20.1 Production Series / ZFS Installer Test Help

« on: March 08, 2020, 07:43:58 am »

Hello, In response to this now old thread

I've been a bit busy lately hence can't responded in time on the previous old thread.

However had some time and made a "fast draft" update to the opnsense.sh developed by franco in hope to get some feedback about the ZFS installation process/functionality, it currently supports ISO files only as the source media in this test installer, but will fully support USB installers as well based on the testing feedback.

I've currently tested only on GPT/UFS and GPT/ZFS and seems to work well here, though I've only focused in the ZFS filesystem and more testing is much welcome.

Small video showing bsdinstaller working HERE

Testing sources can be found HERE

The current proposal does copy the files freshly from the source media, and does not requires for the live media to carry the base.txt etc. tarballs files, keeping the same size for convenience.

P.S. Note that the file copying process does not have a percentage gauge yet. 

Regards

19.7 Legacy Series / OPNsense built-in ZFS Installer Ideas

« on: December 07, 2019, 10:25:53 pm »

Hello, I'm really sorry for posting a another thread about this topic, however since I posted in an already Legacy product thread, it may worth to just point for it instead of duplicating.

Here are some ideas, test files for a simple built-in OPNsense ZFS installer, actually the "bsdinstall" route is the best approach in my personal opinion, though there are several ways to accomplish this eventually.

General Discussion / [Solved]Port forward behind ISP Router

« on: June 26, 2018, 07:34:28 pm »

Hi, since I've tried numerous how-to also can't search for solution yet, I decided to starting a new thread in hope someone in the same boat with solution can bring some light.

I'm having a very hard time trying to get a simple web server to be accessible outside my network(for testing purposes) through No-IP/Port forward, I will post brief setup of my current network in hope to get some advice if I am doing something wrong on my end, before I consider to call my ISP in which is very slow wen it comes to customer support unfortunately.

Lets start with my setup and what I'm trying to accomplish for reference, my setup is as follow:

           ISP/Locked                        Router/DHCP                WiFi/AP/Bridge            Switch/Unmanaged            Wired
[Ubiquiti Wireless Radio]----->[OPNsense 18.1.10]----->[Netis WF2419]----->[ PowerConnect 2808]----->[Clients]

HERE is an image of the above network setup/diagram.

My Web server in question is a simple Apache server running on my FreeBSD file server and currently accessible locally with the IP: 192.168.1.xxx:8080, OPNsense is handling all the Unbound DNS, DHCP and DDNS with my No-IP account, the DynDNS plugin is currently working and cached my outside WAN IP address and is reflected in the No-IP website as expected, now the odds are coming.

I configured port forwarding for the Apache IP/port as follows:

<Source>
[IF=WAN]--[Proto=TCP]--[Address=*]--[Ports=*]

<Destination>
[Address=LAN Address]--[Ports=*]

<NAT>
[NAT=192.168.1.xxx]--[Ports=8080]

My DNS Servers are as follow:
#1: 208.67.222.222
#2: 208.67.220.220
#3: 192.168.1.1

Allow DNS server list to be overridden = Unchecked
Do not use the DNS Forwarder/Resolver = Unchecked

A further test I performed under Windows "nslookup" returned also the following:
> myhostname.ddns.net
Server:  opnsense.localdomain
Address:  192.168.1.1

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    myhostname.ddns.net
Address:  104.238.xxx.xxx (WAN IP)
>

Overall with this setup, I can access my specified "myhostname.ddns.net" and I'm redirected to external WAN which is working fine, but the port forward is not redirecting to internal Apache target IP/port for some reasons, in either default port 80 nor with 8080 etc, additionally every port tester I've used say Port not open and others say Connection refused. 

I really apologize for my rather messy post and I hope to get some advice from experienced OPNsense users regarding port forward behind a locked ISP router, oh and really sorry for my English.
