I am currently doing a test for our OpenVPN setup through Pfsense, we have 2 Pfsense running on the network,

1. For the default gateway of the LAN Network as Main Firewall.
2. For the OpenVPN Clients as a secondary Firewall.

I'm setting up a WDS (Windows Deployment Service), the WDS server is in a different subnet than the clients that need PXE.
These subnets are connected through a VPN tunnel. Routers are pfsense.
But on the clients' router, I don't know what settings I'm going to put for PXE to work.
I've tried going to several forums, tried several different settings and none of them seem to work.

I'm trying to configure my pfSense box (running 2.5.2-RELEASE) to use my RADIUS server for admin login authentication.

My RADIUS server challenges for a TOTP code after getting the correct password, and this is working correctly (I have a number of other systems here using it for login).

I've configured my pfSense box with a RADIUS server (User Manager->Authentication Server) and I've set pfSense ...

I have three servers which should now also get IPv6 connectivity besides the IPv4. Servers:

1. Pi4 (Raspberry Pi OS)
2. Nextcloud (Debian 10; Nextcloud as snap)
3. Mailserver (Debian 10; mailcow as docker, which also uses IPv6)

They are directly connected to the firewall (up to date pfSense) and reside in their own subnet/VLAN. My plan is to use DCHPv6 so that I can give them a fixed IP, from where I can us ...

So I am trying to build a firewall with a primary and secondary, High-Availability structure. I have configured each of these 2 VirtualBox VMs in GNS3 to connect to each other (for a SYNC) interface, as well as connection to other switches in their topology. These PFsense VMs have about 6 network interfaces in use. I took the configuration file of a single node firewall and am testing with a secondary V ...

I have a pfSense router in a residential environment and need to use IPSec/IKEv2 as a remote access client to a commercial VPN provider. I know the pfSense web UI doesn't support the router being the remote access client, but the underlying FreeBSD OS should. My questions is would setting up the connection in the underlying OS mess up any routing/firewall settings or have interfaces not show up in pfSen ...

Pfsense is installed on top of five dedicated servers, NAT rules are already defined and everything works fine. Now, I want to have one of the external IP addresses to be ignored by pfsense gateway. In other words, for that IP, there is no Pfsense installed, no address translation is done, no internal IP exists, etc.

Is/how it possible.

Thanks

I have a pfSense firewall/router that is exposing some services to my public ip.

This is working fine, as long as the service is on the primary LAN subnet (192.168.1.0/24), let's call it LAN-A.

E.g. this works:

public_ip:443 -> pfSense (NAT) -> 192.168.1.20:5443 (reverse proxy)

I additionally have a second LAN 192.168.88.0/24, let's call it LAN-B, that is behind a Mikrotik router on 192.168.1 ...

I have to change Internet facing IP for Exchange server 2016 CU21.

We use pfSense as a routing solution, on which New Gateway is set - New ISP, works withouth issues. Upstream Gateway set on x.x.x.161/29 IP address. Static IP address set for WAN interface is x.x.x.162.

Since ISP provided multiple WAN IP's and our environment needs multiple servers to use same port, and instead using proxy service, t ...

I have a pfsense firewall, and I need to NAT connection on WAN port 80 to LAN servers.

I want to be able to automatically update the certificate revocation list on a virtual pfSense server running OpenVPN. I don't want the certificate authority to be on the same vpn server, but if pfSense is not running the CA I am not sure how I could update the CRL in an automated way.

Some days ago I install a new second pfSense firewall. I recovered the configuration from the previous one, to put this new one as a CARP Backup the same way other on was before.

So, I run pfsense on Hetzner Cloud and proxmox on Hetzner Cloud. Both are VMs. The Hetzner network is very restricted. I found a solution: GRE tunnels.

pve machine /etc/network/interfaces:

iface vmbr0 inet manual
