18.7 Legacy Series / Using categories in rules, how to delete one?

« on: August 03, 2018, 12:07:11 pm »

So I have installed OpnSense on a Checkpoint 4200, that was fun!

I have entered a category name for my rules, but I wish to delete that category.
Where can I find a list of these self made categories to alter or delete?

I read "resolve" but it was not a DNS resolve, but resolve the list of aliases.
Found the part of DNS forwarder and registering DHCP leases, so I'm good to go now.
Tnx!

16.7 Legacy Series / Newbie question about Alias and DNS

« on: January 18, 2017, 03:05:47 pm »

I was setting up some NAT rules and saw that alias/group seem to work only if it can resolve name to IP.
As I don't have a DNS local only DHCP, what should I do?
Now I am setting up rules with entering hosts with fixed IP addresses

Is my assumption right how an alias/group works?
Should I install a DNS server locally?
How can I make DHCP from OPNsense register in this local DNS server?

16.7 Legacy Series / Re: Unable to create bootable USB media

With all those new devices secure boot stuff, you can forget getting it to work ever...
I used Rufus, physdisk, and more tools but it just won't boot.
So, took out a DVD player and used my external USB disk interface to use it as an external DVD.
Then it boots perfectly.

Must say, although it took me 2 days getting it to boot, it sees my onboard NIC as well as the 2 USB nics. Lol, could build me a firewall with 7 interfaces if I needed it!

A lot of other firewall/gateway Linux based distros won't install cause they don't recognise any eth in my system...
