Does Tailscale need port forwarding?
Nearly all of the time, you don't need to open any firewall ports for Tailscale. Tailscale uses various NAT traversal techniques to safely connect to other Tailscale nodes without manual intervention—it “just works.”
How to set up WireGuard client on pfSense?
Install the WireGuard package
WireGuard is available as an experimental add-on package. Log in to pfSense using the web GUI. Go to System → Package Manager → Available Packages. Search for "wireguard", then click on the green + Install button and then the ✔ Confirm button.
Is Tailscale always free?
Personal will always be free
The Personal plan for using Tailscale for your personal use on your own devices, will always be free. We remember how hard it is to connect to our Pi-hole, or our Minecraft server, or our dogcam, and don't wish that on anyone. It's not going anywhere.
Does Tailscale change my IP?
Once issued, your node's IP address will not change for as long as the node remains registered. Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are fixed.
Can Tailscale see your traffic?
End-to-end encrypted
Tailscale is built on top of WireGuard®, a modern VPN that provides end-to-end encryption between devices. Tailscale cannot read your traffic.
Is Tailscale a SD WAN?
It's a bit like a VPN, but without the key management or server, and with the ability to connect to multiple locations at once. Or like software-defined networking (SD-WAN), but including even your employees' personal devices like Windows, macOS, and iOS.
Can I use Tailscale as a VPN?
Tailscale is a VPN service that makes the devices and applications you own accessible anywhere in the world, securely and effortlessly. It enables encrypted point-to-point connections using the open source WireGuard protocol, which means only devices on your private network can communicate with each other.
Is it safe to use Tailscale?
Tailscale is a secure network for WireGuard-encrypted traffic, requiring no configuration and no new firewall rules. It uses OAuth2 (SSO), OpenID, or SAML for authentication, and creates point-to-point, fully-encrypted connections between clients and servers.
Is pfSense WireGuard slower than OpenVPN?
WireGuard is twice as fast as OpenVPN, if implemented correctly. Neither protocol has any known security vulnerabilities. OpenVPN is better at bypassing censors (e.g. the Great Firewall of China) because it can use TCP port 443.
Does tailscale use WireGuard?
The answer is yes! Tailscale is built on top of WireGuard; we think very highly of it. We designed Tailscale to make it easier to use WireGuard to secure your network connections. You might decide to use WireGuard directly, without Tailscale.
Can I use WireGuard as VPN?
WireGuard is designed as a general purpose VPN for running on embedded interfaces and super computers alike, fit for many different circumstances. Initially released for the Linux kernel, it is now cross-platform (Windows, macOS, BSD, iOS, Android) and widely deployable.
Do I need Pihole if I have pfSense?
There is nothing to prevent running pfSense as your main firewall/router and having Pi-hole serve as the DNS servers for clients who use the pfSense box as their gateway. The pfSense box would perform all other firewall/routing duties, while the Pi-hole would serve as a DNS server that performs DNS sinkholing.
Can you run pi hole on pfSense?
Configure pfSense Router with Pi Hole
Please navigate to System General Setup DNS Server Settings from the menu above. We have to make sure to have added the Pi Hole IP address as a new DNS Server which is 10.0. 0.100 in this case. In addition to that, untick both of those options we will be able to find at the bottom.
What is better than pfSense?
OPNsense has a nicer user interface and seems to implement new features faster than pfSense. pfSense has been around for longer, so the community is bigger, and there's more documentation online.
How much RAM do I need for Pi-hole?
To deploy Pi-hole on your home network, make sure you have all of the following: A Raspberry Pi with at least 512MB of RAM (all Raspberry Pi versions satisfy this requirement) and Raspbian installed. An SD-card with at least 2GB of free space. Internet connection on your Raspberry Pi.
Can pfSense block ads?
DNS Blocking
pfBlockerNG can also control DNS Resolver access to prevent access to malicious websites such as advertisements, threats, and malware. DNS filtering is an effective method to filter tracking domains, malicious domains, and advertisements.
Is Pi Zero enough for Pi-hole?
Pi-hole is a Raspberry Pi-based network-wide ad filter. It can be easily installed on Raspberry Pi Zero by executing some installation commands on a Raspberry Pi running Raspberry Pi OS. Once installed, you can point your devices to use its IP address such that all traffic on these devices is routed through Pi-Hole.
Is Raspberry Pi Good for pfSense?
pfSense is a perfect network security solution that turns your device into a more robust home router. However, it only works on devices that support amd64 architecture; thus, it won't be able to run on a Raspberry Pi device that includes arm64 architecture.
Is Raspberry Pi enough for Pi-hole?
Pi-hole will work on any Raspberry Pi. For our tutorial, we'll be using a Raspberry Pi 4, and you will need a USB-C power supply. Older models will require a micro USB power supply. Because we are going to be running a headless setup, we won't need extra peripherals.
