I am having trouble with my internet connection at the moment and I would like to be able to reach my modem from the LAN to help diagnose problems with the connection.

I believe I need to setup a static route to get through the WAN interface to the modem and I have had a go at that, but I didn't manage to get something working.

 

I will try to explain my setup:

 

Draytek Vigor 130 @ 192.168.2.1 (Static) acting as a bridge passing VDSL to pfsense WAN.

pfSense WAN is DHCP to the ISP (Sky in the UK)

LAN being handled from pfSense DHCP server 192.168.1.0/24

 

I would like to be able to reach the DV130 from a (any) pfSense LAN client. I would appreciate some advice if anyone is able to help out!

I take it you have sniffed the Sky router password with Wireshark to get that to work.... :shiftyninja:

 

Edit: Otherwise you would be Double NAT'ing with the Sky Modem if you are using it, You would need to port forward it on there ... I think!

 

Edit:Nope sorry, Read that wrong. You want to manage it internally so not on the Internet Per Se.

If it is in bridge mode, you will not be able to access the model settings since it's being passed through your pfSense box. 

My understanding was that it could still pass information through to the router. I was fairly sure it could do this when connected to a DratTek router, but I was hoping to find a way to connect with my pfSense box. I am now questioning my understanding...!

 

There is an option in the web GUI that states 'Broadcast DSL status to router in LAN', this seems to imply that it is able to pass some information through to the router?

I don't know what you're on about :rofl:.

 

I would like keep the sky router in the box if at all possible. With it in the box my connection was rock solid for a couple of years with pfSense/DrayTek combo. In the last two months however I have been having serious problems with internet access. Unfortunately I was away for ~1 year, when I returned I updated all my systems, now I am struggling with the connection.

"Broadcast DSL status to router in LAN"

 

There was just a thread on the pfsense forums that is going to flood your pfsense wan with NOISE...  I had a user turn it off on their that was in bridge mode.  You prob want to turn that off as well..

 

He was seeing flood of traffic broadcast to 4944

Which is what that option does..

Here is the thing - so your sure when in bridge mode its still on 192.168.2.1?  For example cable "modems" that all bridge - ie I have public on my pfsense wan 24.13.x.x and I can access my modem on 192.168.100.1 which is like default IP.  Maybe your router has a default IP when its in bridge mode?  Maybe it is 192.168.2.1??  Maybe it has nothing, I do believe you would have to go setup a specific IP once you enable bridge mode, etc.

 

Anyhoo - are you using that IP on any network behind pfsense?  Or any network that would overlap that network?  What is your lan network for example??  So depending on the device as long as the network is not local pfsense would send that traffic out your wan.. So depending on the device and how it does bridge mode and will it answer when it sees its IP etc. etc.  You might be able to just access it like I access my cable modem gui.

Not sure what timezone its in but its like hour behind from central - maybe they don't have daylight correct..  Just wanted to show that was current connection is all..  To access that I have done nothing on my pfsense.. I don't step on that network locally, etc. And I don't block rfc1918 outbound and the modem answers when it sees traffic to that IP, etc.

 

Does your "modem" have other lan ports?  If so I would plug in there set your ip to be on the 192.168.2 network and can you access what you believe its IP is 192.168.2.1 ??  If so then you prob have to create a vip for pfsense on that IP on its wan interface and then you be good to go

 

https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Accessing_modem_from_inside_firewall

 

Once you create the vip for your IP on that nework, you would have to also create a nat rule to make sure when your trying to talk to your modem it nats to that vip IP, etc.

Yeah, I see this traffic too. It's just hitting the firewall and going nowhere, it's funny, I was looking at that traffic only yesterday and wondering what it was. I will switch it off too, thanks for pointing it out.

I'm not sure I can give you a definitive answer at the moment. The DV130 has only one ethernet port. So that goes straight to the pfSense WAN interface (which gets a public IP). To access the modem's web interface I have to connect ethernet direct to my laptop with a static IP in the 192.168.2.X subnet. This is whilst the modem is setup in bridge mode, although it is not connected to anything other than my laptop...obviously.

I am not using that IP anywhere behind pfSense, nor in any other network. LAN is currently 192.168.1.0/24.

Not sure I follow what you mean, are you saying I should be able to access it as is? I can't ping 192.168.2.1 from LAN IP 192.168.1.X, nor can I get the web interface directly. I have only the default firewall rules at the moment, which presumably would need an edit to allow this access? I think you are saying that your modem is on the same subnet as your LAN network?

The modem doesn't have any other LAN ports. Please see explanation above for details of how I connect to the modem interface.

 

I had a quick look at the pfSense link, but got lost straight away! :blush: How do I create an OPT interface on pfsense 2.3.X? Under --> Interfaces / Interface Assignments I don't see an option to create an interface as the instructions said. My attempt at VIP didn't go much better, I managed to send 192.168.2.1 to my pfSense box...

 

Seems like VIP might be the simplest route, would you be able to explain how to implement?

Create a vip on your wan interface..  Firewall, virtual IP - click add.. pick ip alias  Your not doing pppoe are you - that is a bit different....

