008-09-24 Thread Michael Schuh
Hi Matias,

have you cleaned up the filesystem after such a reboot? As mentoided?

second it seems to me it could be a lockup during a hot spot??

30.000 state should be possible with enough ram.
I have a box configured with 1.000.000 states but 2 G RAM!!

such a behavior w/o errormessages could be an temperature problem of the CPU
or Harddrive or RAM
-> very fast lockup if it is hot

Checkup the ram with memtest86+.
Checkup cooling and cpu-cooler/fan.
often the cooler isnt correct placed on the cpu or moved during the
transport
of the system.

If it not helps try a newer version of pfsense,
other peles reports such problems with 1.2 RELEASE but not with 1.2.1 on the
same Hardware..

you can backup your config through diagnostics menu, reinstall and restore
your config and erverything is fine,
as you has it configered before.


hope this helps..

regards

michael

Re: [pfSense Support] Need to limit webaccess to all bout 15 websites

2007-03-15 Thread Michael Schuh

Hi
if i understand right you would give Clients on the lan
access to only 15 Sites and nothing more?
so you have two options,
a)
 create allow rules for dns, smtp pop3,imap, or what else is required,
 create also pass rules that aloow access to this 15 sites
 hint this sites can be hacked in an alias so you should only define one
rule
 caveats: the ipadress ist required, and if this addresses changes the site
could not be accessed

b) my preferred solution
install squid, enable transparent proxying, create access rules in the
squid-configuration that allows access to the sites that are required and
deny acces to any other, optionally you can create black- and whitle lists
that are
loaded by squid. The acls and lists can contain regular expression on all
subcomponents
of a request. if you need samples, contact me i can you give a full
configuration
that are a perfect example for this techniques.
optionally you can create local users on the firewall for
limiting access to authenticated users, or user an radius server to
authenticate
( i think pfSense suppirt this).

hope this helps you

cheers

Stupid question: if I have two switches (a HP ProCurve 2650 and a
Netgear GS724T to be precise, which are both quite reasonable products
for the price tag, especially if you reflash the Netgear firmware, which
is buggy out of the box), which are both vlan-capable (it's supposedly
standartized, whatever little that means in this business),
can I make tagged vlans which span across two or more switches?

Apropos of nothing, I managed to down my hoster's network segment by
an inadvertent ARP storm, made with pfSense (it's a great dual-use
product,
doubles as a nuclear weapon in a pinch). I had a firewall with two
interfaces
(two firewalls, in fact) on the same switch. While playing around with the
port-based vlans (I tried to not have two interfaces on the same VLAN,
thinking
that Something Bad might happen, and was proven right) I managed to
actually
put two interfaces on the same (main) VLAN, which took everything offline
(and my entire
subnet banned because of a DoS) in a mere few seconds. It required a
manual
intervention (switching off the firewalls by power button), disabling the
switch ports, and unbanning the network to get me back in business.
The firewalls were still unaccessible (I almost triggered another
ARP storm by trying to get back to them, but this time fortunately managed
to disable the port in time), but fortunately I had a crossover serial to
a
Linux machine in the rack, and a PDU which allowed me to remotely
power-cycle the
firewalls, so I could reconfigure the firewalls via the serial console (I
used
minicom, which is in the Debian depository -- anyone knows anything more
basic?).
The other firewall, unfortunately, lacked such a crossover serial, so it's
dead
until a physical visit, or at least until I pay for a pair of remote
hands,
and a crossover cable. Well, this means that I have to try a filtered
bridge next,
and think later about pfsync/carp cluster failover.

Moral: networking is unsuitable for dumb people.

Re: [pfSense Support] PPPOE Connection / Packages are getting lost

2007-02-16 Thread Michael Schuh

Hi,

i be not sure what pppd is used on pfsense,
but if it is the originally pppd from FreeBSD so
don't set the mru and the pppd handles out
the mtu ans mru over an handshake with his peer
called mru-handshake

if this doesnt work for you, you can see the handled mtu/mru in the logging
from pppd,
and set the size around 100 bytes smaller

sometimes an extra load for extra tunneling is required,
the more providers are between your connection and the real carrier,
the more byteload you must pay for tunneling...like
pppoe->ethernet-->atm and so on.

most times i have set this to the minimum, and let the pppd and the kernel
do the
rest of the work for me.

here an piece from manpage of pppd
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=pppd&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.2-RELEASE&format=html
---%<--snip--%<---
mru n Set the MRU [Maximum Receive Unit] value to n. Pppd will ask
the peer to send packets of no more than n bytes. The minimum
MRU value is 128. The default MRU value is 1500. A value of
296 is recommended for slow links (40 bytes for TCP/IP header +
256 bytes of data).

mtu n Set the MTU [Maximum Transmit Unit] value to n. Unless the peer
requests a smaller value via MRU negotiation, pppd will request
that the kernel networking code send data packets of no more
than n bytes through the PPP network interface.
--->%--snap-->%--

2007/2/16, Scott Ullrich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


Start with a MTU of 500 and work your way up.  1400 might not be low
enough.

