General Discussion / Confused

« on: September 20, 2023, 04:46:41 pm »

Looking to migrate from pfsense to opnsense - primarily for the mail filtering and other functionality - think I have a firewall setup problem but might be due to approaching it from a pfsense view of how to set things up?

Network

Have a simple (?) EE supplied router/modem and looking to insert opnsense between it and the local lan (very small 5 clients, couple of servers - email,, VPN...) to exactly replace pfsense.

Setup the VPN and and email filtering,, put another client onto the network between the modem and opnsesne  and it shows all ports closed - pfsense shows the relevant ports as open.  If I disable the firewall opnsense shows the open ports correctly - rules are basically copied from pfsense.

Suspect I have missed something bl..dy obvious or a key difference between pfsense and opnsense - any clues on where to start much appreciated.

Thanks

Using Postfix plugin as a relay to be the first line of defence against all the usual nasties and rubblish.

What are people using to analyse the logs?  Good emails rejected emails (and why)

Thanks
