As mentioned by Jostein in another post, it depends on your VM host: VMWare, 
hyper-v, virtual box, all have options to attach an ISO to a VM. Google is your 
friend! 

Good luck!

I had the same problem on Hetzner with just one IP: I had set that on 
the pfSense and would reach the VM-Host via NAT. After about an hour the 
connection stopped.

My solution was to change the MAC of the pfSense to the MAC of the real 
network card (and obviously change the MAC on the card); my assumption 
is that Hetzner does some clever stuff with anti-spoofing.

Since you need an IP on both the host and the VM you probably can't do 
anything without talking to Hetzner about this.

 There are no IOP or throughput limits on the free version of the ESXi

Hmm. I wonder why my file transfers never exceed 10MB/sec then… I’ve

If there’s someone here that would be interested in giving me a hand

[pfSense] load balancing between multiple IPSec tunnels

2015-05-20 Thread Tiernan OToole
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA256

Morning all.

Might be a stupid question (or even idea) but i will ask anyway.

I have a server in Germany with a PFSense VM on it. I also have a
PFSesne machine in Dublin. The machine in Germany has a 1Gb uplink,
and the machine in Dublin has 2 cable modems at 240 down 24 up and a
VSDL link at about 100 down 20 up.

I have managed to get a single IPSec tunnel working between 1 of the
Cable modems and the German box, but now i am wondering about getting
2 more (one for each connection) running and balancing all three...
Since they would be hitting the same machine, could it work?

Before anyone shouts, i know there is an overhead on IPSec tunnels,
but given that the upstream of a single connection i have maxes out at
24mb, and the upstream between 3 should (theoretically) be 68, even
with an overhead, it should (hopefully) be more than 24mb/s...

So, is any of this possible? or practical?

Thanks.

 People have done it.  I have tried it with OpenVPN and while I got
 it working, the connections I used were the not the best type of
 connections to the scenario.  They were wireless.  I have yet to
 see any tests posted from other people doing it.
 
 The connections that I used were very latent.  I did it all
 manually with Debian boxes.
 
 I think latency is a big problem because of how layer2 bonding
 works and how it handles packets.  If I remember correctly it likes
 symmetric connections too.  Or at least two connections with the
 same upstream and downstream.
 
 You could try it but optimally you would want to stick with layer
 three as this is totally different then bonding two T1's or DSL
 modems together. They are not tunnelling Layer2 over Layer3.
 
 Fail over with this tunnelling method worked very well though when
 I tried it.  But so would layer3.
 
 The test results I remember from my experiment were only marginally
 faster but it really would have been nice to try on some wired
 connections that have some stability and I would think may be able
 to sync at some level.
 
 I am by no means a bonding expert.  I documented some of my journey
 here if you are interested:

[pfSense] MultiWan and Transparent Proxy and PFSnese 2.2

2015-05-15 Thread Tiernan OToole
Morning all.

Might be a stupid question, but here goes nothing...

I have a PFSense 2.2 box with 3 WAN links (2x240mb and a 70mb). I have 
transparent Squid running, but all
traffic only goes to the default WAN connection (WAN1). I have found a few 
articles on how to get squid to use
the multi wan gateway, but all are either very old (pre 2.1) or broke my web 
server (I'm hosting sites in house).

Is there a definitive guide for how to do this properly on 2.2?

I have done this, there is overhead involved, and bonding tap connections.  I 
tried this with very latent and slow connections, and I did not have good luck 
with it, and while my notes are not detailed/organized as well as they should 
be you can have a look here:

http://wiki.hackspherelabs.com/index.php?title=Connection_and_VPN_Bonding

I did have some luck with stable connections, but I still had to hurry though 
it, so no official information.

I really think you may have better luck bonding the symmetric connections.  
There is also different types of bonding you can experiment with.

I've tried this on even relatively fast (80/20 FTTC) connections, and
performance is still a far cry from the combined total of the
connections involved. Based on my limited testing it was very much a
case of diminishing returns: adding a second connection to the mix
increased overall throughput by around 40%, but adding a third
connection to that mix only increased things by about 10%.

I had similar experiences using PPP bonding, and using Mikrotik's own
EoIP tunnels, so pfSense isn't the limiting factor. As I understand it,
the problem is usually packets arriving out of order at the far end
leading to retransmissions of the apparently 'missing' packets.

In my experience, a mix of load balancing and policy-based routing
nearly always works better than link aggregation on variable-speed WAN
connections.

Kind regards,

Chris

Subject: Re: [pfSense] Dynamic DNS and Route 53


Just three things to add to what Brian said.

For Windows hosts, run ipconfig /flushdns to clear the cache. (You can also 
use /displaydns to set what's in the cache, but you're going to have to ease 
through the entire thing so it's probably not worth it.)

