    @stephenw10 This is my final note since it seem you will always look at this as an endpoint. It doesn't appear, it actually is, the facts are the facts. Still, moderator usually have a way to remove posts and ban single users, not just the entire herd, or at least the ones use. Perhaps those are more advance, or perhaps netgate forums lack that functionality. I never said negate took this issue lightly, I was just looking for some feedback. I have seen this process many times and for the looks of it, pfsense CE is very much in maintenance mode. Just because netgate wants to be politically correct does not mean it is not. The fact are there and they are fallowing the same path as others did. Again, this subject is just becoming redundant and it is affecting other users in the forum.

    As a follow-up on this post, I ended up purchasing a used 2-port intel server NIC. This solved the problem, which seems to be related to the Realtek NIC's on the motherboard

    @grimson said in Should i cancel my fios gigabit plan|VPN speed only 200+mbps: @jegr said in Should i cancel my fios gigabit plan|VPN speed only 200+mbps: I want some of that money-printing-thingy, too :D No problem: Rent a few cheap VPS and install OpenVPN on them, create a decent looking website with lot's of FUD and offer your service as the salvation there. Et voila you are your own VPN provider. OK should clearly have inserted that "sarcasm" or "irony" holding smiley there ;) @johnpoz said in Should i cancel my fios gigabit plan|VPN speed only 200+mbps: To your fingerprinting - up your IP is kind of minor thing these days.. New firefox is going to implement some sizing stuff that the tor browser been doing to try and remove one of the things used to fingerprint. Aye, of course there are more countermeasures today. But even back in the '09s it was already shady to "trust" those services implicitly with all information. As everyone can research, there were quite a few companies selling "secure private VPNs" giving away user information afterwards or tracking things like website and app usage etc. So when someone sees one of those "unbelievable offers" of a lifetime/10years/whatever long time VPN membership for only 99.99$ (or whatever) one should ask: is that really viable? Or are you simply buying snakeoil.

    Ah, ok, now we are getting somewhere ... Still, what does this CA cert has to do with it ? Anyway. When you use solutions that block 'some users' to visit 'some sites' you need to read awful lot of information. Because you have to understand the why / what / when. Added to that : when you have a working situation, you have to survey it constantly as your are using rather complicated solution that can change any moment. This is a topicality : you want something, so you implement something (like driving that car you bought - you do it, because no one will be there for you for your car). So, read the forums I mentioned. Try something like Google pfsense block Facebook - just read and you will get the picture. Have a look at the Netgate's Videos about this subject (Youtube => Netgate). Btw : I never ever I block 'some sites' for some of the visitors or my colleagues or who eve on my networks. I'm using pfSense in a company - not some family or related environment. I also tend to keep things simple.

    For posterity... I enabled SSH and logged in as root. I grep’d around for a bit (searching for my street name!) and found /cf/config/config.xml. There was an erroneous entry for a failover peer under the DHCP section. I deleted that entry and rebooted and all was well.

    The Resolver should be activated, or the Forwarder. One or the other. Both : impossible. Up to you to choose one. However : The Resolver (or Forwarder) has to be set up correctly. When you installed pfSense, the Resolver is activated and will work right out of the box. No changes from you are needed. Running pfSense with no Resolver neither Forwarder is no advised at all. And what about answering questions ? Like the one @JeGr asked ?

    I would just host it on he.net or dyndns or the domain registrar or something. Else you'll need to use the bind package. The book is available at the link in my sig. There is no pdf download.

    @wgentine said in Did I just overclocked my apu2c4 (AMD GX-412TC SOC)?: Not supposed to resurrect this post but pcengines had just enabled AMD Core Performance Boot feature: https://3mdeb.com/firmware/amd-cpu-boost/ Anyone fancy trying out? Thanks for the link, I can't compare as I don't have a test setup at the moment. I am running v4.9.02 (switched from legacy to main bios version) for more than 2 weeks now and I noticed a drop of more than 10% in the temp, should indicate something. This post is a bit old so maybe take a look here https://forum.netgate.com/topic/95148/pc-engines-apu2-experiences/218

    @epsense said in ExpressVPN not working with 2.4.4-REALEASE-p1, help! see config: @vincepro, hello have you fix your problems yet setup ExpressVPN on pfsense? I’m new on pfsense myself, but I finally got my ExpressVPN to work on pfsense. Took me a couple days, but it’s up and running. I did try to write a how-to but netgate would not let me post stating its spam:( They don't "say" it's spam, but the spamfilter of the forums detect it that way, most possibly because it has links/URLs in it, that cause it. Try using code blocks etc. for better visibility anyway. Otherwise after getting a few the restrictions are lowered so less likely to tagged spam. Or send your "howto" to one of the mods to post, there are always ways to do things :)
