Re: [pfSense Support] can't get to specific site(subaru.com)

2008-10-09 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
When troubleshooting any connection issue, a true harden way, is to 
start at the device you know works, then work your way back device by 
device/Cable by Cable until you find the problem.


After testing the ISP connection, a PC plugged directly into the pfSense 
should have been the next step. I've seen so much strange stuff with 
network equipment i don't take anything for granted anymore.


Glad you found the problem though

i just found the culprit. it is the wireless access point that these 
machines are connecting to. it's netgear wpn824(rangemax). when i plug 
directly into the router or another switch on my network i can access 
the sites with no problems.

That would appear to be the case, yes. You have to have some sort of
non-default settings on those hosts, most of our developers are Mac
users and would have run into this long ago.

If you can send me some capture files I'll take a look at what's
happening on the wire. I'll need one for your inside interface and one
for outside. Open two SSH sessions and run:

tcpdump -ni fxp0 -s 0 -w /tmp/wan.pcap host 1.2.3.4

replacing fxp0 with your real WAN interface, and 1.2.3.4 with the
public IP of the website you're having issues reaching. cisco.com is
probably a better one as it has a 1 day TTL and subaru.com has a 5
minute TTL, at least on the responses I'm getting. Hence there's a
chance subaru.com will resolve to a different IP at some point during
the capture where as cisco.com won't.

second tcpdump is the same as above, substituting fxp0 with your LAN
interface, and call that file lan.pcap.

Then try to access the site from a couple problem machines about 5
times or so, waiting about 30 seconds between. When done, ctrl-c on
both the tcpdumps.

Then download both those files on the Diagnostics - Command page and
email to me offlist.

[pfSense Support] multipe remote desktop connections/nat

2008-10-08 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
i need to allow multipe users with private static ip's to remote desktop to
multiple machines behind pfsense.

this pfsense box is on a private network(double nating).

if i simply create a port forward rule only one machine will be accessible
behind the pfsense box over port 3389.

i want to map each users static ip to a static ip behind the pfsense
firewall.

so user A can connect to host A behind pfsense box via port 3389 and user B
can connect to host B via port 3389 behind the pfsense firewall and so on
and so forth.

what should be my approach?

thanks,

Re: [pfSense Support] any comment or need to worry about the recent TCP/IP DoS found by Outpost24?

2008-10-03 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and Robert Lee's response to that:

In regards to Fyodor's
articlehttp://insecure.org/stf/tcp-dos-attack-explained.html
:
There are some really valid points made; While his article does describe
some of how sockstress works and why it is efficient, it does not describe
our attacks.

Jack would like to stress that turning off server side SYN-Cookie protection
will not help and will only make you open to syn flood attacks again (as
stated in Fyodor's article).

Also, scenarios that lead to systems being resource starved to the point of
requiring a reboot is very attack and target specific. It is not as
universal as causing a specific service to become unavailable. We have made
this clear in all public communications, but it is worth saying again



so it looks like we'll need to wait and see what these guys really have when
they disclose it on Oct. 17.

Check with your upstream provider, to make sure they are not blocking

Re: [pfSense Support] Vista's DHCP Issues

I've had users complain about this, once i show them XP works fine, I

doing some searching, I've found that Vista has some issues with DHCP. The 
full Microsoft Article is here:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233/EN-US/

In short, Vista needs to have it's DHCP broadcast flags modified to use DHCP on 
some routers and some non-Microsoft DHCP servers. I can only assume it is a 
problem with Vista and not the underlying DHCPD daemons as I don't believe any other OS's 
have this problem currently.

Just thought I'd post this to the list as I'm assuming some of you may run into 
the same problem at some point.

Did anyone look at the code?

if ($_POST['enableserial'] == yes)
$config['system']['enableserial'] = true;
else
unset($config['system']['enableserial']);

So you want to enable:

system
  enableserial/



I can see that in config.xml, but the beast ignores that att boot :(


  


I can confirm that also.. It's in my config.xml, but doesn't enable the

Re: [pfSense Support] LiveCD Serial Console Support?

