    @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.

    The default page does not do php.  You need to use a html meta redirect or javascript to redirect to a custom uploaded page that has been added from the file manager.

    Did you google it??  http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html

    Yes I know "dnsmasq" is a DNS server, but I ask if pfsense use it.

    If config file not exist, which is the best way to edit the DNS Server configuration in pfsense ?

    CVS Trac is the only option but there are some bugs that have been corrected without opening tickets for them. So only looking at the tickets won't help you unless you read the commit logs as well.

    hey guys,
    you are comparing a small linux box (200 MHz, 16 Mb RAM) to a computer with 256 or 512 Mb of RAM and a big processor.
    so it is normal to have unstability problem with the small router when it handels a lot of connections, bittorent and P2P…. but DD-WRT have a X86 version that runs on PCs and it is really stable and faster than Pfsense.
    I am using now many dd-wrt boxes as access points, and pfsense is doing the rest (DHCP, authentication...) pfsense never crash but it have a lot of bugs and missing futures.
    it would be appreciated if pfsense have some of DD-WRT futures like

    additionnal DHCP options / DNSmasq as DHCP server, windows networking is not working well in pfsense (from LAN to WAN, LAN clients cannot see PC connected on WAN domain for exemple in latest pfsense release). i think that this problem is related to a DNS / firewall bugs ? I prefer SPI firewall than pfsense, but it is a personal choice Access restrictions per IP or MAC address is also missed in actual Pfsense release. blocking P2P and other applications or website is easy with dd-wrt QoS, priority per IP, MAC, subnet or application... in VLANs also the hotspot options : DD-WRT can use chillispot, nocat, spuntik for authentications... it would be nice if chillispot can be add to pfsense via a package (it needs a package for chillispot, radius, webserver... MySQL is also preferable). a monitoring package like Rflow is also missed in pfsense, it is not perfect in dd-wrt but the best is to have a package or a small software that list all connected users (users, mac, ip, time and trafic) with the possibility to disconnect users
    -finally a nice future that could be easy implemented in pfsense I thnik, is the possibility to define a user groups and to add (in captive portal) its static DHCP mapping

    anyway pfsense is a very good firewall and the support on the forum is very fast and appreciable.

    One additional mod to the pfctl form:

    If you want to quickly pull out a single rule:

    pfctl -vvs rules | grep "^@ <rulenum>"</rulenum>

    Where is the rule number you are seeking.  The space before my closing double quote was on purpose to terminate the pattern so that ONLY the rule number being sought is returned.  Otherwise, the above might also match some other rule number that started off with the rule number you are seeking.  Ie, '77' and '77x' (x = 0 thru 9) would all match.

    Without knowning more details (what server- and what firewall-arch) I would respond to

    I want to avoid viruses on the server´s system files and in E-Mails, sent and received over the server

    Scan e-Mails on their way to the server via a mailgateway. It wouldn't be the first time there was some strange side effect when doing the scanning on the same system having the normal mail service on. Get them out before they reach the final destination server (and the user) and run an additional AV on the normal filesystem of the server for file services.
    But I would not run that kind of thing on the firewall itself. Keep the firewall architecture as clean as possible and don't mix it with further services if they don't have necessarily to do with it. E.g. split the fw-arch into three nets, WAN, DMZ and LAN and setup the mailgateway in the DMZ area. So you don't have any probably "bad things" in your LAN before it passes all your desired tests.

    Just my thoughts on this :)

    Not to mention that "dumb" switches are cheaper than manageable vlan capable switches.
