  If you're authenticating against Freeradius the users only need to exist there.

  If you have 100s of users though I'd consider using an external radius server. The Freeradius package in pfSense is not really optimised for large numbers like that.

  Redmine has been updated to reflect the testing done by @mcury so there is official guidance regarding treating this set up with dynamic routing.

  I would take it a step further and make the declaration that if your firewall is running dynamic routing protocols (BGP/OSPF) then disable reply-to system wide and make sure you are using floating state policy. I wouldn't do it on a per-rule basis as that's not scalable - prone to error as you miss a rule with those advanced options set.

  @johndoe102 said in Netgate 4200 thermal question:

  In my case , my Netgate 4200 is placed in the basement with ambient temperature of 16-18 C and I also had about 50 C of the CPU temperature. So I decided to place a 140mm fan running all the time on top of the Netgate 4200 and now I have about 20-24 C

  I had a similar situation with mine. Sticking a fan to the top cut the temps to about half.

  It looks like unified web management could be coming soon. It would be great if it means easier control and management of all web services in one place. Let's see if any companies announce more details about it!

  @stephenw10 said in Is my math correct about PCIe bandwidht and 10Gbps NICs ?:

  Only if you are trying to use both ports at full duplex. Which very rarely happens IMO.

  Thanks Stephen, I will get one of those.. 👍

  I have an AMD B550 chipset, which the DMI connection (from chipset to CPU), is PCI 3.0 x4.
  I have doing some math with that also, and even using a NVME PCI 3.0 and a few SATA drives, won't saturate that link with this NIC (single port).
  I have also a NVME PCIe 4.0, but that is directly connected to the CPU, so no chipset lanes used here.

  I will use it in my server, connect it directly to a USW-Enterprise-PoE-8 switch through a DAC cable since local users will be connecting to it using 2.5Gbps ports, and also some connections from the Internet.
