  • OPNSense rules...

    From Shurato@21:2/148 to All on Thu Jul 31 19:22:00 2025
    How do I set this for a protocol? Google says it's an option, but it's
    not.

    I need to set 1 connection per IP for Telnet and SSH, 2 for NNTP and 3 for
    FTP, but I can't figure out how to do that...

    Ok, looks like it's max source states. If I set that, I have to pass the
    rule. Do I set this for LAN or WAN? I've tried both, applied the rule and
    was able to connect from an IP behind a VPN more than once with the max
    source states set to 1.

    That sounds nice until your terminal session locks up one day and you can't access your things because there's a stale connection and you have to get in from an alternate source which you may or may not have access to right at that time.

    There's a subreddit called shittysysadmin where someone complained that
    they applied their firewall rules on the wrong interface and locked
    themselves out of the network[1] and the responses were hilarious. This
    one made me cough up my coffee.

    "That's why I always configure a backdoor - TCP 3389 to my domain
    controller"

    "Please brother at least tell me you used Password1 and not just Password
    for administrator."

    "I used Summer2029!, so it'll be secure for another 3 years"


    [1] I've done that.

    Just for the BBS, not shell sessions.
