    @g405tsh311 The thread was locked because the Netgate folks don't like people busting their balls about the ISO issue. They're tired of Chinese hardware vendors pumping out mini-pcs with pfSense preinstalled so removing the latest ISO makes it a bit more difficult for those vendors. Unfortunately, it also makes it more difficult for everyone else. You aren't the first to complain and you won't be the last.

    Solved: More Information About My Fix: -I wasn't right with my last post. I've solved the issue after a month of trial..(and error)... I should get 400mbps. My town is slow with advertised speeds. However, I realized that my modem was a problem...and also pfSense 3100-SG (bc of my configuration.) I had an ISP modem. I bought my own modem. Solved it. Done. I also Over-Did pfBlock-NG. Way too much blocking. The -devel- suggested blocking along with the lists I like made the connection messed up. I narrowed it down to a great listed from git and dshield. I am going perfect for 2 weeks.

    Depends on what you're actually talking about and how the traffic is routed to you.

    What you enter into the Local Networks box is translated into the “push route” option in the config. So entering your networks into the Local Networks box is the preferred way to go.

    Chill out. You are spamming the thread. Maybe it correctly identified your behavior. Take a while. Collect your thoughts. It's a forum, not a stream-of-consciousness chat server. This thread has outlived its usefulness, and all questions have already been answered. It's not intended to be for rants.

    @stephenw10 Curiously enough, on my initial install with package manager, my services - lcdproc config screen was empty. I uninstalled the package earlier this afternoon and as luck would have it could not try the reinstall until now. 2nd time was the charm it seems. Thanks for the reply. Gord

    It's most likely the proxy or pfB. Properly disable them and try your test again. If you're running squid in transparent mode, you could add your site's hostname to the Bypass Proxy for These Destination IPs list.

    A more up-to-date pfSense?

    @jantypas said in A more up-to-date pfSense?: Dare I say it, other than pf filters, what is BSD about pfSense that couldn't be ported to a modern Linux environment? You've already heard of TNSR? There are a few things you scratch, why it's running on a Linux core (FD.io & DPDK and more). As SCLR was also mentioned besides TNSR a year or so ago, I was instantly thinking: Hmm.. 'pfSense 3.0' could very well be something along the lines of SCLR. Same fast core underneath with fd.io/dpdk with CLI, API etc. and "just" put a pfSense style UI on top (docked via API). So I don't think it impossible you get away with murder ;) OTOH some have to see, that pfSense Devs already do and commit much of their stuff upstream into FreeBSD so... calling BSD dying etc. has been going on for years. It's still there :) Any way I think we still have much to see where this is headed. Greets

    The block function only works by source IP address. That's just how the utility was coded. It's original purpose was for blocking and passing items seen in the firewall log. From there, the most secure choice was to assuming blocking meant anything from that address, and for passing the most secure choice was to be specific and only pass to one IP address/proto+port.

    A bridge is nothing more than a switch... If you need more ports on a L2, use a switch.. How about some details of what your trying to do exactly. What is this device/thing/whatever your trying to connect to a network? And what are the details of the network you want to connect to. Is wireless involved? I can tell you most of the time - bridging would not be the right solution ;) Unless you are talking about bridging a wireless to wired?? Nobody can help you make a decision or even explain why you would want to do XYZ vs ABC without some details!

    @harvy66 ryzern is leaps better than the failed design that was the construction series. The biggest issue is hardware support under BSD. There's not many server boards around for ryzen as AMD has positioned ryzen for the desktop. EPYC and threadripper are the cpus that support server boards. if you build a ryzen system do not use the onboard nic if it is anything other than intel or broadcom. those other winnics will cause issues with pfsense down the road..if not immediately.

    @johnpoz said in LARGE IP SUBNETS.: Optimal design of the lan is quiet often overlooked ;) See it all the time.. But everything is connected at gig why I am I not getting gig.. The NAS is X*SSD in a raid 0, etc. Well - lets see you have 100 users talking to all kinds of stuff intervlan with your 10 different vlans all on the same physical 1 gig interface... Yeah your router is a freaking BEAST and can see its not breaking a sweat... Your road between is just overused... Suppose to be able to go 55 on the highway as well, but when its crowded and over used.. Can you go 55 ;) I have 10gb Uplink Modules for each of the switches, so no problem in that regard. I'm also having fiber run between 2 floors of the building. I might set up LAG teams for NAS however.
