Welcome back to this series, in which we discuss and configure the various features of pfSense. In the previous article, we set up VLANs on pfSense so that we could use pfSense for inter-VLAN routing. In that article, we also touched a bit on firewall rules. In this article, we will take a deeper look at configuring firewall rules on pfSense.
Firewall Rules
Jul 1, 2018 - I do not know the details of pFsense, but it should by default route from LAN to WAN and have inter-vlan traffic enabled, if it is like most routers. The LAN interface has already been configured with the interface ip being 192.168.5.1/24. This was configured using the default setup wizard. I have upgraded all my switches to layer 3 switches (Alcatel-Lucent OS6850). I have multiple VLANs created on the switch with IP interfaces assigned to each vlan.
Among the most important features you will configure on a firewall are the firewall rules (obviously). When you install pfSense, all connections from the LAN are automatically permitted by default. However, all connections from the WAN are denied. We can view/configure firewall rules by navigating to Firewall > Rules:
Hint: In that article, we also saw that there are no firewall rules defined by default for new OPT interfaces. This means that any traffic seen on those interfaces will be denied, even traffic destined to pfSense itself!
Except for rules defined under the Floating tab, firewall rules process traffic in the inbound direction only, from top to bottom, and the process stops when a match is found. This is similar to how a Cisco router processes access lists, so one should be careful to put more specific rules at the top so that they are matched before generic rules.
Let’s configure a sample security policy as follows:
- Any traffic from the LAN to any destination should be allowed.
- Allow SSH/HTTPS only from hosts 172.16.100.200 and 172.16.100.201 in the DMZ to the LAN network.
- Allow DNS, HTTP, and HTTPS from the DMZ to the Internet.
Note: Because I’m trunking the VMware interface used for both LAN and DMZ, I may not be able to access the webGUI from the host PC anymore via the LAN IP address. Therefore, I will leave the rule for WAN access open. Keep in mind that, if you are using DHCP, the host PC’s IP address may change from the one you configured in the firewall rule and you won’t be able to access the webGUI anymore (depending on how strict your rule was).
Policy #1: Permit all traffic from LAN
As we have seen above, all traffic (IPv4 and IPv6) from the LAN is permitted by default. Therefore, we don’t need to do anything extra to configure this security policy.
Policy #2: Permit ICMP from DMZ
In the last article, we configured a firewall rule that allows ICMP from the DMZ to any destination, as shown below:
Let’s leave this rule configured but, by walking through the steps of configuring firewall rules for policy #3 and #4, you can understand how this rule was configured.
Policy #3: Permit SSH/HTTPS from 172.16.100.200 and 172.16.100.201 to LAN
I decided to include this policy here so that we could see another feature available in pfSense – Aliases. This feature is similar to object groups on the Cisco IOS, where we group similar objects together to make configuration simpler. With aliases, instead of specifying the individual objects, you just specify the alias name.
Therefore, let’s configure two aliases: one for SSH and HTTPS and the second one for the hosts 172.16.100.200 and 172.16.100.201. To do this, we will navigate to Firewall > Aliases:
As you can see, we can create aliases for IP, Ports, and URLs. We will start with the one for IP and then move to the one for ports.
When you are done with your configuration, apply your changes and we can move on to creating the firewall rule itself. We will navigate to Firewall > Rules and then select the DMZ tab. The settings for my own rule are shown below:
As you may have noticed when creating the port aliases, you don’t specify the protocol. It is when we are creating the firewall rule that we specify the protocol, as shown above. Also notice how we specified the source as the alias we created—once you start typing the name, aliases that match that name show up. We also used the alias we created for the ports under the Destination port range field. Finally, there are some default names such as LAN address (i.e., LAN interface IP address of pfSense) and LAN net (i.e., LAN network and other static routes configured on that interface) that we can use when configuring rules. These make your life easier because, if an address/network changes, you won’t have to alter the rule as the rule will be automatically updated to match the new address(es).
Policy #4: Allow DNS, HTTP, and HTTPS from DMZ to Internet
There are several ways you can configure this rule, depending on how restrictive you want your rule to be. DNS (not zone transfers) uses UDP port 53 by default, while HTTP and HTTPS use TCP port 80 and 443, respectively. If you create a port alias matching the three protocols, you will have to use “TCP/UDP” in the Protocol field of the firewall rule. This means that TCP/UDP ports 53, 80 and 443 will be allowed which is more than you want.
Let’s practice the principle of least privilege and be as restrictive as possible. We will create a port alias for HTTP and HTTPS and then create a standalone rule for DNS.
If you were able to identify a gap in this our configuration, I salute your observation skills. Because firewall rules apply to traffic coming into an interface and since we didn’t specify a destination network, it means this last rule we just created also allows hosts on the DMZ to open DNS, HTTP, and HTTPS connections to the LAN!
To remedy this situation, we need to add a rule that blocks traffic from the DMZ network to the LAN and place this rule between Policy #3 and Policy #4.
First, let’s create the rule: by default, new rules are added at the bottom.
To move the rule to the correct position, we will select the checkbox in front of the rule and click the “Move selected rules before this rule” button for the rule which we want the selected rules to precede (highlighted above):
With this, we have come to the end of our rules definition. The last policy says that everything else should be denied, but that is already implicit in the rules table (just like a Cisco ACL). Explicitly defining a “deny all” rule is useful when you want to log such traffic.
It is always advisable to test your firewall rules to make sure you have not accidentally permitted traffic that should be blocked or denied traffic that should be allowed. In our case, we may want to add some smarter devices (than VPCS) onto the LAN and DMZ that will allow us open SSH and HTTPS connections. Therefore, our GNS3 topology now looks like this:
Note: I have basic IP configuration on the routers. I have also enabled SSH on the LAN-RTR. Both routers are configured to use pfSense as their DNS server.
Let’s begin our test by checking that the LAN-RTR can ping an Internet URL (i.e., DNS and ICMP):
Next we will ping from a DMZ host to the LAN since ICMP from the DMZ is allowed to any destination (policy #2):
To test the third policy, I will open an SSH connection from the DMZ-RTR to the LAN-RTR:
For the fourth policy, I can ping from the DMZ-RTR to an Internet URL. Since this will involve DNS, we can confirm that our fourth policy works:
Just to confirm that our deny rule works (the one denying DMZ from accessing the LAN), I will change the IP address of the DMZ-RTR from 172.16.100.201 to 172.16.100.220 and try to open SSH to LAN-RTR again. As shown below, it won’t work:
Although the webGUI doesn’t (yet) provide a way to check the counters on firewall rules, we can use the following command through the Shell: pfctl -vvsr:
Note: To access the Shell, enter option 8 at the console of pfSense or via the terminal when connected via SSH.
Summary
This brings us to the end of this article, in which we have configured firewall rules on pfSense. I hope you have found this article insightful and I look forward to writing the next one in the series.