 

This is really basic basic stuff here..

https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/What_are_Virtual_IP_Addresses

 

Here as example I created one for my modems 192.168.100 address - keep in mind this a bit different you doing pppoe on pfsense - or do you just have wan set to dhcp??

vip.jpg

 

Put this IP in the 192.168.2.0/24 network which I assume is the mask your using.. Then create an outbound nat for this network.. Here is my example of my 100 using my 192.168.9 lan network as the source.

nat.jpg

 

Keep in mind using your own networks - I just did this as example for you..

 

No 192.168.100 is not on my network -- here is what I am talking about, I can access my modem that is on my wan via its 192.168.100.1 without having to do anything it talks to it from my wan IP.. Here is packet capture on pfsense wan with me accessing http of my modem.

trafficwithoutnat.jpg

 

internet - cablemodem - 192.168.100.1 --- publicIP pfsense -- I have multiple networks on this side 192.168.9/24 is my lan, 192.168.2/24 wlan, etc. etc. etc...

 

Here is how it looks when I do a nat and create a vip of 192.168.100.2 on my wan interface..  You see pfsense says Its coming from the vip of 192.168.100.2 not its public IP..

Is that more clear now??

thanks BudMan. I given this a quick go and not had success. Currently 192.168.2.1 redirects to my pfSense web interface!?

 

Not sure how Ive managed that! Before you say anything, let me investigate a little tomorrow. It's late here so I need sleep but I will have a play after work tomorrow, I would like to understand what's happening myself if I can.

 

Will update with progress tomorrow.

Your 100% sure pfsense has public IP on its wan.. And not 192.168.2.1 while your router is 192.168.2.254 or something..

 

See my wan has public!!

Do you have any port forwards setup on your old router??  Say for port 80?

Its weird, When I had the Sky Router, My advertised speed was in the high 18's and 19's but when I put my own gear on the end even though my own gear is MUCH better (Enterprise stuff) I struggle to get over 16.

what stuff?  How is your connection setup?

 

I am running pfsense on getting long in the tooth hp microserver N40L which isn't much at all from horse power standards even when it was new.. And have no issues maxing out my paid for internet connection of 75/12 and I normally see 80+ down and 12 up when using speedtest.. And other tests of downloads from server on the other side of the globe shows yeah getting great speeds right in that ballpark, etc.

 

If you can not manage to get your very low speeds of 20mbps with anything close to current hardware you have something wrong with your isp or your connection or your testing methods, etc.

I don't know what you mean by my old router. Either way, the answer is no. No port forwards set up on 80. I used to have ports forwarded prior to my reinstall of pfSense. Now I have no forwards set up.

 

I suspect that my issues might be coming from automatic rules, but I don't seem to be able to edit/disable them. See below for what my NAT mappings looks like:

I had no problems prior to my current issues. Line speed was what I was paying for without problems. Sadly now its a different story!

This is actually the exact same hardware I am running my pfSense VM on :)

Why is 192.168.2.0/24 in your automatic rules?  That shouldn't be there you created the 192.168.2 on your wan as a vip..  To me that shows you have 192.168.2.0/24 on your lan/private side of pfsense.

 

So for example when I create that 192.168.100 vip for my example setup you can see its not listed in my automatic rules.

 

Pfsense would not create an automatic rule for 192.168.2.0 unless you have it setup on some lan/opt interface..

Found the problem. I still had a static route setup from when I was experimenting earlier. Deleted that and now mappings look like this:

 

Screen Shot 2016-08-15 at 17.11.05.png

 

192.168.2.1 is still sending me to pfSense web interface though. I reloaded the filters, is there anything else I need to do to update?

Hey budman, are you still about these parts?

 

I wonder if you could provide some assistance on this topic again. I've just changed ISP and am now connecting via PPPOE. You said that was different a different case, would you be able to elaborate, am I still able to achieve the same result using this WAN connection method?

    • AMD RX 9070 GRE AI, Blender benchmarks vs 9070 XT, 7800XT, Nvidia RTX 5070, 4070

      By IT Cures · Posted

      Good review, and yeah the benchmark breakdown is pretty clear but also a little messy in a good way. It’s kinda interesting to see where the RX 9070 GRE slides in between the 7800 XT and the 9070 XT , especially when it comes to AI tasks and Blender style workloads. The side by side with Nvidia’s RTX 5070 and 4070 makes it feel obvious just how competitive the mid range GPU scene has gotten lately, and that’s great for creators and gamers too since you can pick based on your priorities rather than only chasing one single thing.