2008-08-05 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]




The config.xml on the floppy disk is the exact same config.xml that the
Hard Drive install is using. Serial is enabled in advance menu when
using the LiveCD, I've tried disabling and enabling, but it seems that
no matter what, I can't get the serial console to work on the LiveCD

If anyone else wants to try, I use the following commands to copy my HD
config.xml to floppy disk.

Floppy needs to be formated to FAT prior to this

mkdir /floppy
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy
cp /conf/config.xml /floppy/conf/config.xml

Now when you boot the LiveCD, your configuration is exactly the same as
your HD version. From my testing it works great! 

I can't find anywhere in the config.xml that references the console
serial port. So I'm not even sure how pfSenses saves that setting.

Has anyone edited the LiveCD for custom config.xml files or other tweaks?
And if so, could you point me in the right direction.

  
  
Your best bet would be to enable the serial console option in System
- Advanced after restore.   Take note of the option that gets enabled
and add it to config.xml before restoring in an emergency, etc.

[pfSense Support] Broken RRD Graphs

2008-07-08 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]




I'm having a problem with RRD Graphs freezing/crashing on my embedded
pfsense boxes. Below is the log, apon restarting RRD, I got a file
system full message. I can see that /cf is at 107% capacity. I know
that RRD data Graphs are stored in the /var partition and that has
plenty of space. I'm not sure if they are related, but maybe someone
else can tell. 

After all of that I deleted all the RRD graphing data following the
instruction from a post this month. After one more restart of RRD
Graphs, the system log indicates it generated all the RRD graphs again,
and now I'm running smoothly with no more crashes. RRD Working!!

So it seems that the RRD data files had something to do with the
crashes. I had plenty of space where the data files are stored, so I'm
not sure what the deal is.

Re: [pfSense Support] Broken RRD Graphs

Scott,

We use 2gb CF cards. From what i gather you can't change the partition
settings in the embedded image because you are basically writing the
image of a hard drive to a compact flash card. So if the size of /cf is
a set limit, how could i possibly change this ahead of time. (Without
building my own image).

I'm not a FreeBSD expert but coming from the windows world, resizing a
partition is a nasty and avoid at all cost job. 

If it can be done, I'll figure how to do it, If not, I'll just live
without RRD graphs, no problem.

[pfSense Support] Aliases and Traffic Shaper?

2008-07-02 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm having a strange problem, possibly a bug with the traffic shaper GUI

If I create a traffic shaping rule with a Aliases in the ports section 
and save it, it works correctly. It also displays correctly in the rules 
list.


When i go back and edit that rule, the aliases is missing from the port 
section, and the ports are set to from:any to:any.  When i click save it 
saves it as ports:any to:any.


I've rebooted this box a couple of times, and no luck changing the 
outcome. It always defaults back to any any when editing a rule.


This is a Soekris 5501 using the 1.2 embedded version.

Adam

BTW this is a Soekris 5501 using 1.2 embedded PFsense.

  
  
There really should be no difference from embedded and full
installation in this regard.   I would be surprised if this was a bug
since 1.2 has been tested pretty thoroughly.

[pfSense Support] Load Balancing with Embedded version?

2008-06-26 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Is load balancing supported with the embedded version?  I ask because 
when I try to add a load balancing pool, I hit save and apply changes. 
But no pool is listed, it's like PFsense is refusing to add it for some 
reason. I also checked the XML config and did not see it listed anywhere. 

I was able to make this work on the full version of PFSense, so i know 
it's not a config issue.

Depends on if your incoming or outgoing.  Incoming requires an
additional item to be setup (virtual server).  If you want to load
balance outgoing traffic select the load balancing pool on the gateway
dropdown of firewall rules.

