    @microserfs and what IP was that - clearly your current IPv6 address is not block that I show you connected with.. And the only other IPv4 I see you using is not blocked.. You would have to let me know what IP you were coming from that was blocked.. Send it to me via PM if you don't want to make it public.

    Name it "run.sh", copy to pf and chmod according documentation
    https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/development/boot-commands.html#shell-script-option
    You will see messages in the system log like those quoted in the script after logger command.

    So you set it up how exactly?
    https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Using_Captive_Portal_with_FreeRADIUS#Amount_of_Traffic

    So you have your cron job setup?  Did you remember to set the reauth "re-authenticate users every minute is enabled"

    Its impossible to guess where your problem is without any details to your setup.

    Got it all sorted out now. Thanks. Netgear’s documentation is rather limited sometimes and their support is not the fastest but got all my misconfigurations corrected.

    Exactly - that is a given on anything you edit.. Be it a word doc or a excel spreadsheet, or a config from your cisco router or your html, etc. etc.. Never directly edit the original - that is asking for trouble… Always work with a copy..

    Netflix is FreeBSD and represents about 30% of all peak Internet traffic. That's not including any routers or firewalls based/are *BSD that traffic goes through. I wouldn't be surprised if *BSD represents 50%+ of all traffic.

    Update: My problem is solved.

    It was NOT the NICs at all.  I had turned in the Traffic Shaper and set just under the max provisioned rates.  Apparently the default algorithm was in conflict in some way with the FIOS algorithm and it had a large negative impact on throughput.

    I deleted the Traffic Shaper I now see around 900 Mb/s both directions with a maximum of 5% CPU utilization on my pfSense box.

    Hi,

    For a 'local LAN', create a file and mention all IP's - IPv4 and IPv6 if you need them - add also the host names.

    Every device you add to your network has DHCP client enabled - keep it that way.

    Add a DHCP-static leases to pfSense for every device that makes part of your network. The DHCP leases (and IPv6 page) page should reflect 100 % the file you created.

    Backup pfSense regularly.

    Guests and other non trusted devices : no static lease, keep them on a separate network.

    You're asking for help with commands for an HP switch?  Maybe the General Questions support forum would be a better place for this question.

  • Access pfSense alias from other boxes

    To expound a bit on what @kpa is saying –-

    Aliases defined on the FIREWALL >> ALIASES tab in pfSense eventually wind up defined as pf tables.  The table name matches the alias name, and the table's content will be the IP address or addresses the alias resolves to at run time.  So the CLI command he gave an example of is used to dump out the contents of a specific table name.  In the example given, the table name is "bogons".

    If you don't know the table name in advance, you can do this to get a list of all the tables –

    /sbin/pfctl -s Tables

    You could code all this in a shell script to list the tables and then grab the contents (IP addresses) of each table.

    This isn't a support forum.  Perhaps try the General Questions forum under pfSense English Support.
