pfSense » pfSense Packages

This inline notes on the sync page (Firewall --> pfBlockerNG --> Sync) need improving.

• Add: Allow Sync Pushes
  • This option should be off by default. It determines if this instance of pfBlockerNG will allow the reception of configuration sync pushes
• Enable Sync
  • rename this to Enable Sync Pushes
  • change the first line to include the word 'push' :: When enabled, this will sync all configuration settings to the Replication Targets by pushing the data.
  • 'Sync to configured system backup server' - Is this the pfSense backup server and where is this setting? Add notes.

• Disable General/IP/DNSBL tab settings sync
  • This is unclear if this option just disables the 3 areas or all of pfBlockerNG settings
  • Add check boxes (pre-checked) for each area of pfBlockerNG settings so a user can decide what they want to sync
• XMLRPC Replication Targets
  • Add a note you can use the admin account of the remote pfSense router but creating a second user in the admins group just for the pfBlockerNG syncs is preferable so you do not expose your primary admin account.
  • use the same protocol/ip/hostname/port of the remote pfSense router.
  • http is insecure because your password will be transmitted in plain text so use https
