Your limiters will no longer function if you are planning to continue using
NAT. Here is a link to the bug:

[pfSense] pfBlocker + Transparent Squid/SquidGuard

2016-01-13 Thread Ryan Clough
I am having an issue using pfBlocker with transparent Squid. If I allow
users on interface, pfBlocker rules are somehow bypassed and I am able to
access IPs from blocked countries. Has anyone else run into this? I would
be happy to provide any info that may help.

Here is some preliminary info:
*2.2.5-RELEASE * (amd64)
built on Wed Nov 04 15:49:37 CST 2015
FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p24

Packages:
AutoConfigBackup 1.34
Cron 0.3.4
mailreport 2.3_1
ntopng 0.8.2

Check your Timezone on the System::General Settings page. After I upgraded
it had been reset to Africa/Abidjan. So far this has been the only issue I
have had upgrading from 2.2.2 to 2.2.3. Thank you very much pfSense team!
We all appreciate your hard work!

Re: [pfSense] "Packages are currently being reinstalled in the background." since last night... nothing showing on the console...

2015-03-18 Thread Ryan Clough
The documentation for updating pfSense firmware recommends noting and
removing all installed packages before updating[1]. Then, after a
successful update, reinstall the packages that were noted. I have had very
good success using this method however, I updated to 2.2.1 last night
without removing installed packages and after the reboot it took about 2
hours for my Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU C2758 @ 2.40GHz with a 7200RPM
pfSenseMirror to complete the package re-installation. Other than a little
hiccup with Sarg; all is well. I would, if you can, just wait it out.

[pfSense] Traffic routing issue

2014-12-11 Thread Ryan Clough
I am hoping that one of you out there can assist me with this rather
interesting problem I am having. Let me set the stage.

I am running the latest stable version of pfSense:
2.1.5-RELEASE (amd64)
built on Mon Aug 25 07:44:45 EDT 2014
FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p16

I am running transparent Squid and Squidguard, and all IP ranges have
access to use the proxy.

I have two WAN connections, each with a handful of public IPs. I have
created an IP alias virtual IP of one of my public IPs on WAN1, which is
used to NAT to a web server.

We have an internal DNS server that resolves the domain name of a web
server to the local LAN IP address. So, all computers on unrestricted VLANs
access the web server without having to hit the pfSense router at all. This
works as expected and the valid certificate is served and the web page
loads.

We have one restricted VLAN that is used for guest WiFi access and this
VLAN is assigned external DNS servers and therefore resolve the domain name
to the public IP.

Now my problem. When connected to the guest WiFi on the restricted VLAN and
attempting to access the web server on its public IP, which is assigned to
a virtual IP on WAN1, I get served the certificate from the pfSense router.
I can tell that this is the pfSense self-signed certificate because of the
details of the certificate displayed in the warning. I also get this
behavior if I force a computer on an unrestricted VLAN, using the hosts
file, to resolve the host name of the web server to its public IP.

What is going on here? I can provide more information if needed. Thank you
for your time.

Thanks for your quick reply, Vick. By "looking", I mean I have not yet
purchased one but have a quote from our supplier. I have looked at the
C2758 but one of my requirements is RAID1. Also, I am not comfortable
deploying an SSD that will be running Squid. This router needs to have the
capability to run for years with minimal maintenance. We are planning to
deploy this as part of one of our products. Thanks again for your help.

[pfSense] NIC support

2014-10-13 Thread Ryan Clough
I am looking at the HP ProLiant DL320e Gen8 v2 and having trouble
determining whether or not the hardware is supported by pfSense
2.1.5-RELEASE. I found this thread(
https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=71523.0) and it seems like I am
going to have trouble with drivers. Here are the three hardware components
that concern me:

HP B120i on-board SATA controller
HP 332i on-board 2-port NIC (Broadcom BCM5720 chipset)
HP 361T PCIe 2-port NIC (Intel I350 chipset)

Can anyone confirm or deny this hardware's compatibility? Anyone out there
running on a Gen8 v2? I do not have the option to run pfSense in a virtual
environment.

Thanks,
Ryan
