17.1 Legacy Series / Re: Firewall rules - cannot set destination port
« on: June 09, 2017, 01:12:35 pm »
Hello! I try to help you!
Check if you have "Any" for "Protocol" selection on that firewall rule. If you don't specify a particular protocol, like TCP, or TCP/UDP (meaning, you set the rule to be applied to "any" protocol) then you can't modify ports, as not every protocol (in "any") contains ports in its structure.
Be sure to not forget "Apply" after enabling rulesets, and before "download & update rules". It should work, no problem.
You're welcome, no worries!
PS. I didn't use pfsense. Ever!
... I'd like to understand why that option is not available (it shows a forbidden sign on mouse over for any port or vlan coming and going anywhere). I checked both firewalls seem to be configured with the same options.

A side question I have enabled the suricata ids and rulesets, then selected "download and update rules" but they still show as not installed, any reason why ?

Having used PFSense before but being new to opnsense these are possibly basic questions, but I'd appreciate any insight
