    @Jailer: @BlueKobold: Or you will be able to connect to your home firewall through a VPN tunnel and then you use the Internet connection from your home. I could do this but it's not worth it. Browsing occasionally is one thing, circumventing security measures is quite another and would likely get me fired. No way in hell I'm going to risk my job for some occasional browsing. I don´t want that you loose your job, it was more in the meaning to get in contact with the admins in your company to ask for.

    I'd put ESX on the hardware (ESX should support the Intel NICs in the Jetway) and run pfsense as a virtual. Dump squid unless you want it as part of a URL filtering solution - and if you that that, run it on a separate virtual machine. This still leaves you some capacity for other fun things like an asterisk pbx.

    Finally did it! About 3.85Gb/s total throughput through the NAT while only using about 17% cpu. Of course this wasn't a PPS test, but standard 1500MTU. I just realized I forgot to check my CPU frequency. It normally likes to hang around 300mhz-500mhz. I'm sure it was closer to max if not max, but I forgot to test. Ohh well [image: 1GbTest-Bandwidth.png] [image: 1GbTest-Bandwidth.png_thumb] [image: 1GbTest-Load.png] [image: 1GbTest-Load.png_thumb]

    Great, I answered that already. Applying settings and/or packages does in no way modify pfSense. If I was misled by your reference to the document "Can I sell pfsense" then I apology!

    Did an active/standby upgrade/patch this morning. Gotta hand it to them. Even the remote access ipsec tunnels stayed up during the failover events.

    @divsys: The other thing that sometimes works is to "Uninstall" the drive in Windows Device manager, although that tends to be a little kludgier (read "riskier"). I take the disk offline in Disk Management. I don't remember if you manually have to bring it online after plugging it in to the other PC. I'm not suggesting this is 100% safe either but Disk Management tends to warn or block if you try to do things like accidently remove a disk while in use or being used for swap for the running OS.

    @bbcan @overlordsofthewiki perhaps this could/should be updated? https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Pfblocker also might be nice to provide a sortof up-to-date list of working free/paid blocklists that work with pfblng.

    One detail that could be important: Users browsing the forum that are not logged in cannot see attachments, so using inline images can be better for some cases. You just drop the URL to an image hosted elsewhere inside the tag, like so: [img]http://i.imgur.com/0LlOg66.png[/img]

    I suppose, but I'd rather head off anyone eager to tout that as a security measure in this day and age, too many people already thought NAT was a security measure in IPv4. Sure it might have helped or been part of a larger strategy, but it's not something that should be relied upon. If devices use privacy addressing or hop addresses the collected data will only be useful during a small window anyhow.

    @cmb: Connecting to them with what protocol/port? With that description, guessing UDP 123, NTP time sync traffic to pool.ntp.org members. Thanks, I haven’t checked which protocol/port. I will try that, but first I changed the NTP server to see if the problem stops.

    I don't want to re-fuel this thread, just like to say "Thanks!" to cmb/Chris for his statement. Of course my reply was meant in a funny way - I was laughing when I wrote it. Just imagine a smiley at the end of the line and it gets clear. Otherwise I would have ignored the post and gone away silently. @cmb: though slightly out of line Maybe because English is not my mother tongue.
