[pfSense] 502 Bad Gateway

2016-08-01 Thread Paul Galati
This morning I logged into the router to bring up the dashboard as I usually 
do.  I began my day and some time later I revisited the dashboard to check on 
things and I get a 502 bad gateway error.  I did not make any changes to the 
config at all today.  From the beginning I did enable https login and so when I 
attempt to login I do get the certificate notice. Once I accept that I then get 
the 502 bad gateway error with a nginx underneath it.  The router has been up 
about 5 days.

Before I posted this I did a search and found this was a common issue.  Was 
2.3.2 supposed to fix this?  I do have openvpn and IPSec widgets enabled on the 
dashboard.  Should they be turned off?  What about the OS update engine?

Thanks for your help.

[pfSense] IPSec log comments

2016-07-28 Thread Paul Galati
I noted installed packages
I backed up my configuration xml, 2.2.4
I replaced hard disk with SSD
Installed fresh 32-bit 2.3.2
Installed packages
imported config

The 3 openvpn clients logged back in with no problem and tunneled VOIP phones 
logged back in as well.  My guest network was unable to reach the internet 
until I added a line to rules.  Not quite sure why it worked with 2.2.4 but did 
not in 2.3.2.  Nonetheless, the pass !LAN statement worked.  The only things I 
am noticing so far is that when I change any preference in the dashboard, the 
traffic graphs fall back to only showing the WAN traffic.  Resetting the 
traffic graph prefs works until I change a different dashboard pref.

The more important is the IPSec log file.  The only IPSec config is the mobile 
client.  Here is what I am seeing in the the log when no one is connected.

Re: [pfSense] Connect pfSense as client to a Hotel WLAN?

2015-07-30 Thread Paul Galati
I have had pretty good success simply using a Asus RT-N16 or a Linksys WRT54GL 
router running Tomato open source firmware.  You can either wireless client or 
wireless bridge to the hotel and create a second wireless and/or wired network 
for yourself.  Since Tomato has openVPN already built-in, it tunnels whatever 
clients are attached to router.  Yes there may be some wireless performance to 
take into consideration but in my experience when I had slow performance at the 
hotel, it was not because of my router.  Since Tomato is open source, you can 
anticipate continued development.

 I solved this problem by using a Mac to connect to the Hotel WLAN and then

 control panel. When I then connect the ALIX WAN interface to my Mac using a 
 cable, things again work nicely, but I effectively block a Mac as router that 
 I would rather carry around.
 
 My thought was throw a second ALIX box at the problem and make that one 
 connect as client to the hotel's WLAN, then plug the two ALIX's together 
 with a short cable.

Probably get flamed for this but my experience has been positive.  Purchase a

Am I doing something wrong or is the current dashboard themes limited to 2

Re: [pfSense] pfsense, IPSec, and Mac OS X

2014-08-20 Thread Paul Galati
Bryan,

Setting everything up like you have documented, great directions btw, did not 
change my end result.  If I disable NAT-T, I am prompted for a password every 
time and it does connect but fails to route anywhere.  If I enable NAT-T, it 
works as advertised IF I somehow get prompted for a password.  I never know 
when I will get a prompt for a password.  I can’t find a relationship or reason 
as to why it works or not even when I did not make any changes for several days.

I am now investigating the certificate part of your documentation to see if 
that makes any difference on the Mac OS X side.  Not really planning to do VPN 
on the phone, yet.  Thanks for your help.

If that doesn’t work, I guess the next step would be to try a software openvpn 
client.

[pfSense] pfsense, IPSec, and Mac OS X

2014-08-19 Thread Paul Galati
Anybody on the list using Mac OS X 10.6 or later and the built in Cisco IPSec 
Client connecting to pfSense with any reliability?  I am having a heck of a 
time getting the expected result.  I have a couple users that want to connect 
via IPSec and use the CUPC client to make phone calls.  When I initially setup 
the server and client according to different how-to’s on the web, I was able to 
connect and reach the internet as well as the internal networks and make phone 
calls.  Later that same day without changing a single piece of configuration, I 
am unable to connect because the negotiation failed.  It continues to not 
respond for many hours but at some point starts to respond again.  I have not 
been able to formulate proof of reason.  If I simply turn off NAT-T in Phase 1, 
I am able to connect every time I have tried BUT, I am not able to reach 
anything on the remote side despite receiving a valid IP address from the 
mobile client config. I believe I have the appropriate config in the rules for 
IPSec and LAN but I am not having much luck.

Anybody have any insight that might be useful for me?

I have some openVPN questions too but that will wait until IPSec is done.

 As Adam said, yes this can be done.  Also as Adam said, it's probably a good 
 idea to ask someone with a little bit of network experience.
 
 The only thing I have to add over Adam's reply is that, yes, pfSense should 
 natively be capable of using a WiFi connection as its WAN and a wired 
 network connection as its LAN.  If you set the WiFi interface to 
 Infrastructure (BSS) mode, it will connect to an existing wireless network. 
  The only caveat is that you need to make sure your wireless card is one of 
 the properly supported ones - otherwise you might end up with intermittent 
 dropouts and all kinds of unexplained problems.  Again, as Adam said, doing 
 it this way really should be your last resort, just because there are too 
 many things that could go wrong with it.  Finally, I should note that all of 
 this is true on paper, and I have not actually tested it myself in the field 
 - I don't have a spare wireless card.
 