Re: [pfSense Support] Two IPs on Lan interface

2008-06-16 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Will this be a feature in 1.3??  I was actually quite shocked the first 
time i found out m0n0wall or PFSense didn't support secondary IP 
Address's. I decided to just use another NIC card for a second LAN 
subnet and plug both interfaces into the same switch. This will actually 
scale better, because now we have the option of creating totally 
separate physical network.


Thanks for another work around and script!!

Bryan Derman wrote:

I've add another IP to the LAN interface by creating an alias on the LAN
interface.  Via the shell (either use Diagnostics - Command or login via
SSH) issue the applicable ifconfig command:

e.g., to create an IP alias of 172.16.1.1 for the LAN where the LAN is on
the interface xy0:
ifconfig xy0 alias 172.16.1.1/24

e.g., to remove an IP alias of 172.16.1.1 from the LAN where the LAN is
on the interface xy0:
ifconfig xy0 remove 172.16.1.1

Such a setting will disappear upon reboot, but if you create a script and
place it in the directory
/usr/local/etc/rc.d
it'll get executed at the end of the startup:

e.g., create a shell script named
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/addLANalias.sh
that contains
---
#!/bin/sh

if test $1 = start
then
   /bin/echo -n 'Adding LAN alias to sk0 ... '
   /sbin/ifconfig sk0 alias 172.16.1.1/24

then issue the commands:
/bin/chmod 755 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/addLANalias.sh
/usr/sbin/chown root:wheel /usr/local/etc/rc.d/addLANalias.sh

/etc/rc.d/* files get executed by /etc/rc via /etc/rc.start_packages at
bootup.

Hope that helps.

It appeared that my WAN instead of LAN typo in the Questions

I have a document that describes in detail the steps required to

I never received nor found that document but I've used the alias strategy
ever since and not encountered any issues other than the fact that the
Status - Interfaces web page will report the interface alias instead of
the one originally configured.

I only mention this because there may be a better way to do this (my
level of expertise in this area is only enough to make me _real_
dangerous).

Specifically, I don't mean to be critical of Chris as I know how easy it
is to miss an email, etc. and the web site (and documentation stuff) was
also in much transition at that point in time.  There's ample evidence of
Chris' excellent responses, including to other questions of mine, and I
very much appreciate an respect his key involvement and the results.  In
fact, there's an all-too-small percentage of commercial software
products, let alone open-source projects, that have the overall quality
that I've seen with pfSense, its support and even it's overall focus and
business.

Re: [pfSense Support] Review New Hardware Setup

2008-06-13 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]




Are main CPU hog is the Captive Portal, with 50-100+ people trying to
login at the same time, it can eat up the CPU big time. If i turn
captiveportal off, are 5501s barely peak over 30% cpu, with it on, I'm
seeing 100% spikes all the time.

I can't see me ever having a pipe bigger then 50mb/s or a DS3. So I'm
pretty sure the box will be able to handle that throughput without a
problem. 

Thanks for the input!

Not necessarily at this time. The biggest factor in pps throughput is
L1 cache size. AMD procs used to have significantly more L1 cache than
Intels and hence were much more scalable in pps throughput, but I
believe there isn't much if any difference now. Depends on which ones
you're comparing.

But we're discussing multi-Gbps and 500+ Kpps capable hardware when a
relatively puny 5501 is almost adequate now, and only looking to
accommodate a 5* increase in load. Any new system you buy today is
going to push 20 times what a 5501 will, and have power to spare.

Make sure you get Intel PRO/1000 PCI-e cards, even if you just have a
100 Mb network at this time. It's not much more money and gives you
significantly more scalability.

[pfSense Support] Review New Hardware Setup

2008-06-12 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
We are currently using Sokrisis 5501 with the embedded version of 
PFsense, they work great, but we are noticing that around 150-200 users 
the CPU starts maxing out.


So we need to build a stronger box, here are the specs an employee came 
up with. With this box we want to have up to 1,000 users. Using captive 
portal, and traffic shaper.


