I did a search on here but I didn't see it. Does anyone have a pfSense template for if you're running Drupal or a similar CMS, MySQL and services like that? I want to put two servers and one pfSense into a datacenter.

I think I will need the following services open:
  • http,
  • https,
  • SSH,
  • ftp,
  • OpenVPN,
  • VNC,
  • RDP,
  • SNMP?,
  • SMTP?
Does anyone have a pre-made template for this? If not, do I really just need to block all in pfSense as a final rule and put the above set into Firewall > Rules > WAN?
  • http, IPv4 + IPv6 TCP/UDP Pass
  • https, IPv4 + IPv6 TCP/UDP Pass
  • SSH, IPv4 + IPv6 TCP/UDP Pass
  • ftp, IPv4 + IPv6 TCP/UDP Pass
  • OpenVPN 1194-1196 (assuming I need 1194, 1195 and 1196 for different VPNs), IPv4 + IPv6 TCP/UDP Pass
  • VNC, IPv4 + IPv6 TCP/UDP Pass
  • RDP, IPv4 + IPv6 TCP/UDP Pass
  • SNMP?, IPv4 + IPv6 TCP/UDP Pass
  • SMTP? IPv4 + IPv6 TCP/UDP Pass
  • IPv4 + IPv6 ALL ALL Block
Is that really all there is to it? Is there a pre-made template? Would I need suricata or snort if I had this setup?
