20.7 Legacy Series / Block outbound connections to China

Does OPNsense have any features or plugins that would block outbound connections to China?  In case I use compromised devices that want to phone home.

Hardware and Performance / Configuration backups and new hardware

« on: July 24, 2019, 12:40:34 am »

Hello Folks,

I have OPNsense 19.7 running as a KVM domain\guest with a LAN and WAN interface.  If a new VM is created with the same VM configuration, except with 3 interfaces: LAN, WAN and wLAN, is it a good idea to apply the configuration backup to the new VM? 

If restoring the configuration backup is not a bad idea:

Would it be better to restore the configuration and then start adding configuration for the wLAN interface?

Or, would it be better to do 'basic' configuration of the LAN, WAN and wLAN and then apply the restore?

19.7 Legacy Series / Validating download signatures on Windows

« on: July 19, 2019, 10:16:44 pm »

noob question, How can I validate the download file signatures on a windows 10 pc?

Here's what I have done...
downloaded the following files from different mirrors:
          OPNsense-19.7.pub
          OPNsense-19.7-OpenSSL-dvd-amd64.iso.bz2
          OPNsense-19.7-OpenSSL-dvd-amd64.iso.bz2.sig
and confirmed the OPNsense-19.7.pub content matched other mirrors and the forum webpage.

using Kleopatra\GpgEX I have tried to import the public key but consistently get a BER error.  (see attachment)

I have tried renaming the OPNsense-19.7.pub with these extensions: asc,gpg,pem,der but import still fails.

The best directions I found online were these, https://www.gpg4win.org/doc/en/gpg4win-compendium_15.html

Which suggests the first step is importing the public key, I don't know, but I've already tried randomly clicking all the buttons in Kleopatra. 

Not sure what to try next, any help would be great.