If you are using Google Chrome (on any platform), you will also need to clear 
its cache. Go to chrome://net-internals, click  DNS, and click the clear 
button.

Finally, the easiest way to see the raw request and response is probably by 
opening up the PHP file that runs DNS updates and adding a bunch of echo 
statements.  I don't have a pfSense box in front of me at the moment to see 
which file it is, but I'm guessing it's not too hard to find. Just make sure to 
remove your changes when you are done.

[pfSense] Multi WAN IPv6

2015-03-09 Thread Tiernan OToole
Morning all.


Just reading though the docs and found the following:


https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Multi-WAN_for_IPv6


and


https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Using_IPv6_with_a_Tunnel_Broker


But there is a problem... The Multi-WAN one assumes that both WAN connections 
give IPv6 addresses, which in my case is false, and the Tunnel Broker assumes 
you have one WAN connection... Last time i tried this, mind you with a 
different router, all traffic went though one connection (the one the tunnel 
broker knew about) and nothing went though the rest...


Any one done this before?


Thanks.

The pfSense config file is pretty standard XML, so you could always knock 
something together in your scripting language of choice to batch add the config 
sections you need.

I've done it in the past in a few lines of PHP when adding a large range of NAT 
rules for a client (one port to each machine, but 50+ machines on their LAN).

Kind regards,

Chris

Re: [pfSense] Dual Port NIC ports

2015-02-21 Thread Tiernan OToole
My PFSense machine has a single Dual Port gigabit Intel Nic and 2 Quad port 
nics, as well as a single port nic and an onboard nic. All, bar the dual port 
nic are on PCI-Express ports. The Dual port nic is a PCIX card in a PCI slot...

I think once you have the bandwidth on the motherboard to support it, you 
should be grand. Checking Wikipedia, the slowest PCI-Express connections are 
250Mbytes (2 Gigabits) per second for a 1x slot. And then multiply that by the 
number of Xes in the slot (the cards I have are 4x cards and are on either 4 or 
8x slots. 4x card is 8Gigabits a second). Different generations give different 
speeds too... more details here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express

Long story short, I don't think it matters as long as you have a fast enough 
bus... biggest advantage is lower space requirements... biggest disadvantage I 
can think is if you lose one card, you lose booth ports...

Hi,

Is there any advantage or disadvantage to using the the two port on a dual port 
NIC vs. one port each on two different dual port NICs?

I am building a new box, and it has two dual port Intel NICs (as well as a 
legacy Intel NIC and a couple of Marvels on the mobo).

Does it matter at all which interfaces I put on which ports of those dual port 
NICs? A lot of data (video frames) is frequently moved between the DMZ and the 
LAN. So I would want that to be the fastest.

(Sorry if this goes through twice. I sent from the wrong address the first time 
and it was rejected.)

 Are you talking about squid or light squid? Aren't they different 
 packages?
 
 Squid logs the number of bytes transferred, which means it can write 
 the log entry only after the connection is closed the time stamps 
 seems to be the one of when the log entry was written, not when the 
 connection was opened. When is a streaming connection closed?
 
 Perhaps more to the point, what port does the stream use? Is it one 
 handled by squid in the first place?

 Start by making sure that traffic is actually hitting the rule.  Enable 
 logging on the rule and/or run a packet capture on the pfSense box with the 
 interface set to the WAN link, proto UDP port 5060.

 You could also do a pcap on the LAN interface with the IP of the PBX
 to see both directions.  Install Wireshark obn your PC to look deeply
 into the pcap (download button)

 Once you get SIP to work which is usually pretty easy, then you get to 
 diagnose why you get one way audio (RTP).  Hopefully that wont happen.
 Symmetric RTP is your friend here ...

 Another thing to watch out for is SIP ALGs upstream of the pfSense and making 
 sure that your VoIP system knows its external IP address.

 Firewall/NAT, Add, interface = WAN1, proto TCP, src addr and port

 It works on port 80! Why not SIP?!

 Start by making sure that traffic is actually hitting the rule.  Enable 
 logging on the rule and/or run a packet capture on the pfSense box with the 
 interface set to the WAN link, proto UDP port 5060.

 You could also do a pcap on the LAN interface with the IP of the PBX 
 to see both directions.  Install Wireshark obn your PC to look deeply 
 into the pcap (download button)

 Once you get SIP to work which is usually pretty easy, then you get to 
 diagnose why you get one way audio (RTP).  Hopefully that wont happen.
 Symmetric RTP is your friend here ...

 Another thing to watch out for is SIP ALGs upstream of the pfSense and making 
 sure that your VoIP system knows its external IP address.

 Cheers
 Jon

When I created the nat rule, add associated filter rule is default... There is 
a filter rule for each port...

As for the lock down, the plan is to lock it down when it works!

