General Discussion / Best Network Setup

« on: November 29, 2015, 02:54:17 am »

I have 2 choices of network setup... Which do you all prefer and why?

MODEM<-static->OPNsense<-DHCP->HUB<-->SERVER&WORKSTATIONS (OPNsense serves DHCP)

MODEM<-statc->OPNsense<-static->SERVER<-DHCP->HUB&WORKSTATIONS (Server serves DHCP)

In the second option the server has a WAN Port for the OPNsense appliance and a LAN port to serve the workstations

FOr the second option I need to know how to setup a static IP between the server and OPNsense appliance

General Discussion / How do I remote in?

« on: November 23, 2015, 02:56:01 am »

I really appreciate all the help you all have given me in implementing OPNsense in my office.

I have installed OPNsense on an appliance and have it installed between my modem and my server...

I have windows 7 pro at home and windows 2008 R2 at my office.

What must I do to be able to remote into my server at my office?

General Discussion / Looking for recommended Configuration.

« on: November 17, 2015, 04:04:38 am »

I am somewhat a newb to firewall software.

I want to be able to remote in. Not sure how to set that up with OPNsense.

Also, I am setting this up for a dentist office that has a local server. The main software runs local on the server. The office only uses the internet for surfing, backup and updates.

What is the recommended configuration for OPNsense?

What things should I be careful not to screw up configuration wise?

I will be protecting my network via OPNsense.

Is there a recommended enterprise AV solution for my server and workstations that works well in combination with OPNsense?  OPen Source would be nice...

I need something that I can remote in to and run scans system wide...

General Discussion / [SOLVED] Cheap Box that meets requirements

« on: November 05, 2015, 05:16:22 pm »

I am a newb here, but have been impressed by what I see.

I have setup firewalls for several of the schools I have worked at using IPCop. I used minimal old xp thinclients to do the job. I am now doing contract repair work on the side and want to replace a sonicwall unit with one that has OPNsense on it. The business has 7 workstations and a Windows 2008 server.

I am looking for a recommendation for an inexpensive good looking box to install OPNsense on for the business.

Any Recommendations?