      Microsoft Weekly: new Surface, Windows 11 26H2, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing Windows 11 version 26H2, launching new Surface devices powered by Snapdragon X2 processors, GTA VI preorder date and cover art, fresh Windows 11 preview builds, a quirky phone-sized e-reader with a physical dial, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. Windows 11 version 26H2 is now official. Alongside Windows 11's new preview builds released this week, Microsoft confirmed version 26H2, which is coming later this year as an enablement package based on the same platform as versions 24H2 and 25H2. A newly published blog post details what IT admins should do to prepare for the upcoming launch. Next, we have new Windows 11 bugs. Users report that this month's security updates for Windows 11 cause all sorts of issues, including BitLocker bugs, OneDrive issues, black screens of death, and third-party integration in Office apps. Microsoft has not confirmed those yet, but it acknowledged other issues with its operating system. What Microsoft has confirmed is a bug where Recycle Bin delete prompts display internal file names instead of actual ones, and a year-old Windows JScript compatibility bug caused by security-focused engine changes. Moving to more positive news, Microsoft and Adobe are working on improving Windows performance in popular creative apps like Photoshop. Thanks to SPGO optimizations, users can expect up to 20% better performance. Finally, we have a few useful articles that can help you recover your PC or make it perform better. For one, we published a guide detailing what to do if your computer cannot boot after a clean Windows 11 install. There are two important steps you can try to get your system back to working in no time. Additionally, there is a more detailed guide on various CPU performance modes that could notably improve performance. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Builds 28120.2315 and 29613.1000 These two builds include a new built-in audio driver, improvements to audio Settings, and more. Dev Channel Builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690 Not much is available here. Some File Explorer improvements, Start menu enhancements, bug fixes, and more. However, build 26300.8697 is now officially marked as version 26H2. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. This week, Microsoft announced its newest Surface devices powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon X2 processors. There is the 12th-gen Surface Pro and the 8th-gen Surface Laptop. Both devices feature little to no visual differences compared to their predecessors from 2024, and most changes hide inside, including a better processor, faster graphics, enhanced NPUs, and more. The Surface Laptop also received a new haptic trackpad. Mozilla is currently working on a major Firefox redesign, and earlier this week, it published a roadmap of upcoming features and highlights of the upcoming "Project Nova" rework. Files, one of the best file managers for Windows 10 and 11, has been updated in the Preview channel with a long-requested feature. Tree View is finally available in version 4.1.4, allowing you to quickly browse deeply nested folders without leaving the main view. In addition, the update improved the Windows Fonts folder, allowing you to preview each font without opening the default viewer. Rufus, another useful Windows 11 utility, also received a notable update. Version 4.15 arrived as beta with important fixes for silent Windows 11 installation. It also includes patches for ARM-based Windows PCs, OneDrive removal improvements, and more. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: Microsoft faces shareholder lawsuit over masking AI costs and slowing Azure growth Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: NVIDIA 610.62 with support for Empulse and various fixes. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Earlier this week, we reviewed the DuRoBo Krono, a portable, phone-sized e-reader with some interesting physical controls. This device has an Apple Watch-like dial for page turning, frontlight adjustment, and more. Software is simple and no-nonsense, but it also lacks some useful features and customization. Overall, the device proved interesting, but not flawless. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Forza Horizon 6 received two big updates this week. Alongside the Series 2 content update, developers pushed plenty of bug fixes and balancing tweaks. However, they also had to acknowledge the Eliminator CR-farming exploit and shut down the online mode temporarily. Luckily, only a few days later, another fix arrived, which re-enabled Eliminator and patched the exploit. Microsoft announced new games for Game Pass subscribers. Those include EA Sports FC 26, Junkster, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Abyssus, RV There Yet?, and more. Some existing games are leaving the catalog, so be sure to check out the full list here. New games are also available for GeForce NOW subscribers, and they include Embers of the Uncrowned Demo, Aphelion, Megastore Simulator, OPERATOR, Citizen Sleeper, and more. Rockstart Games had plenty of GTA-related news this week. For one, the company gave GTA V players another free update. Those still playing the game on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are no longer required to pay $40 to upgrade to the latest-gen version. More importantly, Rockstar Games revealed the GTA VI cover art and announced the preorder date. The Epic Games Store is giving away two games: Citizen Sleeper and Roboeat.

So kick back, relax, and hold on to your wallets. The Epic Games store brought along two games from wildly different genres this week for PC gamers to claim. Robobeat is a rhythm-based action game that lets you become a bounty hunter that can wall run, slide, and bunny hop around his opponents. All you have to do is stick to the beat for the built-in or custom songs. Next, Citizen Sleeper is a sci-fi RPG adventure taking place in a ruined space station. It uses tabletop RPG-inspired elements like dice rolls and timers to change up how players approach its activities, factions, and storylines. The Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat giveaways end on June 25. On the same day, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought will become the next freebies. The bundle space expanded with two more collections from Humble this week too. The June 2unes bundle is up first, carrying plenty of rhythm games. This carries Kill the Music and Rhythm Witch in the $5 starting tier, followed by Trombone Champ, Spin Rhythm XD, and Thumper in the $7 tier. Paying at least $12 gets you the complete bundle, which adds on Kalpa: Cosmic Symphony, Everhood 2, NOISZ, and Sixtar Gate: StarTrail. The next bundle is for virtual reality fans. This carries Among Us 3D: VR and Zero Caliber VR for $10. The next tier brings in Tactical Assault VR, Ancient Dungeon, and Arizona Sunshine Remake for $15. VTOL VR, Zero Caliber 2 Remastered, Metro Awakening, and Thief VR land to finish things off for $18.
