21.1 Legacy Series / Re: New setup - normal to have no WAN rules?

« on: March 26, 2021, 12:08:04 pm »

Yes

An automatic NAT rule will be generated, following the initial setup wizard.

Port Assignments:

By default, the system will be configured with 2 interfaces LAN & WAN. The first network port found will be configured as LAN and the second will be WAN.

IP ranges & DHCP:

The WAN port will have a DHCP client and expects to be assigned an IP address. (This will be handled by the Virgin Hub being in Bridge Mode)
The LAN port will have a DHCP server, a static ip of 192.168.1.1/24 and offers IP addresses in the range of 192.168.1.100-200.

21.1 Legacy Series / Re: Open NAT possible for Xbox gamers?

You'd only need Open NAT if you were hosting games? Surely?

So unless multiple consoles are hosting from the same network at the same time, I wouldn't be too worried.

Intrusion Detection and Prevention / Re: IDS/IPS on seperate hardware from router

I used to run a APU2C4 board - It ran Suricata just fine but took some tweaking and careful rule selection.

As above, you'd want to configure a port mirror (aka SPAN). Then you can use something like an all one package such as SecurityOnion.

Hey,

I'm looking to migrate myself, and have the same question. Looking online it would appear the configuration is relatively the same as pfSense.
