Ya ok that works, tested it  ::)

So simple yet i didn't know and most of the firewalls iv messed with to date don't care about that topic and just let the end user slap in port blocking rules.

Was 100% stumped on that  topic till you pointed out what to do.

Tnx for the bro tip.

Anyway to change what kind it uses as need in the settings someware ?

Exaple: if your trying to game and its Symmetric NAT your not gaming anymore cus nothing works.

Problem is i can do nothing with this part of OPNsense




It simply won't let me change anything so i can't setup any kind of rules.

Seems theirs piles of diffent flavors of NAT out thier, what kind douse OPNsense use and is it possable to change types as needed to other types in the settings ?

Seems all the firewall rules work with aliases unless i'm mistaken, my self it would be nice if i could disable that topic but sadly i can't from what i understand.

Anyone mind telling me what i should do alias wise so that the firewall covers every ip possible in ipv4 and ipv6 from the wan to the lan so that everything in blocked unless a rule saying different.

All i care about really and i only have 2 lan cards on the system so you know, don't care about Vlans and aliases for the most part.

No i mean the PF/firewall rules are all broken and impossible to make when it comes to ports/port ranges in 17.1

Might i add as well that i'm use to manual firewall configs at lest with my setup and i run 4 firewalls back to back all manually configured from point "A"  to point "B"

Opnsense would have bin the 5th firewall / ids setup, though i'm still getting use to it and its nuts in their, so many options but its not like i don't know how to work a firewall.

From my research i only found this on the topic and their going on about alias or something, not understanding 100% what their talking about here but it ends with lets all just go use Pfsence or something.

In the opnsense wiki / manual this is all i can find on the topic.

https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/fwcategory.html

As for SSH/TFTP/Telnet/etc and the like, that all needs to be disabled permanently all the way around, only people that will try and use that will be hackers and all i see with wireshark all day long is botnets trying to connect using that crap so you know.

If i had a SSH/Tftp/telnet/ftp port open at my end all it would lead to would be a honey pot server full of virus's/rats/rootkits were i mess with people and try and destroy their computers if they download a single file and click on it at their end.

As for firewalls this is one i use and probably my favorite over all, total old school firewall and runs in 256colors and works in win95 !

Open source too, sucks no ones worked on it to make it better and sadly this firewall blows everything out of the water ever made for Linux desktop distros and i means all of em.

Wish i could code :(

I do something with that firewalls code & make a nice home page with a donations button and a forum or something and at the same time shame everything ever made for Linux desktops distros.

Ya new noob question of the day, can't seem to be able in the firewall rules part of OPNsense admin config to change anything when it comes to ports or port ranges, what am i missing ?

O_o

K i'm back, just wanted to say im a moron  ::)

Was messing with opnsense the other night, late last night i might add and i was about ready for bed in any case when i started messing with opnsense  for the first time in my life and i just wasn't watching the options i was given all the way around and it douse seem like when you log in "installer" that your given a full old school CGA stile GUI to mess with and interactive too for new people !

Good job bros, anyways tnx for trying to help out a twit and i think im good at this point, ill post back with twit questions if and when they show up down the road.

One thing though, my self i still use floppy's and optical media and well man imho install or live boot should be the first things asked, thing wants to go in to live boot mode first and off a cd it takes like 20 min to load, be nice to skip that part and just go right to install as the first things asked when booting the opnsense ISO.

Try to format in ext3.

Np, ill try and format the hdd to ext2,ext3,ext4 with a Linux live boot distro with gparted and see what happens, didn't feel like dealing with it last night.

Just got up now/logged on to my computers/this forum.

Let me get some coffees in me and ill start messing with the old computer i have setup for OPNsense install.

Screenshots of where you are stuck please, it would help tremendously to pinpoint the issue.

Docs shall be updated with the latest install guides soon. Preliminary notes are here:

Will do and i read everything from the link you posted, sadly i have to charge up a old cell phone that can take pics if you relly want one, bit of a pain for me to take screen shots of were it stopped, all i remember from what i could see is that it wanted me to pick a spot to install to and listed everything it detected at that point, one of em was the old 40gig hdd but when i picked that one it went on about unknown file format or something, guessing it dousen't like fat32 drives, not that i blame it.

Fat32 is after all a Microsoft hdd format so you know ^^

Off topic, as well i really don't understand why all the opensorce software like OPNsence try and go hardcore when it comes to the installers, why can you guys make a CGA keyboard only installer GUI that looks like this or something, it be so much nicer  :-\

I know Microsoft more or less killed dos and i hate em for it and at one point i would say i was pro at dos and Qbasic & i use to code for apple ][ computer but do we really have to stay dark age when it comes to freeBSD/Linux and the like at times ?



Ps: ty all for taking some time out to help a new comer to OPNsence.

Ya trying to install the newest version of OPnsense 17.1 and well it just dousen't want to install, seems it dousen't like my hdd, as well it dousen't seen to be able to format a hdd befor install, hdd in question im trying to install to is a 40gig P-ata fat32 drive  :o

So let me guess i need to brake out a linux live boot disk and format the drive befor hand ?

If so in what hdd format do i need to format to ?

Ps: this topic is not listed in the offical how to install docs as well im socked the thing can't format hdds befor install.
