    @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.

    It needs a high-availability-cluster uptime somewhere, then you can upgrade individual members, which hand over roles to a partner/s while rebooting. That gives long real continuous service uptime, fixing of security holes and new features.
    On OpenVMS it is not that unusual to have a cluster uptime of 10 or 15 years. Of course new hardware as well as software has been introduced over that time so that actually nothing is the same as when the cluster started.

    @robina80:

    Set-SendConnector "Your SMTP Send Connector" -Port 587

    do you use a smart host? set-sendconenctor modifies the port of the destination - so instead of my.dest.mail.server:25 you get my.dest.mail.server:587, but you usually can't send emails without authentification with port 587

    Hi Pfsense friends, sorry for replying so late. Well, I've solved the problem. The thing was that the aliases and the rules i made they all were ok, but the windows firewall was de blocking all requests from other hosts, at the moment I disable the windows firewall it works perfectly.
    Anyway.. Thanks so much friends!

    Regardless of the GUI, I tried it. I like OpenBSD leanness and I gave Halon a try.
    Installed it, found updated version, made firmware upgrade and found out that my 'Free' subscription had automagically expired.

    Did'nt manage to find out how to renew. Could not get the darn thing work either, after it. After 15min of trying - gave up on it.

    If you wanted anything besides basic firewall/routing you needed to pay. Including for VLANs

    it would be cheaper to install OpenBSD itself and use it's pf accordingly. No nice GUI though

    What KOM is saying is that there is nothing wrong with squid as part of squidguard.  Just make your cache smaller.  Alot smaller.  Not more than about 25GB.  Honestly it doesn't even need to be that big.

    Pfsense will work very well for you and can do so usually with a relatively small SSD.  Disk speed is your friend.

    But yeah.  You could run pfsense on 2 cores for your needs.

    I do suggest pfsense though.  Its much nicer and feature rich than pretty much everything else.

    @Harvy66:

    2.1.5 is the newest version, not 2.1.3.

    Can you create a basic graph of your network, and what technology you are using for your links? They hardware your PFSense is running on could also be useful.

    You would get better responses if you posted this in the Traffic Shaping forum…

    To see if your shaper is working, look at Status - Queues.  Traffic shaper uses floating rules to direct specific traffic into particular queue.  For example, if you have VoIP phones and use the Traffic Shaping wizard to handle VoIP, then make a phone call and see if qVoIP starts getting traffic.

    I was following along on that page that day but didn't post anything. Sometimes I do if I catch the thread in time.

    It was mostly positive, aside from some complaints about our hardware prices (sure they're higher than they expect, but they include support and help fund the project)

    ?

    @stephenw10:

    I think this has already been discussed (in the thread even) but the advantages of using a VPS are that you can run whatever you want on it, so any VPN type you like, and that you will get an IP that's unlikely to be blacklisted as a VPN endpoint. I hadn't really ever considered security (or lack of) between virtual machines to be an issue. From a privacy/logging point of view is there much difference between a VPS and dedicated hardware?
    Currently I run neither but have often considered it.

    Srece

    I'd be more inclined to log the VPSs instead of the dedicated servers to be honest. In general VPSs attract more abusers than dedicated servers, in my experience, which considering an abuse report will come in, you need something to troubleshoot it with. YMMV

    @jimp:

    They must have added/changed something on the VPC side, since I've never seen one be that easy.

    they didn't, but we did (in 2.1.5)  8)

    It looks like I have this issue, I have the Win7 synchronize every 24 hrs with the 2.1.4 Pfsense ntp server, but after one or 2 days, I get a 30 sec difference.

    I switch the Win7 to the same external NTP server pfsense use, time was the same, now I  will see in a few days if the clock loose sync.

    Hmm, yes more info needed.
    Do you mean using the same interface?
    Using two interfaces, WAN and LAN, to do that is how pfSense works normally. Set WAN to type 'DHCP' and it will receive an IP on that interface. The LAN runs a DHCP server as standard in the 192.168.1.1/24 subnet.

    A shot in the dark.. but did you install expect? Also invoke it as the shell you are using in the script? (have the #!/usr/bin/expect at the top of the script)

    If both of those are answered with yes, would you mind posting a) the version of pfsense b) the script you are trying to run c) expect version ? Thankie. :D
