[SOLVED] Help with aliases

[darkbot956]

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.

I'm not really sure what it is you are asking, but Aliases are not required to use firewall rules, you can specify network ranges or single ips specifically for a rule instead of using an alias.

Also, with regards to the 2nd part, the default operation for the firewall in OPNsense is to block, so unless there is a firewall rule added for the traffic in question (there is a default rule added to allow LAN to access everything, but that can be removed/edited if need be), the traffic is generally blocked.

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.

You must choose tcp or udp protocols to get ports, as the concept of ports does not exist in most other protocols

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.
