We are a dutch company with an office in the USA.
This office has an pfSense firewall device with the 182.12.12.12
IP address .
In the Netherlands' office we have an IP address like this: 100.12.10.12
Is there a way that we can set up a rule in pfSense that we (in the Netherlands) could ping 182.12.12.12
every 5 minutes (we already have a program for that) but just from the Netherlands' office so I can't ping the USA office let's say from my home.
If so, where can I set that up in pfSense?
Best Answer
ping
usesICMP
protocol. So basically you need to add/edit a rule in yourpfSense
firewall to allowICMP echo requests
if the IP address is100.12.10.12
.Go to
Firewall > Rules
and add a new rule which should have above criteria.Action
>Pass
,Interface
>WAN
,Protocol
>ICMP
,Type
>Echo request
,Source
>100.12.10.12
,Description
>Add description
Then click
Save
This should do it.