Re: [pfSense Support] Looking for hardware

Hi,

which high you would 1HE? so you could look to msi-rackboxes
or supermicro-boxes, there have 3 onboard NIC's, and let you put an
QFE/OGB(quattro-fastethernet/gigabit)-Card in an standard pci-slot.
so you can got 7 NIC's. But these are bigger,louder and consumes more
power, also produces more heat.


alternatively you buy an 3 or 4 HE-box with 6 PCI slots
and put 6 QFE-Cadrd in in and simulate an Switch/HUB

I currently run pfsense on a LinITX FX5620 which has 6 NICs and works

did not recognize the built in PCI express NICs :(
Can anyone help me with either making pfsense work on the NSA 1046 (can i

[pfSense Support] questions/wishes

2007-01-12 Thread Michael Schuh

Hi Scott,
Hi Holger,

i have some questions over the xmlrpc functionality.

First: is it possible to configure or to extend pfsene in an way,
so that the xmlrpc-function sync the rules to many other slaves?
Concret now pfsense's xmlrpc work in one to one mode,
one master and one slave, so that it is only possible to define an
chain to sync like

pfsense01 sync to-> pfsense02 sync to -> pfsense03 sync to pfsense04


setting pfsense04 up to sync with pfsense01 can get many fun :-)
and a never ending story :-)
just kidding


but not
 -> pfsense02
pfsense01 sync to -> pfsense03
 -> pfsense04

Second is based on the first:
is it possible to extend the prevention from xmlrpc, so that rules that
gaves maked on the Slave prevented from deletion by the xmlrpc-sync?
Or to make an extra Flag that prevents deletion.

third is also based on the first two :
is it possible to extend pfSense to mark such rules (prevented from
xmlrpc, or from deletion) with an extra icon in the rules overview.
like the block/reject/pass and info-icons?

forth: it is possible to toggle the info flag like the
block/pass/reject-Flag, to toggle logging temporary?

The reason for this questiions wishes, is to manage Large Networks
from one Master-Firewall ( commonly only a Confugiration backend) and
sync common rules for every other Firewall to all Firewalls that we
have to manage, but gaves us the possibility to define local rules
that
are prepended to the global rules or other configrations and prevented
by deletion.
I think you understand what the target in my mind is.

Sorry for my bad english :-)

thank you

regards

michael

[pfSense Support] Where is the squid package?

2006-12-07 Thread Michael Schuh

Hello,

i have installed a New pfsense-Firewall with CD-Release-1.0,
after Installation i have updated to the last full update
(@monday). I would install the squid-package from packages,
but the packages-pages doesn't show me this package.

can this result through an connectionproblem to wiki.pfsense.com?
at the moment is this site blocked (proably by the isp or carrier).
or give it some other way to install this package?

thanks

regards

michael

Re: [pfSense Support] there is an typo in the squid-config

2006-09-29 Thread Michael Schuh

Hi Scott,

a little bit late but better then never.

Here are the two patches for the squid config's.

Back to my other question about proxyarp
net.link.ether.inet.proxyall=1
now i know put this setting in /etc/sysctl.conf makes it not permanent,
i have now putted in /boot/loader.conf, hope so that this is permanent,
and getting loaded from boot on.

Otherwise is it possible to make an switch in advanced settings
per default disabled?

Our Internet link does not forward packets from other interfaces,
there arp-address he does not know. so i must every reboot,
set the setting new, otherwise our Servers in DMZ are not reachable
from internet.

Thanks for all.

cheers

michael

Re: [pfSense Support] Configuration with Public IP DMZ

2006-09-28 Thread Michael Schuh

Hi,
2006/9/28, Holger Bauer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

As the ftp server has a routed public IP disable the ftp-helper at WAN (or keep it 
disabled, it is by default). Then all you need is firewallrules permitting tcp 
traffic from source any to destination  port 21 and 
additional to that the portrange range that the ftp server uses. You don't need to 
portforward or nat.

Yes this is configured, except the other ports.
and yes the other ports are my problem. but im not sure what ports
are to openi have found an hint to 9500 to ,
the config say not much about this ...oh i have found it 49152-65535 on FBSD,
if i be rigth there...


