I tried configuring the other three ports on the LAN and I couldn't get any of them to configure. One thing I noticed is that while I'm connected to the LAN via Ethernet, the icon in my system tray which indicates if I'm connected to a network goes red x (not connected) -> spinning circle (identifying) -> yellow exclamation (connected no internet) and then the connection is lost after some random amount of time and then it goes through the whole sequence again. WAN IP: 192.168.1.12/24 (static IP in DMZ)Īccessed webConfigurator (connected laptop to LAN via Ethernet)Ĭonfigure FiOS Router (I'm not positive about these.
I found a how-to on Hackology titled "Pfsense behind a router" so I reset my pfSense router to its default configuration and went through the following steps. Please do bring any incorrect information to my attention as I'm here to learn and hopefully one day contribute. I genuinely appreciate your time and any suggestions or help offered. I took a basic networking class some 5 years ago and remember just enought to get myself into trouble. If I reset pfSense to the default configuration I can access the webConfigurator but when I make any changes and click apply I can no longer access the webConfigurator. Also, everytime I change the LAN address I can't access the webConfigurator. I've read that the LAN & WAN addresses must be in different subnets so I configured a static IP in the Actiontec (192.168.1.12), put this address in the DMZ (I had luck putting an address in the DMZ when I was using a secondary router running DDWRT) and assigned it to the WAN and the LAN interface as 192.168.10.1/24 which I think is a different network (I think this takes care of the different subnets requirement for the LAN and WAN?) I've tried several different combinations of LAN & WAN addresses and still can't connect to the internet through the pfSense router. The IP address of the Actiontec is 192.168.1.1/24. I've read many posts and installation guides that I've found by searching the internet and this forum and tried many of the suggestions all to no avail.
#DELETING WIRELESS MAC ADDRESS ACTIONTEC TV#
I have TV service so I need to use the Actiontec for VOD, on screen guide, etc. Add USB WiFi to pfSense router to connect clients wirelessly.Ĭurrently I'm struggling with the first phase. Configure Private Internet Access with OpenVPN on pfSense router. Configure pfSense router behind Actiontec so that clients connect to pfSense router can access the internet. I'm was thinking that this could occur in three phases:
I wanted to do this because not all of the devices in my network need to be connected to the VPN at all times whereas some do. I have FiOS and I'm trying to configure a pfSense box behind my Actiontec router (ONT->Verizon Actiontec->pfSense) to handle VPN connections and the associated processing. Use decent passwords and non-obvious usernames and that shouldn't be too much of a problem.I've been working on the issue below for the past several days and am hoping some of the good people here would be willing to shed some light on the solution for me. However, that's a somewhat advanced concept and can be a hassle to use, so you may be better off just living with the fact that all PCs behind the router on the left hand side of your graphic will get a login prompt.
#DELETING WIRELESS MAC ADDRESS ACTIONTEC PC#
If they do have the same source IP, you can look up port-knocking on the wiki and use the concept to just allow a PC with that source IP address to connect to a particular secret sequence of ports in order to open up the firewall administrative access for a short timeframe (one or two minutes) - but still, during that timeframe any PC with that source IP address would get a login prompt. If you don't know the answer to that question, go to both PCs and load in a browser and compare the results. If they have different source IPs (PC1 and PC2 are either not NAT'd by the router, or get NAT'd to different IP addresses) you can filter administrative access by IP address. So the next question is: what source IP address does the router behind the 3G modem see PC1 and PC2 as having? Are they both the same? In that case you cannot meaningfully differentiate between the two and cannot permit access to one and categorically deny a login prompt to the other. Since you have the Internet between the two, that's more than one router.
How TCP/IP works makes that absolutely impossible. If there is just one other router between the 3G modem and the machines administratively accessing the router behind the 3G modem, you CANNOT filter by MAC address.
