    @stephenw10 This is my final note since it seem you will always look at this as an endpoint. It doesn't appear, it actually is, the facts are the facts. Still, moderator usually have a way to remove posts and ban single users, not just the entire herd, or at least the ones use. Perhaps those are more advance, or perhaps netgate forums lack that functionality. I never said negate took this issue lightly, I was just looking for some feedback. I have seen this process many times and for the looks of it, pfsense CE is very much in maintenance mode. Just because netgate wants to be politically correct does not mean it is not. The fact are there and they are fallowing the same path as others did. Again, this subject is just becoming redundant and it is affecting other users in the forum.

    Yep the draft V2 book is well worth a read if you have the gold subscription. With a 5Mbps connection shared between 60 clients you may need to get some relatively complex shaping to keep things moving. Is the connection symmetric, 5Mbps up also? For example rather than specifying a bandwidth limit per user you can instead reserve some bandwidth for important tasks/users leaving the rest to be used by anyone. Again it depends what your users need. I have no idea what sort of business you're involved with but maybe most of those 60 clients only occasionally send emails. Steve

    Chrome browser has Flash built-in. Maybe that will work for you to access the ESXI Web UI.

    You need to send Accounting data to the radius server, and you need to "Reauthenticate users every 1 minute". You'll find it's likely easier moving your radius server to a different machine with apache/mysql where you can use one of the web frontends to manage the users, and get group support within radius. If you haven't configured a radius server from scratch, look into the book 'Freeradius beginner's guide'.

    The system log is distinct from the firewall log, they are on separate tabs in the webgui logs page. If your traffic is not getting through it's not arriving at the firewall, it's being blocked by the firewall or it's not being routed out of the firewall. Steve

    A map might be fun … so long as results in export-controlled countries are filtered out so as not to raise any suspicions. :-)

    i haven't had issues with the zyxel 1910 series. They offer a lot of value for money imho. 1910-24 without POE costs around €130. I don't have prices for the POE version at hand, but i do know the 24-port POE is kind of noisy (fan noise). In other words, you wouldn't want them in your livingroom or near your desk

    So if I understand you correctly you need the wan connection to be also available on another nic? If power is no issue, use a switch. That is really the easiest way. Otherwise, I think that a bridge is what you are looking for. (bridging 2 nics…. Think of it as bridging lan&wlan, but then for wan and (e.g.) opt1) Lots of material to find in the forum here, search for; bridge, bridging, transparent firewall, transparent bridge, ....
