Hi, I've read a lot about pfSense an now decided to try it out. At this point I'm playing with it trying to find out a way to configure it to suite my needs, as well as reporting problems.
What I'm trying to do is to set it in some kind of transparent mode to use in collocation environment. I have subnet of 8 IPs allocated to me routed by my provider. At this point There is no central firewall - only ones on these boxes themselves (Linux) It is not however clear for me how I should do it. I guess I need pfsense to take these IP addresses ? What is next. I understand I can set it in NAT mode and use fake IPs for my servers ? Is there a way I can avoid that ? Any help around this would be appreciated. Now couple of bugs: 1) Both in Firefox and Konquerror there seems to be problem with "Diagnostics" menu - it hides if you try to move mouse over it. Is it. 2) frimware version check seems to be broken: Warning: raiseerror(PEAR.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /etc/inc/xmlrpc_client.inc on line 562 Warning: raiseerror(): Failed opening 'PEAR.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/etc/inc:/usr/local/www:/usr/local/captiveportal') in /etc/inc/xmlrpc_client.inc on line 562 Fatal error: Undefined class name 'pear' in /etc/inc/xmlrpc_client.inc on line 5 pkg_mgr.php is also broken with same message: Warning: raiseerror(PEAR.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /etc/inc/xmlrpc_client.inc on line 562 Warning: raiseerror(): Failed opening 'PEAR.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/etc/inc:/usr/local/www:/usr/local/captiveportal') in /etc/inc/xmlrpc_client.inc on line 562 Fatal error: Undefined class name 'pear' in /etc/inc/xmlrpc_client.inc on line 5 3) http://192.168.2.1/interfaces_wan.php Interface bandwidth speed has empty dropdown while you try to edit it, even if it was set to "Mbits" on initial setup 4) Traffic Bandwidth - Not a bug but likely feature request. This page can't be viewed in Firefox on Linux (needs some plugin) and Konquerror just crashes viewing it if you put mouse other the picture. These could be problems with my versions but still... In general this software impresses me quite a bit even though it is alpha version. I initially thought to go with hardware firewall but reading users opinions I figured out - it is not much more reliable (some people reported rebooting their hardware firewalls few times a month), support being expensive and often unhelpful and even if you do not really need support you're charged for firmware updates. So I decided to go with software solution instead - purchasing good server gives you about the same hardware reliability, and you get great freedom - if one solution does not work well it can be replaced with different one. Lets see how it works out however :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
