    @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.

    Well, my VPNs in the USA are mostly on fiber so they are not a problem. Very speedy.  Locally here in Manila, internet can turn to mush pretty fast, so every little trick helps. I'll be glad if HULU emulates netflix in the future.  Besides the ease of networking and IPv6 compatibility, Netflix HTML5 is much less processor intensive than hulu Flash.  Lower processor load=lower wattage = lower power bill.  Here electric is almost 3x the usa price.

    Well, given I can't find anymore info on this, I decided to 'take the dive'. I've ordered 160 Cable, and will use this to swap my VDSL to be the backup, and cable the primary one. Total costs stays the same, so let's hope this helps fixing my ISP-crap. Thank you all for commenting  ;D

    We use GTA firewalls "http://www.gta.com/", I contacted the supplier and indeed. He told us we used a bug to make it work with our firewall. I am going to put the servers behind a router now to fix this issue. Thank you for the info !

    @stephenw10: One things occurs to me here. Did you change the sysctls that control bridge filtering? If not then the pf filtering is disabled on the bridge interface by default. That would imply any rules on your WAN interface are disabled, including the default drop rule. Of course in order to get to the WAN interface all incoming traffic has to go via the modem or server interfaces so default rules apply there. Is that what you found? Steve net.link.bridge.pfil_bridge Set to 1 to enable filtering on the bridge interface is set to 1.  This must be a hold over from another time I was messing.  I thought it was set default so I didn't mention it.  Im adding it to the logs above.. Thanks Steve!

    @pfBug: I don't suppose there is a way to block out going traffic on a specific port? Sure there is. If you're using pfSense as a firewall you would just add a block rule of the LAN interface (or omit any allow rule). However I think the source of your initial confusion here is that you have interpreted the the results of your nmap scan incorrectly. The fact that port 3389 is shown as blocked does not mean that your loacl network is preventing that traffic leaving but rather the remote network is preventing it from entering. It also does not mean that the remote network restricts outgoing traffic at all. It is showing only the restrictions on incoming traffic. Steve

    I guess you are referring to some of the instructions in the README file at https://github.com/individual-it/bandwidthd-pSQL-frontend Those are simply a straight copy of the README from another distribution of that stuff. Those instructions are not specifically modified for the way it works on pfSense. On pfSense, you send data to a database by filling out the relevant fields on the bandwidthd GUI settings page - like the attachment. No editing of conf file is needed, the package code writes that for you based on the GUI settings. [image: bandwidthd-settings.png] [image: bandwidthd-settings.png_thumb]

    Need a new console server

    @iraiam: I want to build a new "console server" for my network and lab soon. my current one is an energy hog for what it does.  It's an old XP machine with dual Moxa 8 port serial cards installed. It's a Pentium 4 3.6 GHZ, not a bad machine but wasteful for a console server. I really want to build a rack mount machine, but I'm having trouble finding an atom motherboard that will accept 2 PCIe x1 expansion cards. I guess I could use a Celeron as well. I'll probably stick with Windows, although I could go Linux and use VNC for remote operation.       any Ideas? You might be able to claim your free $15 from Intel http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/10/31/fifteen_whole_dollars_on_offer_for_cranky_pentiums_4_buyers/

    Most people looking for numbers are doing so because they want to know if a particular combination of hardware will max out their wan bandwidth. Since almost all the rug rats have flown the nest, that will never happen now  ;) Thanks for the responses y'all. It sounds as though I don't have much to worry about any more. Since I am a hobby "builder" for the most part, I was more or less curious about other sites that could possibly exist and do what shields up does. I was getting kinda bored with just building windows machines and have had a blast with my recent experiences building first a freenas server, and now a firewall router. The members at these sites are just so helpful and generous with their time that it makes all this possible for me and I am extending a hearty thank you to all of you. Dave
