Hi,
just migrated my IPCOP firewall to Endian Firewall because the additional features looked very nice. After migration some problems appeared so that I had to switch back to IPCOP.
My Version: Endian Firewall Community release 2.2: EFW-COMMUNITY-2.2-200905211506.iso
Problems:
- PPTP Uplink:The uplink (PPTP) is not reconnected after a failure or the daily connection drop done by my provider:
System status shows:
Failure! Last retry although the uplink is managed.
Last syslog messages before attempts are stopped:
Sep 16 02:10:07 pptp[19796]: pptp log[pptp_read_some:pptp_ctrl.c:537] read returned zero, peer has closed
Sep 16 02:10:05 pppd[19788] Exit.
Sep 16 02:10:05 pppd[19788] Connection terminated.
Sep 16 02:10:05 pppd[19788] Modem hangup
No DYNDNS update is performed after a manual reconnect to the ADSL modem. The host entry is enabled.
A manual update (Force update) partly works. Sometimes the update is done on the second attempt. This behavior is not reproducible.
- Port Forwarding:After a manual reconnect the whole port forwarding firewall (incoming connections) is locked.
It can be solely unlocked by changing a port forwarding setting (e.g.: disable / enable – apply).
- Firewall GREEN:The firewall logs and drops packages sent to the broadcast address (x.x.x.255) of the GREEN network although the traffic GREEN -> GREEN <ANY> is allowed in the Inter-Zone firewall.
e.g.:
Sep 16 20:18:22 INPUTFW:DROP br0 KEY_UDP 192.168.2.27 138 fa:fc:15:00:03:00 192.168.2.255 138
A static PPTP Uplink cannot be configured because I am not able to configure the RED gateway address.
Error Message:
The gateway address is not within the RED IP space.If somebody could help with some of my problems I would be very happy.
