Getting Started With pfsense Firewall Rules and Troubleshooting States With pfTop. 

Hi, Tom. Again thank you so much for the wonderful video, I have learned a lot from your videos. More power to your company and your team.

Just wanted to say thank you. This and your other vids have really been helpful. Thanks for making videos instead of what used to only be in text on a BBS somewhere. Separator ? Genius! There it was, all the time, for years - why did I not use these, lol.

Thanks for this! Knowledge gaps is a good way to put it for those of us who encounter firewall rule problems but are not sure why it’s not working. Things get more complicated when you have several VLANS needing various routing rules between them.

To really understand pfsense rules it's worthwhile to understand PF which is the command line version of OpenBSD. The concepts of lists, macros, tables, anchors are pretty great. Good book The Book of PF.

One of the best youtuber to go and learn about pfsense and networking and freenas. Love your content and I don't think I would have used pfsense in my home (not even IT background) if I didn't see your videos.

Thank you!!! Amazing tutorial, please do more.

Great vid Tom , much appreciated , thanks a bunch and keep smiling :-)

Thank you for sharing this very helpful video.

Can you do a Video on the invert match? (Source & Destin) give a detailed understanding of it. Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Thank you Tom.

New pfsense video, yes!

Hello sir, Could I ask you one question? Why the client using dns beside gateway pfsense the blocked on pfsense not effective?

6:34 under Status > System logs, is it possible to filter firewall logs by src or dst subnets? What would be the notation/syntax? It seems to be hosts only and that was not covered.

Can you do rules using AD users or AD groups? From what I have read I don't see this option.

I want to become a system administrator for servers in *one* rack. Which are used for storage, Web Hosting (with shared and dedicated public IP (v4 and v6 as well)) Web Hosting servers going to use CentOS. What should be my learning path? Thank you. 🤗

Are there any "Allow's" needed on the WAN when using remote Desktop via a IPSec VPN tunnel?

I just need help opening the wan to the lan. I need to get a buncha devices online before the wife comes home hahah. I added a rule on the wan but still nothing out nothing in.

Hell Guys pls help me. I'm looking for how to activate 5651 via firewall pfsense but I can't find it.

Hey Lawrence, I had a question. I run a small WISP and we load balance manually off multiple WAN connections. Our providers are usually PTP capping us at around 100mbps with our current tech. We're currently load balancing 2 connections through a Mikrotik router and looking into maybe switching to PFsense. We don't do very advanced stuff besides Netflow to our accounting server, Queues per client IP for traffic shaping, we also host a small "youtube audio server" which I have throttled to around 5mbps so that it doesn't eat up our bandwidth but that's only to our nearest CDN with a x.x.x.x/16. We're currently using an RB4011 and I have an i5-6500 I could use for Pfsense or any other router OS. What do you recommend?

I want to allow only emails on pfsense for specific IP alias? it may be gmail or yahoo etc ? how to allow only email services from pfsense on some specific devices? I shall be highly thankful

Hi Tom, Is there an easy way to block a camera from reaching the internet but can connect to the NVR on the same vlan? The NVR should have access to the internet for updates. My router Is an Edgerouter x

I’m using DNS Forwarder I have 3 connections, 2 Fibre and 1 4G. I’m able to connect to everything perfectly all expect for one random website (Three UK) any ideas? I would guess Three is rejecting / blocking public DNS, I’m using Google & Cloudflare. Any suggestions to fix this would be appreciated?

I,m hosting my own web server and I'm having an issue where I get an error that says "Potential DNS Rebind attack detected, see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_rebinding Try accessing the router by IP address instead of by hostname." I have tried deleting all the nat rules and firewall rules and I still get this error. I need some guidance

can any one tell me why pfsense is stopping me opening cbt vm labs?

I can't imagine who the hell gave 5 dumps down to this video... Haters!

I really appreciate your videos, but both your mind and your mouth move way too fast, and I usually have to play them back at 75% speed. LOL.
