+id: install_crowdsec_pfsense
+title: pfSense
+---
+
+We have created a [pfSense package](https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/packages/list.html) with
+a simple UI to configure the Security Engine and the Firewall Remediation Component (bouncer).
+
+Three types of setup are supported:
+
+**Small** (remediation only) - the pfSense machine receives blocklists from a CrowdSec
+Security Engine that you are running on a different machine.
+Incoming connections are blocked at the firewall by (configurable) pfSense rules.
+
+**Medium** (small+log processor) - in addition to enforcing blocklists, the pfSense
+machine can detect attacks directed at the firewall itself, for example port scans.
+The data about the attacks is sent (for analysis and possibly sharing) to a Security Engine
+that you are running on a different machine.
+
+**Large** (medium+LAPI) - deploy a fully autonomous Security Engine on the firewall
+system and allow other Log Processors to connect to it. Requires a persistent `/var`
+directory (no RAM disk) and a slightly larger pfSense machine, depending on the amount
+of data to be processed.
+
+If you are not already a CrowdSec user, the Large setup is the easiest: just leave the default
+values to enable remediation, log processor and Local API.
+
+:::info
+The CrowdSec configuration is not transferred when you restore a pfSense backup, and you'll need
+to reconfigure it or backup separately.
+:::
+
+## Installing the package
+
+We have submitted the package to the pfSense developers for review and inclusion in the official repositories.
+
+If you find `crowdsec` under `System/Package Manager`, we recommend you to install it from there.
+
+If the package is not available yet, you'll have to install it manually.
+
+ * Choose [the release you want to install](https://github.com/crowdsecurity/pfSense-pkg-crowdsec/releases),
+   click `Assets` for the list of packages to install.
+
+ * Open an ssh connection to your pfSense box and run the following commands in the right order. Do not activate or run the services,
+   because pfSense will take care of it.
+
+```console
+# setenv IGNORE_OSVERSION yes
+# pkg add <link to abseil>
+# pkg add <link to re2>
+# pkg add <link to crowdsec-firewall-bouncer>
+# pkg add <link to crowdsec>
+# pkg add <link to pfSense-pkg-crowdsec>
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+Once the package and its dependencies are installed, go to `Service/CrowdSec`. The options *Remediation Component*,
+*Log Processor* and *Local API* should be enabled. Click Save.
+
+With the size analogy, the default is a "Large", autonomous installation. For a "Medium", disable *Local API* and fill the fields in the *Remote LAPI* section. For a "Small", disable *Log Processor* too.
+
+CrowdSec on pfSense is fully functional from the command line but the web interface is read-only, with the exception of decision revocation (unban).
+Most actions require the shell or the [CrowdSec Console](https://app.crowdsec.net).
+For simple things, `Diagnostics/Command Prompt` works as well as ssh.
+You are free to edit the files in `/usr/local/etc/crowdsec`, although some setting may be overwritten by the pfSense package if they are mandatory.
+
+:::caution
+*Ram Disk*: unless you disable Local API, ensure that you are [not using a RAM disk](https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/config/advanced-misc.html#ram-disk-settings)
+for the /var directory. The persistent CrowdSec database and GeoIP tables are in `/var/db`.
+If you really need a RAM disk, you can still use the log processor and remediation but you will
+need to connect them to a remote CrowdSec instance.
+:::
+
+
+## Service Status
+
+In the page `Status/CrowdSec` you can see
+
+ - registered log processors and bouncers
+ - installed hub items (collections, scenarios, parsers, postoverflows)
+ - alerts and local decisions
+
+All tables are read-only with an exception: you can delete single decisions, to unban an IP for example.
+
+All hub objects are periodically upgraded with a cron job.
+
+
+## Detecting attacks
+
+If a Log Processor is running, the following scenarios are enabled by default:
+
+ - portscan
+ - ssh brute-force
+ - pfSense admin UI brute-force
+ - HTTP vulnerability probing
+
+These will trigger a ban on the attacking IP (4 hours by default) and report it to the CrowdSec Central API
+(meaning [timestamp, scenario, attacking IP](https://docs.crowdsec.net/docs/concepts/), for inclusion in the
+Community Blocklist.
+
+You can add scenarios to detect other types of attack on the pfSense server, or
+[connect several log processors](https://doc.crowdsec.net/docs/next/user_guides/multiserver_setup)
+to the same LAPI node.
+Other types of remediation are possible (ex. captcha test for scraping attempts).
+
+If disk space is not an issue, you can [increase the maximum size](https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/monitoring/logs/size.html)
+of log files before they are compressed and rotated. This will help us in case you report
+acquisition issues and we need to match the application behavior with the content of the acquired logs.
