    @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.

    Name it "run.sh", copy to pf and chmod according documentation
    https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/development/boot-commands.html#shell-script-option
    You will see messages in the system log like those quoted in the script after logger command.

    I just login to the shell (of pfSense firewall) and setup my cron jobs by

    $ crontab -e

    At least this works here :) My cron jobs list:

    $ crontab -l
    */1 * * * * /usr/sbin/arp -an > /root/arp

    In reality squid allows you to do that. When using pfSense you may find some options in

    WebGUI / Services / Proxy server / Access control / Whitelist

    The domains from the whilelist will be accessable to the users that are allowed to use the proxy.  (though they may still be block by squidGuard).

    I don't know if it solves your problem. At least it's the anwser for you topic's title.

    So at any one time, we would potentially need to be able to resolve www.foo.com to any one of 4 different IPs, depending on the client making the request. Doing this on local hosts files is nice and easy; doing it as a DNS forward override is an all-or-nothing approach.

    I currenlty have no idea for this!

    Arpwatch is an option and there is a port for freebsd.  This also used to be a package on pfsense.

    http://www.freshports.org/net-mgmt/arpwatch

    Might be fairly easy to recreate this as a package.

    Will even email you when a dup IP is detected.

    Install pfflowd package, Install manageengines netflow analyzer on a server or PC.  Configure pfflowd to point to the ip of the machine with netflow analyzer.  make sure both are set to use port 9996.  Traffic should begin to show up in PC after about 10 minutes.  Make sure to unblock port 9996 on PC if using software firewall ie windows firewall.  Create an IP group for your subnet or you will not see both outbound and inbound throughput.  Set in/out bandwidth for interface and ip group.

    Just to give my piece of mind :).

    I am supporting not only my own company but also an insurance company.  I (we) use SourceForge projects in several locations

    pfSense I use for Wan Aggregation (2 instances) Untangle for Spam, Anti virus, Intrusion, Spyware etc. (4 Instances, one is commercial licensed) SquirrelMail (two instances) phpGoogle

    The "Microsoft" argument goes a long way.  The argument I mostly use is that Commercial Software, you pay for support up front, if you need it or not.  With most Sourceforge products, you can purchase support only when needed.

    Over the years I have ran the companies Networks and Websites I have probable saved then thousands of $$$  .

    So, I am now a "crack"-head, possibly yes, but I am proud of that.

    When freeBSD supports wi-max pfSense will inherit it from the operating system. Your best hope right now for wi-max would be a external access point or wireless bridge connected to pfSense over Ethernet.

    Thanks. I must have been blind to not see that.  I suppose I was reading what I was looking for instead of what facts were.
    Sorry.

    @hoba:

    Btw, it's 3% disk USAGE not activity which means there is plenty of space left on your hdd  ;)

    That was something one of the developers was messing with at one point, 3 does the same thing as 1, it should be set to 1 though to make sure it continues to function as desired in future releases. I just changed it.
