Title: Insight - Which LAN IP's visited which websites
Post by: aristosv on April 03, 2018, 04:20:28 pm
So I decided to stop using the usual ubiquity and mikrotik routers, bought a small Intel based computer and for the past couple of weeks I've been using pfSense on my gateway. Even though the functionality is all there, the interface seemed a bit outdated. But most importantly I couldn't get any support from the forums.

A few google searches later and I came across opnsense, which seems a lot more promising. I like forked software because they represent someone's desire for evolution of ideas, promote progress and stop stagnation.

I wanted to ask, if opnsense provides the ability to view which computers on my LAN, are visiting which websites on the internet. Would Insight - Netflow Analyzer provide this information?

Truth be told I also wanted to post a question in the forums, to see if I'd get a response. Which is something I didn't get on the pfSense forums.

Thanks

The best way to do that is using the proxy and read the logs.

Welcome to OPNsense!
Indeed, proxy would be one idea. The other would be to use a custom DNS server and monitor queries.

Hi there,

If the WiFi card is supported this works. If not you can always use an extender or USB NIC / Wifi Stick(*). ยูฟ่าเบท (https://www.ufa88.com/ufabet)

I actually wanted to ask something very similar. But I'm interested in all traffic/protocols not just web.

Do I have overlooked something or is there really no UI supported, flexible reporting available for Firewall traffic?
I couldn't spot something in the documentation.

As a start I would like to see stuff such like:

This is very crucial information out of a Firewall to me - otherwise it's mostly a blackbox executing some rules?
Is this is information really not available as a dynamically searchable, UI friendly report or did I just not yet find it?

Thanks for infos and explaining me how best practice to achieve what I intend would be.