What did you select for “Filter Rule Association” ?
If I recall correctly, selecting ‘pass’ won’t work in a multi-WAN environment; 
you need to let it create a linked filter rule.

(as an aside, unless you specifically want SIP calls from the internet at 
large, you might want to lock down your incoming SIP rules to only allow 
connections from your SIP supplier - there are just too many SIP attacks out 
there these days to leave it open to the world unless you really need to)

Kind regards,

Chris

Re: [pfSense] Migrating from RouterOS to PFSense

2015-02-11 Thread Tiernan OToole
Hi WebDawg.

Thanks for the reply. I have been looking at these floating rules, but might 
have gotten something wrong.

I have a floating rule which says:

Proto TCP IPv4, source and port are *, destination BBC (alias to their ip 
block) port is * gateway is my UK VPN server, queue none, schedule none.

If I tell my open VPN client to not use the routing, BBC wont work... If I do, 
then all my traffic looks like its coming from the UK (BBC and others) but all 
traffic is not flowing out though the VPN... Im a little confused to this...

In the mail below I ask:
 I think thats all the major issues i have... I think (but could be 
 wrong) i have the second one working, but i would like to know if 
 there is a better way of doing it then as follows:

 Firewall, Rules, LAN and i have a connection that says Dest is IP 
 block, dest port *, source is LAN Net,  source IP is *, gateway is 
 upstream i want to send to.
And you answer:
 Seems right, your are going to need floating for the other gateway direction.

How do you mean by this? 

Thanks again.

 Good morning all.

 For the year or so, i have been running Microtik Router OS on either 
 their own hardware or my own hardware, and all has mostly been good, 
 bar the fact the OS wont see more than 2Gb of ram and my machine has 8...

 Anyway, i decided to install PFsense 2.2 on a new hard drive and 
 plugged in into my existing hardware, but now i have some questions 
 about getting this fully working the same way it worked on RouterOS.

 First, some background. The machine in question is an old HP Proliant 
 ML110
 G5 server with an Intel Core2Quad, 8Gb ram, i think its a 500Gb hdd 
 (just grabbed the first one i could fix) and a mix of network cards 
 giving a total of 12 GigE connections.  There are 3 WAN connections (2 
 Cable modems at
 200/20 and a VDSL at 100/20, closer to 70ish.) The cable modems give 
 out public IPs (they are in Bridged mode) and the machine gets an IP via DHCP.
 The VDSL is PPPoE.

 I have managed to get a somewhat basic load balancing setup working, 
 and it does seem to work grand. Speedtest.net, which now seems to be 
 multithreaded, is giving me download speeds of anywhere from 420 - 480mb/s.

 Now, the real question:

 In RouterOS i could do the following:

 Any incoming traffic (from the LAN) from a given IP address, could be 
 routed though a given upstream connection, be that a specific WAN 
 connection or a VPN connection.

You should be able to do this with firewall rules and specifying gateways.
*https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Multi-WAN#Overview

 Any Incoming traffic (from the LAN) to a given IP address or network 
 (for example BBC) could be routed though a given upstream provider, 
 again WAN or VPN

I think you would need to use floating rules for this.

Firewall rules on Interface and Group tabs process traffic in the Inbound 
direction and are processed from the top down, stopping at the first match. 
Where no user-configured firewall rules match, traffic is denied. Only what is 
explicitly allowed via firewall rules will be passed.
*https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Firewall_Rule_Basics


Floating Rules are advanced Firewall Rules which can apply in any direction and 
to any or multiple interfaces. Floating Rules are defined under Firewall  
Rules on the Floating tab.
*https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/What_are_Floating_Rules


 All incoming requests that come from a particular WAN connection (eg, 
 web web request on port 80) will return over that connection, so 
 traffic requested on port 80 on WAN 1 will be returned to the client on WAN1.

Would this not just be NAT in general?
https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/How_can_I_forward_ports_with_pfSense

I guess I could see how things may get mixed depending on your configuration.


 I think thats all the major issues i have... I think (but could be 
 wrong) i have the second one working, but i would like to know if 
 there is a better way of doing it then as follows:

 Firewall, Rules, LAN and i have a connection that says Dest is IP

Seems right, your are going to need floating for the other gateway direction.


 This is the top option, and at the bottom are the standard allow 
 everything out connections...
It processes rules from top to bottom and when matching one stops.


 Am i doing this right?

 Thanks again!

I assume you're doing this to get past the GeoIP region-blocking on BBC
iPlayer.

It's worth mentioning that - if I recall correctly - the BBC don't
actually host most of their content on their own IP block; much of it
goes via CDNs which will inevitably have their own netblocks. So you may
find you have to route a much larger chunk of address space via your VPN
than originally planned.

Kind regards,

Chris
