15.7 Legacy Series / [SOLVED] Connect with WINSCP

« on: November 08, 2015, 10:01:16 pm »

Hi Folks,

did anyone try to connect to opnsense through winscp. i'm getting error message (attached)

and yes SSH is enabled, in short i can access with putty which ensures that it's not a firewall problem.

thanks

OK I FOUND THE SOLUTION BY MYSELF. IT'S JUST TO USE SFTP PROTOCOL NOT SCP. SCP WORKS ONLY WITH PUTTY TO GET ACCESS TO THE TERMINAL.

Ad,

Here's two things I discovered :

1st your parameters are working but if the system rebooted it'll not be effective although I can see it in the system Tunables section and if I reapply it. It will work again.

2nd when the filter is working it starts at the correct speed I specified but after a while it drops down to 9 or 10 KB/s

Hi Ad

I'm trying to shape between WAN and LAN
The bridge has a static ip 192.168.206.144 and the gateway is 192.168.206.2
The wan has none
The lan has none
And the client pc assigned a dhcp by the router (not opnsense).
I have Internet access on the server
And I have internet access on the client pc but not shaped and I cannot see the client ip on the limiter info page.

Thanks

Thanks Ad,

I've applied the parameters (check attachments).

the traffic shaping is done based on this guide https://wiki.opnsense.org/index.php/Traffic_shaper but after testing there's no shaping at all applied to the traffic and the client PC is getting the full whole bandwidth.

Do I have to modify the traffic shaping method applied?

Hi Ad,
Thanks alot to you and Falcon for your quick and positive support.

Actually I'm not interested in filtering at the moment I just need to get the traffic shaper to work.

I switched off the first parameter from System Tunables but I can't find the second and third  parameters under the same section:
net.link.bridge.ipfw=1
net.link.ether.ipfw=1

Is there a way to do it.

Yes I've built the bridge based on this guide and I'm using version 15.7.18_1 and Ivve tried the same setup before on pfSense and it didn't work then I headed to m0n0wall which didn't work also and from there I knew about OPNsense and it looks like it has the same issue which is most probably linked to the dummynet.

Anyway, even if I didn't get a solution for this I really appreciate your efforts and support by replying to each user and help theme get their problems solved. So thank you so much.

Hi everybody,

my best wishes to OPNsense. the new promising firewall.

I've been testing it for a week now and I've struggled a little with creating a bridge between WAN and LAN and access the web management from bridge interface but I did it finally.

NOW, I've tried to apply this guide https://wiki.opnsense.org/index.php/Traffic_shaper to my setup which works for a few seconds and the speed drops down to 80Kb/S  which should be 512Kb/S.

Please any Ideas, workaround , fix or alternative package that can do a bandwidth limit per user in bridged mode.

thanks to you all.
