    Yeah I usually nuke the content entirely these days just to make it cleaner but I think only admin can do that. I can at least clean that up.

    The mail reports package can run any custom command you want and the output is included in the e-mail inline as text, however it can only e-mail to one address (the one configured to receive notifications) That's not to say it someone couldn't use that code as a base to do what you're after. All the functionality is there to e-mail anywhere there's just not an option in the GUI to set that up. (to e-mail people, not to generate the user reports) If someone can come up with a way to make the reports per-user using a command line script, then the mail reports package could do what you're after with some modifications.

    I don't think you'll find anyone here who will advocate running pfSense as a web or mail server. It is a cut-down install of FreeBSD, many of the components you would need are not present and would require installing. By the time you have installed all the software you need to do this you will likely have broken pfSense in some fundamental way or at the very least reduced it's security below what is acceptable for a firewall. People have done it in the past however and there are some long complex threads about it here. IMHO, it would be far better to use an OS designed to offer all-in-one, like Zentyal or SME Server, or install FreeBSD and configure it to your liking. A good compromise, if you want to run pfSense and I'm in favour of that  ;), would be to run the box as a VM host with pfSense and your servers as VMs. There are many users running that setup. Steve

    @podilarius: Could you post what all you have done to try to choke it? It would be nice to show what all pfSense can do. Handled an internal packet storm like a champ.

    BIOS is as follows: for the slave (hdd) IDE CHANNEL 0 SLAVE = AUTO Access Mode = Auto Capacity: 60015 Cylinder: 28728 Head: 16 Precomp: 0 Landing Zone: 28727 Sector: 255 for the master (Original CF Card) IDE CHANNEL 0 Master = Auto Access Mode: CHS Cylinder: 980 Head: 16 Precomp: 0 Landing Zone: 979 Sector: 32 Sorry, I don't have what is written on the drive for it's listed specs. it's a WDC WD600UE-00KVT0 I really struggled at 1st with getting this to work until i found the ata.ata_dma=0 trick. Until i applied that setting pf would try to boot but struggled with accessing the drive. I am on day 5 of my install and no indication as of yet to any issues with the drive or file system.

    On TWC RoadRunner myself.  Setup the firewall rules and I'm seeing pfSense blocking 173.194.55.0/24 when accessing YouTube.  Stream still goes through rather nicely using 720p.  I'll keep this thread updated with my own results after even further testing. Thanks for the heads up.

    We don't have a way to sign a cert in the GUI, since if you have access to the CA in the GUI it's much easier just to create the cert on the box with the CA and export it from there to be imported on the other unit.

    Threads lock themselves after a certain time limit to prevent people from hijacking old irrelevant threads. The last post on that other thread is correct, it is best to separate your switch's management into its own separate VLAN so it is not on LAN. How you do that depends on your switch. It's also best to move your default user ports to a different VLAN so that VLAN1 is only internal switch traffic. You can access it on another VLAN by having pfSense's port tagged for both the user VLAN and management VLANs and have pfSense setup an interface on the other VLAN's subnet, and you can route between them. The advice on the other thread was solid, but it was apparently a different issue than you were seeing, so your solution may or may not actually be relevant to that thread.

    @cmb: Looks like referer spam. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Referer_spam Thanks!  Interesting that it suddenly appears so quick from so many different sources… Then it kinda rolls off after a couple of days and I won't see but one or two a week if things follow suit the same way as last time. Firewall is nowhere close to being saturated but Id like to make sure my webserver isn't infected.

    Just add a firewall rule that sends all traffic with destination 'medicover.pl' via a single WAN. See attached picture for an example. I have an alias 'load balance exceptions' where I have a list of websites that don't work with multiple WAN connections. Traffic destined for those is routed only via the default WAN but you could specify which WAN to use there. Alternatively if you really want only failover, and not load balancing, then lower the priority of one WAN in the gateway group.

    The simple way is to use a WLAN AP instead of a built-in WiFi card. No driver issues and easier to upgrade to newer WLAN standards. It doesn't look as nifty, though. However, it would allow you to hide the pfSense box away and just have the AP placed at the optimum location.
