19.7 Legacy Series / dnscrypt-proxy behind unbound

« on: September 06, 2019, 02:34:35 pm »

Hi,
I tried setting up dnscrypt-proxy behind unbound. Sadly I cant get it to work.

1. I installed the dnscrypt-proxy package.
2. I disabled the OpenDNS service.
3. I started dnscrypt-proxy without any special configuration.
4. I added the following lines to the "Custom Options" field (often referred to as "Advanced Options", but "Advanced" doesnt have a "Options" field):

Code: [Select]

do-not-query-localhost: no
forward-zone:
name: "."
forward-addr: 127.0.0.1@5353
First Unbound said "duplcate forward-zone", so I switched of "Enable Forwarding Mode" which seems to be a conflict.

So basically I had dnscrypt-proxy running on port 5353, unbound on 53. Sadly it seemed unbound didnt forward the requests to dnscrypt-proxy. In the log of dnscrypt I only saw that the server list was downloaded successfully.

Any idea what I could do different or what I should check?
With my setup above it didnt resolve any names. I did also not succeed in providing a port number in the general settings for the DNS servers.

Would be great if you had a hint what I could do/check.

Thanks.

18.7 Legacy Series / Alias Overrides in Unbound stopped working

« on: October 03, 2018, 06:31:06 am »

Hi,
I updated to the latest OPNsense version, since then the DNS overrides in Unbound seem not to work anymore.

Before I could use "https://nas" in my browser and it pointed to the internal IP. Now Chrome says the hostname was not found.

I flushed the cache on my mac, restarted OPNsense etc but no use. The DNS on the client is the IP of my OPNsense.

Anybody else facing the same problem?

Thanks.

Tutorials and FAQs / FAQ How to use the opnsense-importer?

« on: August 16, 2018, 07:40:58 am »

Hi,

I am about to migrate from *sense to OPNsense and prepared a configuration in a VM to have as little downtime as possible. Afterwards I exported the configuration and wanted to import it with the opnsense-importer during startup of a live environment to test it.

First I put it on the OPNsense partition on the USB drive but I couldn't provide a path, only a drive name.
Secondly I put it with the original name on a second USB drive but it always said "No previous config found".
Thirdly I put it as "config.xml" on the second USB drive but it still said "No previous config found".

As I couldn't find anything in the documentation (man-page also not mentioning how to do it), I had a look at the code...
The configuration-file needs to be put in

conf/config.xml

of the USB drive.

I would suggest to add

• the option to provide a local path
• the option to download from a remote path (e.g. website)

German - Deutsch / Web Proxy-Blacklist nur für bestimmte IPs

« on: August 12, 2018, 06:59:44 pm »

Hallo,
Ich würde gerne beim Web Proxy eine Blacklist konfigurieren. Diese soll aber nur für bestimmte Aliase/IPs im Netzwerk gültig sein.

Bei pfSense ging das über das SquidGuard-Package.

Gibt es bei OPNsense auch einen Weg das zu realisieren?

Danke!

German - Deutsch / Äquivalent zu "Firewall/Traffic Shaper/By Interface"

« on: August 10, 2018, 08:39:39 pm »

Hi,

Ich bin mit der Migration von pfSense beschäftigt und frage mich wo ich die Einstellungen für den Traffic Shaper abhängig vom Interface finde.

Bei pfSense ist das unter "Firewall/Traffic Shaper/By Interface" angesiedelt. Das finde ich bei OPNsense nicht.

Kann mir jemand weiterhelfen?

Danke im Voraus!

Documentation and Translation / Confusing Documentation for Newbies

« on: August 10, 2018, 01:21:53 pm »

Hi,
I'm running pfSense for years and am quite familiar with it. Now I want to check if I should switch to OPNsense, therefor I need to read the documentation a little.

My problem is that the Wiki feels very confusing. Am I the only one having problems with it?

What I feel makes it difficult to read:

- I can't see if there are subpages to a chapter. When I click on it I can see the small "tree structure" icon. I would prefer to see directly if there is more behind this point.
- The structure feels not straightforward. After initial installation I want to set up rules. I can't find a chapter "Firewalling". Either it's hidden in a sub-chapter but as I am new to OPNsense, I feel "lost".
- What role does "HowTos" play? Is it part of the documentation or are these specific scenarios which are described in more detail?

I know, you can use the search function, but if you are new and want to get a first overview and the principles behind, I feel very difficult.

So my question to you: Am I using it wrong? Is there a better place to start?

Thanks for your feedback and help