I have already recommend we use a Intel pro 10/100 nic, and not a SMC 
nic. Anything else that is not supported, or known to be flaky?


Also have people had better luck with Intel or AMD based boards?

by default, the LAN answers as 192.168.1.1 so just take a laptop or
other computer, right it to IP 192.168.1.2, and then configure your
box as you see fit.  or you can ssh into it and set the IP that  
way if

you prefer.

you don't *have* to have the serial port to do the initial config.

[pfSense Support] Alternative Full Install Installation Methods

2008-01-26 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello,

I am trying to do a full install of pfSense onto a CF card. I have  
tested the card extensively and it works perfectly. I want a full  
install, not an embedded one, so I can utilize packages.


When I boot the live CD in VMWare, it gets stuck while installing. I  
am using a USB card reader. I have tried ACPI off, removing all  
unnecessary devices from the virtual machine, using different  
machines, etc. and the result is always the same. Even after days of  
sitting there, we're at the exact same percentage (usually 35 or 41)  
and this command: /usr/local/bin/cpdup -vvv -I -o /usr /mnt/usr


Being that I can't seem to find any good work around and nobody on the  
list has been able to suggest anything that works, I would like to  
install this software another way. Are there directions on how to  
execute a full install from inside FreeBSD? I can fairly easily set  
that up in VMWare, and then I can get a lot more control and access to  
troubleshoot any issues that occur with installation.

Sean,

I need to do a full installation to a compact flash card. I do not  
want an embedded install due to the lack of flexibility - e.g. no

largely unusable.


Therefore, I am booting the live ISO in VMWare, then installing to the  
CF card.


Because it is stuck, there is no error, no log, the system is totally

[pfSense Support] Attempting to install pfSense; gets stuck

2008-01-24 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello,

I am attempting to install pfSense on a 2 GB CF card for use on a PC  
Engines motherboard without video (alix2c3.)


I have used the live disc under VMWare and connected the card via USB  
reader. Everything works great and the install begins, but then hangs  
forever (overnight at least) at 35%, which is:

/usr/local/bin/cpdup -vvv -I -o /usr /mnt/usr

I have tested the card and reader extensively; everything works. I  
have re-attempted the above process several times.


How do I work around this?

Also, how do I put reasonable settings onto here, so that I can avoid  
setting up a console with my alix board? I'd prefer to have simple  
DHCP auto-configuration on at least one NIC and SSH/HTTP admin access  
working immediately after booting.


Thank you!

How long should I give it? I already gave it roughly 4-6 hours...

I can write the whole card full of data in about 15 minutes using the

[pfSense Support] extreme brdiging with pfsense

Hi,
I would like to use a pfsense virtual appliance to connect
real physical vlans on a catalyst switch with the vmnets
that exists in a vmware server.

The idea is to overcome the limitation on non-esx3 vmware
installations allowing to bridge the virtual machines to
real vlans using a single trunk cable between the switch and
the vmware host.

I would like to know which are the limits involved in
bridging several interfaces in pfsense.

Actually I don't have a switch handy so I tried the
following setup that seemed to work:


realpc--vmnet1--(lan)left_virtual_pfsense(wan on
vlan501)--vmnet5--(wan on
vlan501)right_virtual_pfsense(lan)--vmnet4--virtualpc

The realpc and the virtualpc are on different lans, and the
pfsense will talk to each other like there was a trunk
between them, this was done beacause of the lack of a .1q
switch.


The realpc and the virtualpc were able to see each other at
L2 level.

The question is: will I be able to do it on 8 vlan using 16
nic, 8 on the same interface(wan or other) and the other 8
on each vmnet0-7?

TIA,

Giuseppe Marullo

PS: this thing rocks, dudes

[pfSense Support] OPENVPN Interface

2006-09-17 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I am following the howto
(http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Setting_up_OpenVPN_with_pfSense) and I
do not have an openvpn interface (tun interface).  Is this because I am
also using the pptp vpn? or has this part changed in rc2?


