Hi!
I am new to opnsense, it is a great product.
I recently noticed, that running ssh on the same subnet brings me to connection interruption with ssh -
I changed allready Firewall Optimization to conservative, in FW -> Settings -> Advanced
regarding to this post
https://servernetworktech.com/2013/05/pfsense-vlans-and-ssh-disconnects/
and it is better working!
Today also in Settings -> Normalization
IP Do-Not-Fragment
and now testing again)
Does anybody has another hint, to improove this issue?
thank you

You have a loophole in your network. Some SSH traffic hits the firewall, while the other traffic goes directly to the server. This creates a problem for state tracking: it can't be done because packets are missing and the connection is terminated by the firewall for security reasons.
A switch plugged to your LAN port should fix this so that no internal LAN traffic reaches the firewall.

Hi Franco!
thank you! i thought about that. And as you explained, I did this - there is still a switch between the FW and the rest - BUT: I am using a virtual IP as the default GW in the same network. could that be the problem? Or a bridge i put over the WAN?
best regards

Hi Jonathan,
Could be the bridge, but can't say for sure. Maybe traffic is appearing twice and that confuses the state tracking.
Cheers,