 If all of Adam's other suggestions don't work, and you really need to go with 
 WiFi, Adam's other idea about using a travel router is actually something I 
 have done in practice at a construction site - the travel router and a 
 pfSense box are in the construction trailer connected to each other by 
 Ethernet, the travel router connects to a wireless network coming from 
 offsite, and the pfSense box sees the travel router as just another regular 
 network connection.  Performance was as good as could be expected from 
 long-range WiFi - poor, to say the least, but that was because of WiFi signal 
 strength, not because of the setup itself.  I used an Apple Airport Express 
 as my travel router, but there are others that may work better - and the 
 Airport Express is very hard to troubleshoot because it has no web interface.

My pfsense box is connected to the edge and has a public IP address, so private

using a private IP one hop upstream from his personal router.  When his packets 
reach the public internet, it appears to come from 216.14.x.x.

My question is why IP 216.14.x.x is being caught by the bogon filter even 
though it is not listed in CYMRU’s database.

Thanks for the location of the bogon list, did not know it was accessible 
locally.  That is a great help for future use.


All,
Thanks for the info.  As stated before, 216.14.64.0/20 is listed in the bogon 
list.  Translating that using an subnet calculator that is

216.14.64.1 - 216.14.79.254

The end users address is 216.14.79.x which is right at the tale end of that 
bogon list.

I will try to contact either Current (ISP) or Cymru to determine is the subnet 
scope should be adjusted.  I assume Current gained access to the class C and 
making it known may have fell through the cracks.

Anyway, thanks again for your assistance.

[pfSense] Bogon List

2014-05-22 Thread Paul Galati
Hello all,

I have a user that is coming in from 216.14.x.x and is getting stopped at the 
firewall by the bogonimator.  I tried looking for an accurate list of the IPs 
still on the list but all the lists I found does not have this number listed.  
I changed the bogon update from weekly to daily in hopes that maybe there was 
stale cache that might get updated and resolve the issue if it was in the 
window.  Where does pfsense obtain this list and is this IP on the list or 
could it be something else?  Turning off boron allowed him to log in.  
Re-enabling bogon created a block entry in the log and denied him entry.

The ISP is called Current, and the provide residential internet through the 
power lines.  The end user did have a power outage 8 days ago but has worked 
without issue prior.  I cannot say what his public IP was at that time but it 
does appear that there is a double-nat before he hits the public internet.  I 
skyped into his computer and looked at the WAN address of his router and saw a 
10.30.x.x address instead of the public number listed above.  I assume that is 
irrelevant to this conversation.

Your thoughts are appreciated.

Interesting.  I am using Apple’s Mail app in Mavericks to access gmail.com via 
IMAP.  Part of the sync process gmail does include a folder called archive.  My 
original message is in that folder but not in my mailbox.  I guess some 
listservs work differently.  I always thought that my messages were being 
moderated for some reason.

Thanks for the clarification.

 Normally yes, but with gmail accounts using the web front end, no.
 Gmail automatically ignores the message from the list that gets sent
 back to your address, for all mailing lists where it understands that
 it's a list (and they know mailman, the mailing list software we use).
 With IMAP or POP3 clients on Gmail you will see your own posts come
 through as a separate message in most mail clients. With Gmail
 otherwise, you have to check the list archive to verify it was sent.
 
 That isn't something that's changed recently. Gmail started doing that
 in roughly 2006-2007 IIRC (I've been using it since 2004). Prior to
 that change, you would have that list thread pop up into your inbox as
 unread when your own message went through. That's not something that's
 controlled by the mailing list, and I don't think it's something you
 can configure on the Gmail side.

2014-01-16 Thread Paul Galati
Here is an update to my situation now that I have tried a few things.  If I am 
reading this correctly, Apple’s Messages app does NOT do screen sharing or 
video sharing on its own iMessage platform.  If you request video sharing, that 
is handed off to the FaceTime app.  If you have a jabber, AIM, or Google Talk 
account configured and active, you can screen chat and video chat within the 
messages app.

I am an arse because I assumed that when I clicked either the video chat or the 
screen chat icon in messages, I was using Apple’s iMessage service to make the 
connection.  It turns out that I was actually initiating the use of Google 
Talk.  So that got me thinking.  I put both client computers on the same 
network and opened the FaceTime app on both.  Called each other and they both 
worked great.  I then put a client on the pf network and tried again.  They 
both worked as well, hmmm.  I put the 2 clients back on the same network, 
disabled iMessage, and tried to do video chat which defaulted to use Google 
Talk, that worked as expected.

Now, back to the pf box, I have 3 interfaces, WAN, LAN, and GUEST.  If I put 
one client on Lan and the other on Guest, the FaceTime app connects properly as 
you were reporting.  That does not allow me to do screen sharing since FaceTime 
uses the iMessage transport and does not support screen sharing.  Having both 
clients on the LAN interface using Messages with  Google Talk does work as 
hoped.  What does not work is Google Talk with one client on LAN and the other 
client on GUEST, which effectively created the same problem as I initially 
requested assistance for.

So now I am off to see what Google Talk is doing during the handshake that 
causes it to fail between interfaces on the pf box.  What logs would indicate 
what is being blocked?

Thanks for your time.

I must have something misconfigured.  Since I was not able to successfully 
create the right NAT and/or RULES to make this work, I decided to change the IP 
address of the client behind the pf firewall to a static address that does have 
a 1:1 NAT.  Now I am not able to get DNS replies, the browser says Looking up 
host and fails.  I am trying to configure this pf box to go live in a couple 
weeks.  I do have a server with a static 1:1 NAT that is working properly, but 
for whatever reason a what I thought was an identical NAT/RULE except the IP 
address is not resolving DNS, even if entered manually at the client.  I am 
obviously doing something wrong.

I tried enabling UPNP but that did not change the end result.  FaceTime rings 
the recipient, but they both time out waiting for a response from the other 
computer.

Other suggestion would be greatly appreciated.  I will report back if I find 
what is causing this not to function properly.

Thanks.