Thanks

[pfSense Support] advanced outbound nat interfering with ipsec tunnel?

2006-06-09 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi,

I just updated to latest releng_1 and it still has this same problem.

I have a carp+dual wan setup and I'm trying to get outbound load balancing
to work, but when I make changes to the advanced outbound nat rules to work
towards getting load balancing to work, it causes my ipsec tunnel to stop
getting packets. What I mean by that is that the ipsec tunnel still
extablishes, but traceroutes to the tunnel return addresses on the public
internet ( whereas they didn't with the previous outbound nat setting - and
when ipsec was actually working ).

Without further ado, here's what I changed the outbound nat rules to that
caused it to stop working:

iface: WAN2
src: 192.168.0.0/24
src port: *
dst: ! 192.168.0.0/24
dst port: *
nat addr: * ( no carp on WAN2 unfortunately )
nat port: *
static port: no

iface: WAN
src: 192.168.0.0/24
src port: *
dst: ! 192.168.0.0/24
dst port: *
nat addr: x.x.218.245 ( my public wan carp ip )
nat port: *
static port: no

I don't have enough public ip's on WAN2 to carp it, however the ipsec
tunnel is currently using WAN2's connection ( it's the only ip my client's
router - the other end of the tunnel - is configured to accept )

The LAN firewall rule allowing outbound traffic is:

iface: lan
proto: *
source: lan net
port: *
dest: *
dest port: *
gateway: x.x.231.154 ( WAN2's gateway - WAN's isp was having trouble
yesterday )

I have just restored my router configuration (again) and my ipsec tunnel is
working again. Here are the adv outbound nat rules that allow the tunnel to
work:

iface: WAN2
src: 192.168.0.96/31
src port: *
dst: *
dst port: *
nat addr: * ( no carp on WAN2 unfortunately )
nat port: *
static port: no

iface: WAN
src: 192.168.0.0/24
src port: *
dst: *
dst port: *
nat addr: x.x.218.245 ( my public wan carp ip )
nat port: *
static port: no

I was told that in order for outbound load balancing to work correctly
especially in combination with carp, you have to create two outbound nat
rules, one for each wan. However, when I try to do this, it causes my vpn
traffic to not get caught by the ipsec tunnel and is instead getting sent
to the unencrypted internet ( as evidence by my tracert's ). What am I
doing wrong, or have I possibly discovered a bug.

Please advise, thank you.

Re: [pfSense Support] Upgrade from m0n0 to pfSense?

2005-08-23 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Crud, that explains a lot...

I at least think that I have the outbound NAT entries setup for WAN and OPT1:

nat on xl2 from 192.168.1.0/24 to any - (xl2)
nat on xl1 from 192.168.1.0/24 to any - (xl1)

I seem to be stuck trying to create an outbound rule.  Everything I
try says pass in in the User-defined rules section of rules.debug. 
:(

I must be missing something.  How can this be done when the second WAN
interface has a static IP?
  
   Possibly, possibly not.Check /tmp/rules.debug for the rule that
   your adding and please post it here to see if the gateway portion is
   being added correctly for the rule in question.
 
  # NAT Inbound Redircts
  ...
  rdr on xl2 proto tcp from any to  port 5900 - 192.168.1.230 port 5900
  rdr on xl1 proto tcp from any to  port 5900 - 192.168.1.230 port 5900
 
  # User-defined rules follow
  ...
  pass in quick on $WANII proto tcp from any to { 192.168.1.230 } port =
  5900 keep state  label USER_RULE: NAT Allow VNC to buzz via WAN2
  ...
 
 That's inbound.  The multi-wan code we're talking about is outbound.
 By default inbound traffic to an IP will return out the
 interface/gateway it came in on (as long as you have a gateway setup
 in the interface config).  It's up to the user to get the inbound
 traffic on the right link, via DNS, or IP, or whatever other trick.