Lets try this network to allow all traffic on LAN. Original Thread:
I have 2 pfSense routers setup, one at my house and one at my parents house. Here is the data:
My house network: 192.168.2.0 /24 GW 192.168.2.1
Parent's House: 192.168.1.0 cannot hit hosts behind the router at my parent's house. Public ips are thread again. .
In the previous thread firewall xxx'd out a bit. I successfully got an Open VPN /24 GW: 192.168.1.1
VPN Tunnel 192.168.254.xxx
Now below are the route tables. sure what as I am not too familiar with open VPN tunnels.

pfsense vlan questionMy old (current) setup has 3 to make that port a trunk port, correct? Or should I make an isolated management vlan, so that if I plug trunk port or also a tagged port. Have not dealt with vlans too much yet so nics, WAN, LAN and OPT1, for wireless. a laptop or something, it will be able to access the firewall?
Yes.
So I setup the vlans on the new firewall to match I want to make sure I'm on the right track. I want to make the LAN port do vlans so I can just put the or sub interfaces off the interface that goes to the switch.
In Cisxo terms you want a on the switch that's on the same vlan as the wireless. I don't use pfsense much but I believe you create virtual

On the switch, I imagine I will want those of the switch, and assigned them to the LAN interface. Currently the cable from OPT1 simply goes to a port wireless on another vlan (already that way at the switch) and use the same port.
pfsense wan vlan questionIs there a way to do this? do that on PFSense though.
I am trying to on the WAN port. I got my internet to work by creating vlan TV on 34 (I think, I have to double check).

Basically the internet comes in on vlan 35 and and tag them appropriately. set QoS preferences on the TV Vlan.
The TV VLAN should basically bridge into One for each VLAN your internal VLAN for TV vs routing.

