Controlling Streaming Using PF
Hi,
Can I control streaming of videos in my LAN using PF? I have OpenBSD 5.3 firewall. Thanks |

Hi Jggimi,
Many thanks for your reply. I ment traffic shaping by the word "controlling" and ment watching videos online like YouTube by the word "streaming". If there is a way to shape video streaming traffic with my OpenBSD 5.3 firewall please guide me for that. Thanks |

You have two problems you must overcome. If you cannot overcome problem 1, there is no need to worry about problem 2.

Thanks a lot Jiggimi for your information. The main barrier that stop me from upgrading the firewall is the IPSEC VPN connection between my office and the remote office.
I came to know that the two locations should have the same firewall to keep the IPSEC VPN tunnel to function properly. I have the following questions to verify if I reinstall my firewall with the OpenBSD latest version : 1) Will the re-installation stops my IPSEC VPN connection since the remote office OpenBSD firewall has a different OS version (Beyond my control)? 2) What are the files that I should copy from my old firewall to the new firewall? ( pf.conf, sysctl.conf the entire ISAKMPD folder etc. ) 3) Do I have to run any commands to activate the IPSEC VPN in the new firewall after I copy the content from the current live Firewall? Thanks |

Your new questions deserve their own thread. One of the forum admins may split it into a new thread for you.
IPSec compatibility: To my recollection, the only upgrade that affected IPSec compatibility between OpenBSD releases was from 4.6 to 4.7, as noted in the Upgrade Guide for 4.6 -> 4.7 here: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade47.html#hmac-sha2. Your release is beyond this issue. I have reviewed the Upgrade Guides from 5.3 forwards, and do not see IPSec mentioned. But there was an announced change to IPSec at 5.8. From the release announcement at http://www.openbsd.org/58.html:: Quote:
In addition, at 5.9, an additional cipher was added as a security improvement, per the release announcement http://www.openbsd.org/59.html: Quote:
I recommend you install a test OpenBSD 6.0 release system on a spare disk drive (such as a USB memory stick), and test your current IPSec configuration with the new release. How to upgrade: The OpenBSD project supports only one form of upgrade: between adjacent releases. You can follow each Upgrade Guide and upgrade from 5.3 to 5.4, then from 5.4 to 5.5, and so on. Each Upgrade Guide describes the exact steps to take, and any manual changes you will need to make. This includes syntax changes needed in any configuration files, such as pf.conf, though the changes to PF syntax since 5.3 affect queuing and debugging, and may not affect your configuration at all. Because of the large number of releases you have missed, you may find reinstallation would be easier. Last edited by jggimi; 24th August 2016 at 12:46 PM. Reason: typos |

Hi Jggimi,
Many thanks for your time for your guidance and information. As you aid I will install a fresh OpenBSD 6.0 version as a backup and I will test my IPSEC VPN tunnel and the PF. Will get back to you after the testing. Thanking you again for your time and information |

Dear Ocicat,
I admit that I did a wrong thing. Hereon I will not do such things. Sorry for the thing that happened due to lack of knowledge and acting without thinking the forum policies. |
