Hi, there loved this video. would like to know if you have posted the video of installing and configuring Squid on pfSense? I would like to see what was done. Thanks
Should I add NTP (123) to my firewall. I have microsoft servers (standard & Exchange). ALso , so that "Let's Encrypt" certs can update, do I need to open up PORT 80 ? Would that be a risk?
I am trying to add security for my home security system. Am I on the right track? I currently use a Google Mesh router with 2 access points.....not much configuration available.
I'm learning PfSense after just installing it on an old Dell Pc with 1TB HD and 8 Gigs of ram. For a small acounting firm (5 users) or a home office with important data, what's the best way to identify what egress traffic to allow out and egress to block? Also, on this same old dell PC, what other packages should I install into PfSense to add more protection? I've heard about Snort and Squid but don't know how to add or configure them. Thanks in advance!
Just out of curiosity, not sure if I missed it. Why do you only configure legacy IP and disable IP? I chose my wording intentionally as IPv4 is now called legacy IP and IPv6 is called just IP. Beside this one suggestion. It is best practise to create a admin user and disable the admin account. Kind of security through obscurity but usually attemted brute force attacks target known admin users so if this user is not available at all you have another layer of security implemented.
When it comes to internal networks in the vast majority of organizations IPv4 is perfectly acceptable. IPv6 mostly is an improvement to scale IP connections on a world scale, you're free to use whatever you'd like internally.
Need advice try to setup firewall PF sense I have 4 Linus centos 7 web servers I have an old Dell 1900 to setup will follow exactly, will setup virtual box , maybe Ubuntu or Centos 7 I do not have extra static ip Can I still able to install or configure all five web servers, they are all live now
You can, but you'll have to look into nginx/apache internal port forwarding to essentially get data from external port 443 and then feed it to your individual webservers' internal ports.
sir my ubuntu desktop keeps for some reason dropping connection, i can't access the pfsense gui at all, it's getting inside my head i have tried everything, pfsense box seems to be working properly but i have no idea what the hell is wrong with ubuntu desktop? when i restore pfsense to factory defaults connection comes back on ubuntu desktop, but if i try and change anything for some reason i lose connection on it... using version number 20.04