Additionally I suggest enabling advanced outbound NAT. It will create a default 
NAT rule for your LAN subnet only. So NAT for the DMZ Interface is shut down by 
this (which you don't need in your setup). This way it should work with the 
above described firewallrules.

i have this also checked, and no automagically created nat rule.
i vahe made a NO NAT rule for the DMZ-Target, and an outbound NAT rule for
the whole internal private net except the DMZ-Subnet.
Here im not sure if the exception should cover the complete public ip-range
here 213.135.2.224/27


thanks for your help

cheers

michael

Re: [pfSense Support] Configuration with Public IP DMZ

2006-09-28 Thread Michael Schuh

Hi,

first thanks for your work and hints, but
i have seen the entrys in forum and faq, but this covers not my problem.
I think you have not really understand what i would, or better i have
not clearly enough described my problem.

Our ftp-server is on an public ip-address (our complete dmz).
so that i have to make no nat on DMZ interfaces/addresses.
The soulution that you have described is only really valid on
private addresses on DMZ like 192.168.1.24 or so (i think)

 WAN DMZ  LAN
213.135.2.225/28---213.135.2.240/28--192.168.1.0

And therfore i can not change our public ip addresses
(on the servers) like change it to private to opreate with the known
configuration as described by you and the entrys in the forum.

possibly i think to strange for configuration
(this may results from iptables and other config strategies).

i would only redirect connects incoming on the WAN/LAN-Interface for
DMZ-IP 247 port = ftp
but not all connects on the WAN-IP to port = ftp ! this is important because
we would later run a second ftp-server or soand with the described solution
this is impossible, or i must eventually spend a second virtual ip
from my WAN-NET.

i hope so you and the others understand what i like to get.


thanks for all

regards

michael

2006/9/28, Holger Bauer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

This is extensively covered at the forum and there even is a faq entry at 
faq.pfsense.com (I think).

However, quick guide:
- Delete all NAT/firewallrules you created for the ftpserver (most likely wrong 
as it doesn't work) to start over.
- at interfaces>wan enable ftp helper
- at firewall>nat, portforward create a portforward: interface WAN, interfaceadress, 
port 21, destination , port 21
- save (nothe te text in the apply message that it created a rule for the 
ftp-helper
- apply

That's it

Holger

Betreff: [pfSense Support] Configuration with Public IP DMZ



Hi,

i have pfsense taked yesterday in production use
(SNAPSHOT from 2006-09-26).
My configuration is
wan public.226/28
DMZ public.241/28
lan privateip/24

now i have the Problem my config for ftp-proxying our ftp-server
is probably wrong. i can connect to the ftp, but it passed only
one type of ftp-connect's (active or passive, be not sure).

i say our ftp.server is on public.247 so i must redirect all
ftp connects to the ftp-proxy-helper, but i be not sure how.

i have diabled the automatic nat rules, and need also the right
rules for outboud ftp sessions.
at the time i have configured outbound nat only for
our privatenet except the DMZ-NET.

Another question is abount /etc/sysctl.conf. I have made
an entry for proxyarp, while out interconnect disconnects the
dmz-nt if they get no arp addresses (for me this is bullshit, 
security-leak)
but he doesn't work otherwise.
Get the /etc/sysctl mangled or changes by an update? if so, if there
another possibility to change net.link.ether.inet.proxyall to 1 ?
(default 0 ).

thank a lot

[pfSense Support] there is an typo in the squid-config

2006-09-27 Thread Michael Schuh

Hi,

i have found typo's in squid's config files:
/usr/local/pkg/squid.inc
/usr/local/pkg/squid_cache.xml

in the config ist GSDF written, should be GDSF,
so get the entry for heap magement in squid.conf
false...

the binary /usr/local/libexec/squid/pinger has wrong permissions
so that we get an:

== output from faq===
pingerOpen: icmp_sock: (13) Permission denied

This means your pinger program does not have root priveleges. You
should either do this:
   % su
   # make install-pinger
or
   # chown root /usr/local/squid/bin/pinger
   # chmod 4755 /usr/local/squid/bin/pinger
===end output from faq.===

setting the
chmod 4755 /usr/local/libexec/squid/pinger

get the right behavior.

i think this interets you possibily..

thanks

install and configure pfsense in the internal network for replacing
the old firewall

i will inform you if i get the message again

thank you for your responsivity

regards

[pfSense Support] UpperCase Letters won't work in Aliases w/ RC2

2006-09-26 Thread Michael Schuh

Hi,

i try pfsense for the first time. And i find it great.
I have made a typo in alias names, so that i have
typed only uppercase-letters like DMZ, after save
i get an gettext error message.

I hope this is interested for you.

thanks

best regards

michael

hi,

i again.

could this causes if the interface has no carrier?
i configure the firewall offline, preconfiguring an
hot spare for replacing the old fw.

thanks

Does your DMZ interface actually have an address?  The destination
field is curiously empty in your screenshot.
