i guess there is a hardware problem. when first time i installed pfsense system gave an error.

@fireman039:

Hi,
Can you tell me if 0.5.4 packages will available soon.
I want to ytry it with my Crystalfontz 635

Done! Here you find more details about it:
http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,44034.0.html

Consider that it is a developing version! In your case the driver you should use is: CFontzPacket.

Ciao,
Michele

1-why pfsense become slow?
2-Do you have any Precaution to overcome this problem?

take a look on this topic

Varnish was designed for reverse proxy, but can be used for proxy. it is fast on both situations

Squid was designed for proxy use, but can be used for reverse proxy. It has many features, but is not that fast.

With the following run command:

The active flow timeout that needs to be set in PRTG is 11 minutes.

Note, if you're utilizing VLANs and a single network interface like us then pfflowd will not correctly identify the source/destination vlan and you need to explicitly set the direction as either "in" or "out" for PRTG to not double count data.

done that . no luck

This was actually due to the nexthop received from the peer not being our proper nexthop; we had to update the config to have openbgpd set the nexthop to be our actual next hop. Moral of the story: nexthop has to be locally reachable, somehow.

That is to say, you must have a route that covers the IP given in the "Gateway" column of bgpctl show rib; if you do not, you must either add such a route or add this line:

set nexthop <gateway ip="" for="" isp="">to the neighbor config for the peer that's sending you BGP routes. (This automatically translates to a "match" filter rule that simply does the same thing, but I find this looks simpler and does not appear to be deprecated.)</gateway>

Hmmm… perhaps this is in the wrong forum?  As my query was browsing related and I'm using transparent squid I thought I'd post here.

But the most closely related threads I see from other members are over in the NAT section...

If this is the wrong spot mods let me know and I'll move this and post elsewhere - don't want to cross-post.

Hi,

I thought I did this with this line:

The cron tab changed to:

4      4      *      *        1  root    /usr/bin/nice -n20 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/squidGuard_logrotate

Which is - if I am right:
Every monday at 04:04AM, isn't it ?

If you do want to use auto-detect though and IE refuses to play ball I've often found it to be one of two things…

If you configured your wpad using DNS (and not DHCP) then make sure you've used an A record for the wpad entry, and not a CNAME.  For some reason IE doesn't like CNAME's....

IE sets a registry entry to store the results of its automatic detection ("Automatic Proxy Result Cache")... IE then stubbornly refuses to re-detect things if your WPAD changes  ::). So; if you deployed a broken WPAD.dat file as you were refining your javascript, IE will make a note it's broken and never bother to check if it's fixed.  I normally resolve this IE issue by resetting IE to it's default settings (tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced -> Reset...).  There are other ways but a google search will help you there, resetting IE doesn't bother me too much.  Note that as Chrome uses system proxy settings it too will suffer from this...  the reset of IE will fix both browsers.
(Make sure you've tested you're WPAD.DAT file using something free like pactester etc. so you know your WPAD.DAT is valid).

can these features are present in varnish:
1-Give report of cache material(Hint: Like the lightsquid provide report in squid)
2-I can give specific space in hard disk for cache material.
3-automatic cleaning of cache material will start when given space of hard disk is 95% fill(Hint :this function is present in squid).
4-cleaning method: remove those material which is most low used(Hint: this feature is present in squid)

I don't think so. You are comparing apple to oranges.

1 - Varnish use logs only in memory for better performance. When you want to debug, you need to dump logs from memory to disk with varnishlog.
    also take a look on varnishhist and varnishstat.
2 - you can change storage type to disk, but I do not recommend it.
   take a look on this topic about disk performance http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,43737.0.html
3 - Specify a cache size that do not full your filesystem
4 - you can purge things using management interface

Please, take a look at varnish documentation.
Varnish package gui has a lot of links to it.

The only one with snort args  ;)

Snort2c

take a look at varnish documentation.
Varnish is not so easy to configure, the gui helps, but it still need some varnish knowledge.
@crazyzoar:

Please tell me the configuration of varnish. i am new on pfsense.
i don't know that what values i shall have to write on varnish setting:
Listening port (usually 80)
Managment interface (usually localhost)
Advanced startup (usually empty)
Storage type (ram for better performance)
Cache storage size in megabytes/ (depends on how much ram/disk you have)
Minimum worker threads (could be 32 but depends on your hardware)
Maximum worker threads (could be 1024 but depends on your hardware)
Worker thread timeout (could be 300)
Client identity method (ip address is more compatible with sessions)
Don't cache posts (yes, don't)
Session Cache (per user is a good choice ) take a look on field documentation link
Cache static (when possible cache only in session, always remove cookies before cache)
Fix gzip compression recommended
Be RFC2616 compliant recommended
Foward client IP userfull to log remote ip on web servers using x-forwarder-varnish var
Fetch Grace How many time varnish will keep cached objects. HINT 60s, 30m, 1h
Retries how many times retry url before sending error to users or checking for fail over
Saintmode How many time varnish will send cached objects from a down backend to client. HINT 60s, 30m, 1h
Custom Html error message how to send error messages to users

Try to resintall from 2.0.1 to 2.0.2, no alert was generated.
I did the following:

remove 2.0.2

install 2.0.2

Services: Snort: Global Settings / Save

Snort: Interface Edit: / If Settings / Save

Services: Snort: Updates / Update Rules

Now alerts are generated  :)

It would be nice for fellow users having the same problem to know HOW you solved your problem..

I'm doing this, I have two pfsense as firewall with carp as firewall and also load balancing smtp connections to both smt servers.

I really like pfsense gui, sync and backup. That's why I'm porting these packages to it.

On large systems like this I have each service on it's own server.

But when a client has only one machine(not so good for virtualization) to use as firewall, proxy, etc it's good to have package options to build UTM with pfSense.

@sekular:

Looks like rrdtool download failed. This url works for me http://files.pfsense.org/packages/8/All/rrdtool-1.2.26_1.tbz try to go to that url manually to test connection.

can someone guide me how to install ntop package manually

you can use lightsquid for this
