Hi all,

General Discussion / firewall rule to DNS destination instead of IP

« on: July 20, 2022, 07:30:47 pm »

hi all,

making a firewall rule but instead of the destination being an "ip" i want it to be a "DNS" record, is it possible to put in a DNS name ie dns.msftncsi.com and that resolves to the ip

if not has it got the plugin squid?

Hardware and Performance / will this wifi card work with opnsense

« on: April 12, 2022, 01:30:52 pm »

hi all,

will this wifi card work with my opnsense fw

https://linitx.com/product/compex-wle900vx-minipci-express-card-802.11-abgnac-wle900vx/15467

and i have an apu2 board

https://pcengines.ch/apu2.htm

thanks,

rob

EDIT - just realised this

Wifi option:

    wle200nx / wle600vx / wle900vx wifi module (wle600vx not supported by all operating systems)
    2 pigsma pigtail cable
    2 antsma / antsmadb antenna

so if i get the 900, as its got 3 antenna/pigtail connections i can only use 2 as my case has only got room for 2 antenna/pigtail connections, will this work

or shall i just get the 200

« on: February 02, 2022, 07:02:53 pm »

hi all,

in opnsense is there a vpn server that requires no cert to be installed natively on windows 10 client(s) ie so the client just logs in with a username and password

i did set up l2tp/ipsec but opnsense has since got rid of l2tp in the package list

thanks,
rob

Virtual private networks / Install CA as standard user

« on: January 31, 2022, 03:40:28 pm »

Hi all,

Created a ipsec ikev2 eap mschapv2 and I can connect to it via my mobile and a Windows 10 client no problem

Obviously need to install the CA on the client which is fine but what about if the user is a standard user on Windows 10 and they can't install the CA as he's a standard user, not admin

How can this be done please

Thanks,
Rob
