[pfSense] pfSense box not visible from LAN, only from WAN

2013-05-08 Thread Marco
Hi,

I'm a new pfSense user and just set up my first box, which is a
wireless access point. The problem is that I can't ping my pfSense
box (or use the web configurator) from the LAN side, but both work
from the WAN. Here are some details about my setup:

WAN: ethernet, IP assigned via DHCP
LAN: wireless in AP mode, no IP configured, but obtained via DHCP from the WAN
bridge: bridges WLAN and LAN interfaces, no IP configured

I can connect to the access point and the hosts get an IP address.
If I scan the network from the LAN (wireless connection) I get this
result:

  10.101.101.1  (gateway)
  10.101.101.32 (the host I'm scanning from, LAN)
  10.101.101.63 (some other host, WAN)
  more hosts…

However, if I scan the network from the WAN I get this result:

  10.101.101.1  (gateway)
  10.101.101.28 (the pfSense box)
  10.101.101.63 (the host I'm scanning from, WAN)
  more hosts…

I have no firewalls rules, except one per interface, which permits
all traffic. I can provide more information if necessary, just let
me know.

How can I make the pfsense box visible from the LAN side? Am I doing
something wrong or is this expected?

Regards
Marco

 This would be your problem.

This was the problem, indeed. I set the LAN to DHCP and I can see
the pfSense box and access the web configurator.

 I suspect it's expected behaviour. If you want to use pfSense purely
 as an access point, then you're probably best off not using LAN at
 all (unless you need filtering). Bridge WAN with your WLAN interface
 and LAN becomes effectively redundant.

I think I didn't make myself clear, sorry. The LAN *is* the WLAN. I
have just two interfaces, one ethernet (WAN) and one WLAN (LAN), and
then a bridge across both (OPT1).

Thanks for the very quick response. It works now.

 I am not sure what you are precisely trying to do… 

This box is a replacement for an old Debian AP I set up a few years
ago which worked flawlessly but died recently. It did not do any
filtering, it was just a bridge between wired and wireless network
using hostap and bridge-utils to provide wireless internet access
for about a dozen users. Since everybody is talking about pfSense I
thought I could give it a try for this setup.

 But if your idea is to have a neutral wireless AP, you will want to: 
 
 1. bridge the WAN and WLAN together. 

That's what I did. The missing IP address (I still don't know why
this is necessary, but nevermind) on the WLAN network was the cause
of my trouble. It's working now.

 2. deactivate all firewalling on your box (advanced network or
 firewall settings). 

That's what I did.

 3. In case you want to filter, you might want to change the
 settings in advanced so that you filter on the bridge rather than
 on each interface (in the sysctl pane). 

When time permits I will definitely look into the features pfSense
provides to improve the network quality. I'm especially interested
in prioritizing skype traffic. That has been the biggest problem in
the past. During the peak hours video calls are not possible. Maybe
the traffic shaper could be of help. On the other hand I read that
skype is very hard to shape.


Thank you too for the response.

[pfSense] Hosts in LAN can't see each other

2013-05-12 Thread Marco
Hi,

as described in another post a few days ago, my setup is as follows:

ethernet - WAN
WLAN - LAN
OPT1 - bridge(WAN,LAN)

The firewall is switched off and communication from LAN to WAN works
flawlessly. But the hosts in the LAN (wireless) can't see each
other. They can only see the hosts in the WAN including the pfSense
box.

What do I need to configure that the hosts in the LAN can
communicate with each other?

[pfSense] AR9280 network adapter not working

2013-12-11 Thread Marco
Hi,

I can't get my wireless access point to work. I have an Atheros
AR9280, a chip which appears to be well supported. After activating
the interface the network is not visible from other hosts and I get
the following log entries. I'm not sure if that's related to the
actual problem.

What is hal status 14?

Furthermore, if I go to the Status → Wireless tab and do a

issue or just a configuration error. I'd be glad if someone could
help me to debug this.

[pfSense] Hostname resolution of OpenVPN-connected clients

2015-11-11 Thread Marco
Hello,

we use pfSense since quite a while with success and are very happy overall.

Recently we set up OpenVPN and are facing a DNS issue. Hosts in the LAN can be
addressed using the hostname (thanks to “Register DHCP leases in the DNS
Resolver”) which is working perfectly fine. Hosts on the OpenVPN network can
also resolve hosts in the LAN. However, from the LAN the OpenVPN-connected
hosts cannot be reached (only via IP address, not via hostname). Research
shows¹ that VPN-connected clients don't register their hostnames in the DNS
which is unfortunate and would probably solve the issue we face. The answer
seems to be¹:

> Would have to statically assign them via client overrides and manually add
> to DNS forwarder for them to resolve.

This would work for static hosts that are always on the VPN, but this wouldn't
work for mobile hosts (e.g. employee's laptops) which have a different IP
address, depending on whether they are connected to the LAN or connected via
OpenVPN.

How to access the mobile hosts via the same hostname regardless if
they are connected to the LAN or VPN?

I've never dealt with RADIUS. Seems like a bit like overkill to just

Thanks for the thorough answer. It seems it's not pfSense that is at

Indeed, the correct domain is passed to the client. That confirms
it's a client issue and has nothing to do with pfSense.