+
+We recommend you to [register to the Console](https://app.crowdsec.net/), especially if you protect several machines.
+
+
+## Processing logs
+
+If a collection, parser or scenario can be applied to a software that you are running on pfSense,
+you add it with `cscli collections install ...`, then you need to configure where CrowdSec will find the logs.
+
+New acquisition files should go in `/usr/local/etc/crowdsec/acquis.d/`. See `pfsense.yaml` for an example.
+The option `poll_without_inotify: true` is required if the log sources are symlinks.
+Make sure to reload or restart CrowdSec when you add new data sources.
+
+
+## Diagnostics
+
+Under `Diagnostics/CrowdSec` you can check if the logs are acquired and the
+events are triggered correctly. For real monitoring, you can fetch the same metrics with
+[Prometheus](https://docs.crowdsec.net/docs/observability/prometheus/) (Grafana dashboard included)
+Telegraf or your favorite solution.
+
+If you are not running a LAPI or a Log Processor, some metrics are always empty.
+
+
+## Logs
+
+You can see the Security Engine logs in `Status/System Logs/Packages/crowdsec`.
+
+Other logs not shown in the UI are in `/var/log/crowdsec/crowdsec_api.log`
+and `crowdsec-firewall-bouncer.log`.
+
+
+## Service Management
+
+Both services, Security Engine (crowdsec) and Remediation (crowdsec-firewall-bouncer) can be
+controlled from [Status/Services](/status_services.php).
+The equivalent shell commands are `service crowdsec.sh start/stop/restart` and `service crowdsec_firewall.sh start/stop/restart`. Note the ending **.sh**!
+
+## Viewing blocked IPs
+
+You can see the tables of the blocked IPs in Diagnostics/Tables or from the shell, with the commands
+`pfctl -T show -t crowdsec_blacklists` (IPv4) and `pfctl -T show -t crowdsec6_blacklists` (IPv6).
+
+To show the same data with more context, use `cscli decisions list -a`.
+
+## Testing
+
+A quick way to test that everything is working correctly end-to-end is to
+execute the following command.
+
+Your ssh session should freeze and you should be kicked out from
+the firewall. You will not be able to connect to it (from the same
+IP address) for two minutes.
+
+It might be a good idea to have a secondary IP from which you can
+connect, should anything go wrong.
+
+```console
+# cscli decisions add -t ban -d 2m -i <your_ip_address>
+````
+
+You may have to disable the *Anti-lockout* rule in
+`System/Advanced/Admin Access` for the time of the test.
+
+This is a more secure way to test than attempting to brute-force
+yourself: the default ban period is 4 hours, and CrowdSec reads the
+logs from the beginning, so it could ban you even if you failed ssh
+login 10 times in 30 seconds two hours before installing it.
+
+It must be noted that the [Login Protection](https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/config/advanced-admin.html#login-protection) service which is enabled by default on pfSense can be triggered - and block a brute force attacker - before CrowdSec does, because it's more sensitive. Still, some attacks that are not detected by Login Protection will be detected by CrowdSec and shared.
+If you need more CrowdSec tests you may want to temporarily disable Login Protection, depending on the scenario.
+
+## LAN / private networks whitelist
+
+By default the FreeBSD version of CrowdSec does not install any whitelist.
+If you trust your `10.0.0.0/8`, `192.168.0.0/16` and `172.16.0.0/12`
+networks, you can use `cscli parsers install crowdsecurity/whitelists` to whitelist them.
+
+## Uninstalling
+
+In most cases, just remove the `crowdsec` package from
+`System/Package Manager/Installed Packages`.
+This won't remove the database or configuration files, just in case
+you want to reinstall CrowdSec later.
+
+If you need to make sure you removed all traces of CrowdSec, you can run the following commands:
+
+```console
+# pkg remove pfSense-pkg-crowdsec crowdsec crowdsec-firewall-bouncer
+# rm -rf /usr/local/etc/crowdsec /usr/local/etc/rc.conf.d/crowdsec*
+# rm -rf /var/db/crowdsec /var/log/crowdsec* /var/run/crowdsec*
+```
+
+For testing purposes, you may want to remove the &lt;crowdsec&gt; section
+from `/conf/config.xml` as well.
+
+
+## The blocklist mirror
+
+Before releasing the official package, one way to integrate pfSense and CrowdSec
+was to install a blocklist mirror and connect it to pfBlockerNG. While this is still
+a viable solution, it has slower performance than the method described above,
+especially in terms of latency when receiving decision updates.
+It also required pfBlockerNG in addition to CrowdSec.