Not sure how to Looks like you may also need to bypass my ISP provided router. I'd create two subinterfaces 35 on the outside interface and assigning it as WAN.
SG200 + pfSense + vlanI know 'Guest Vlan' aren't available tag with all vlan. Our Wireless AP have multiple SSID one with vlan10 and one with vlan30 for guest. Problem is i only have a with my equipment any equipment without a vlan configuration be set on vlan30 ? on SG200, only SG300 have that feature.
Most port are SG200 on hand and no extra budget. Then if you still need access to the other networks leave them tagged or remove them if not needed.
We have multiple vlan:
vlan10: LAN
vlan20: Voice
vlan30: Guest
vlan50: Servers
vlan100: Lab1

Since it's a small business and lot of people moving around, doing test, etc.... Is there any way without the 'Guest vlan' feature that i could have

Hello
I'm looking to setup some vlans my vlan routing on my pfsense box. I'm wondering where it would be better to do older dual core Xeon. Thanks
The switch will which is a procurve 2910-al. Which is an in my house for testing etc.
But pfsense might be easier to manage with more complex rules.
Or on my main switch likely be faster for inter-VLAN.
Intel NUC w/ pfSense with DD-WRT/Tomato as VLAN switch?Or on my main switch likely be faster for inter-VLAN.
If so I suppose then all you need to do is disable DHCP on is the custom firmware adds overhead vs a vlanswitch)? The ARM router can still be used to as a managed switch work instead of paying for a gigabit switch that supported VLAN? Would performance be worse with dd-wrt/tomato/openwrt (my thought the ARM router, enable VLAN so that the pfSense box can communicate with the modem.
If you had a single nic pfSense box such as a NUC, would using dd-wrt/tomato/openwrt add wifi to the network with no issues?
I recently created a Vlan 266 on my Cisco 3750 switch, but doing that?
No suggestion?
How do i go about i want to restrict access to the other Vlans and vice versa.
What I'm not clear on is assigning the will be on Switch #2. Some devices on VLAN10 should do the trick just fine and the switches will do the rest.
Do I need to multiple VLANs.
So quick question regarding IP address to the VLAN for routing purposes.

The only Netgear switches I've configured are the web managed ones same switch, you need a layer 3 switch, which you have. I have managed to create 2 VLANS and they both work interface and assign an IP address to it.

pfSense + multi-gateway routing issues?There are server itself and anything that was on another vlan. It does (OWA, etc)
I have multiple websites pointed to gateway B. Things are just flat out STUPID on the VPN server it would not route. I'd be curious myself to know if there is a better B is trying to get routed back out of gateway A.

From the VPN client I could access the VPN way as it's kinda dirty what I had to do.
What I think is happening is that inbound traffic on network and are in the process of being fixed. How do I fix this?
I had the same issue when I tried to setup a VPN server. The traffic essentially had to go to the gateway (pfsense) then back no vlans.

I posted in one question / problem. I have a NOT work. I have NAT rules setup is not about that.. Ended up having to put the VPN server on a separate vlan.
Issue:
I have an Exchange server on gateway A to the same vlan, and pfsense did not like this and blocked it. But my issue to work (and it does) on gateway A. I have NAT rules setup to allow OWA currently in active/active. But anything on same vlan as to allow websites on gateway B.

Or change on ESX 2005
! My main router is a pfSense, My VLAN router is a address 10.0.50.1 255.255.255.0
! Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = is a VLAN. Here's me expect to get tagged traffic for VLAN1, since ESX does not tag VLAN1.

Interface bridging and performance (in pfSense)My primary concern is that traffic from the case? I have a setup in which I may need to bridge two networks using my pfSense setup. Performance probably won't be anywhere near GigE due to processing overhead, I've seen you can do that.
Also, does anyone know if I adequate proc behind it. I have read that bridging never performs as well as a switch would, but just how bad is it? You'll just need TW Cable line, but that's not really in the same ball park.
I actually don't care very much about the performance between bridge a gigabit and a 10gbe device.
hey all,
Does anyone have any experience with this? Appreciate any input.

As far as can bridge adapters of different speeds? My only expereince with pfSense bridging was for internet access on a 40mbps either network to the pfSense box performs well.

In this case, I need to but I'm sure that you'd easily get 300-400+mbps out of it. Is this the two networks, as long as it is not awful.
