Hi Josey, the more coherent the explanation provided the quicker and more accurate our assistance can be.
So please provide.
a. a network diagram (your explanation is confusing) and the more labelling the better.
b. a copy of your current config /export hide-sensitive file=anynameyouwish
c. any requirements that are special, aka what do you want users/devices to be able to do, or NOT to do, without any reference the config or solutions.
a)
pfsense as internet router with
WAN
LAN2 10.20.0.0/24 interface ip 10.20.0.254
LAN3 10.30.0.0/24 interface ip 10.30.0.254
LAN4 10.40.0.0/24 interface ip 10.40.0.254
LAN5 xx.xx.xx.xx not important
LAN6 xx.xx.xx.xx not important
MIKROTIK RB433GL
WLAN 10.70.0.0/24 interface ip 10.70.0.1
LAN 10.30.0.0/24 interface ip 10.30.0.180
GW on mikrotik is 10.30.0.254
routes, dns etc are setup corectly, internet works and i can access to all networks behind PFS.
MikroTik have done a fabulous job updating its online documentation. …
I recommend that you check out the following link for superb direction on RouterOS Firewall construction and explanations.
Disagree,
Some of the rules in the intro are not practical or normal from my limited experience
setting mac winbox Server interface list to NONE???
Turnine IP DNS allow remote request to NO???
On the building a firewall page - the extra noise and garbage of ICMP jumping!!! yuck
In the advance page - playing with raw rules… not recommended except for the very knowledgeable user…
It is good practice to disable all unused interfaces on your router, in order to decrease unauthorized access to your router:
/interface print
/interface set X disabled=yes
Where X numbers of unused interfaces.
I do not know where it live, if core devices are installed on publics road, where everyone can plug his own device on free ports…
Or home user must disable router ports if use only wifi…
Oh, I just have an SFP module to plug on this free port…
Again, we use EVERYDAY the bandwidth server on PRODUCTION environment…
“Production Environment” is like IT PRO, not for home user…
Bandwidth server
A bandwidth server is used to test throughput between two MikroTik routers. Disable it in the production environment:
/tool bandwidth-server set enabled=no
ok so i get questions a) b) c)
which i ansvered and explain
but it seems that one simple fw rule is not that simple isnt it?
any other question?
no device is not on public road its in locked office.
ok i know that it is good practice to disable not used interfaces, but if your device is on public road, why i just cant unplug lan cable on active lan interface?
im off topic now.
can i get this fw to work, because it seems that suggested help documentation does not help.