[pfSense] Disable DHCP domain-name request

2015-11-20 Thread Marco
We receive the interface network configuration on the WAN via DHCP.
This works, however somehow our ISP or the modem pushes a domain
name to the pfSense box which is undesirable.

I assume that the DHCP client requests the domain name. I have set
our domain name in

  System → General Setup → Domain

But it still keeps appearing in the network. So the solution would
be to remove the “domain-name” part from the requests list. There is
the form field

  Interfaces → WAN → DHCP client configuration → Advanced → Request Options

What I want to do is to remove “domain-name” from this list. But
it's empty. Therefore I assume it's using some default values.

How can I remove the “domain-name” from the DHCP request list
without altering anything else? Or if this is the wrong approach,
how to ignore the domain being pushed on the network by the ISP?

I have set the domain name there. It seems redundant, but I've also
set the domain name in the DHCP server setting. However, on a
connected host the full qualified domain name is still set to the
ISP provided domain name. Running “hostname” on the pfSense box
returns the correct one, though.

Same here. Not that I'm a network expert, but I've set up five
pfSense installations and port forwarding has always been an easy
task which worked by just configuring the NAT rule.

If the receiving machine refuses the connection, I would not be able
to successfully "port test" it from the pfSense box and I would see
incoming packets with wireshark (I believe). Therefore, I suspect an
issue with the port forwarding.

> I've been bitten by selinux before and more recently, by firewalld.

Not installed and (therefore I hope) not used.

Thanks for the support and confirming that it's not something
obvious. Will investigate later.

You mean when scanning from outside? I ran a Packet Capture on

No clue if the ISP device has a concept of DMZ. I configure it as
“Exposed Host”, so all communication is actually forwarded to the
pfSense box. I've set up numerous of those devices in different
locations and that was always sufficient.

On the ISP device? No, not yet. I guess tomorrow I'll clear the ISP
devices' config and also start off with a vanilla pfSense config.

I'm not really used to debugging with pfSense, especially the
logging features. What's the best way to check if that packet is
blocked by pfSense somehow? I tried

Status → System Logs → Firewall → Normal View → Advanced Log Filter

I checked “Block”, then entered Port: 8000 and “Apply Filter” and it
shows “No logs to disply”. That means that the packet is not blocked
by an implicit or explicit firewall rule, right?

[pfSense] Port forwards don't work on one machine

2018-02-11 Thread Marco
Hi,

I have set up port forwarding multiple times in the past and it has always
worked. But I now have a machine that fails to forward a port. No clue why.
Maybe I'm missing the obvious here.

My network:

  Internet -> ISP provided “NAT device” -> pfSense (2.4.2-RELEASE-p1)

For debugging purposes I simplified the setup, turned off IDS, pfBlockerNG,
used IPs instead of aliases.

1) The port forward from the WAN to 10.0.30.21 is set up.

https://i.imgur.com/V8vlN1Z.png

2) A corresponding WAN rule is created as well:

https://i.imgur.com/N7ulwha.png

  On another machine this already is enough to get it working. But not on this
  one. Nmap shows “filtered”.

3) Confirming the port 8000 is actually open on 10.0.30.21:

https://i.imgur.com/KcaSP6T.png

  Yes, it is.

4) Now testing from the external IP:

https://i.imgur.com/QnWQuIO.png

  Nope!

  Again using an external service:

https://i.imgur.com/v4KaivE.png

  No, James!

5) States:

6) Packet capture:

I guess it's all correct, works on another machine.

nope

pfSense is the default gateway

It is, see

I guess the states table and packet capture should be empty if that's the

No clue, haven't configured anything virtual.

True, pfSense is not the border router, ISP provided “NAT gateway” is. Device
is configured to forward everything to the pfSense box, though.

WAN is default gateway

didn't configure floating rules

not the case

UPnP is not used

I guess I'm missing the obvious here, since port forwards are rather
straightforward in pfSense and have never given me troubles in the past. A
nudge in the right direction is appreciated.

I ran a wireshark on the destination and it received packets when
“port testing” from the pfSense, but not when using external access
(e.g. canyouseeme.org)

The first two lines show the external IP access to the 8000 port,
then comes the pfSense port test.

done, see above.

Why does this work then?:

I can access it locally and pfSense can also access it. Testing from
my laptop now. Actual server is a real machine on another network.

Thanks for the quick response.

Indeed, it was.

I redid the whole pfSense config and the issue persisted. Then I
redid the ISP device config and it worked. In the end I changed
nothing, same config as before, but now it works for some magical
reason.

Thanks to all of you for the support and sorry for the noise (of
having nothing to do with pfSense).

[pfSense] Host override without host part

2018-04-12 Thread Marco
Hi,

I need assistance setting up a host override. I successfully set up
a host override for the www host:

  # Services → DNS → Resolver → General Settings →  Host Overrides
  # works fine
  www.foobar.com → 10.0.10.10

However, I also need an override for the domain part:

  # how to do that?
  foobar.com → 10.0.10.10

I can't leave the host part empty. Pfsense doesn't allow for that.
Any ideas?

It does indeed. I tried to leave it empty and got an error message.
No clue what I did. Works as expected. Sorry for the noise and
thanks for the quick response.
