Thank you very much…

Ah, That's got it!  ;D

Because i'm not currently having a working box so i can't check but is havp something what you're missing

Yes 6GB does seem quite high!  :o I guess it depends how much use/speed you want/need.

Openwrt will run in 16mb or ram from 4mb flash on a 133MHz CPU. It has a x86 port though so it should fly on your thin client. There are many packages available for it and a nice gui install for them if you are running X-wrt.
You can run an SMB server and have shares for each of your users or general shares. Or run NFS or many other options.

It's never going to be as fast as a genuine NAS solution which needs to be as fast as possible. It sounds like you are looking for something more akin to a file server.

It's not as easy as FreeNAS though see: http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/nfs.server

Why not try FreeNAS 7 and see how it goes?

He actually came and said how sorry he is for his doings.. (BIG TIME VICTORY).
And he also asked that could i recreate my firewall. But when the discussion went to money part he didn't mention to pay his mistakes..

So the resolution is at this point, that his workshop and our neighbours doesn't have internet but I do have. And I don't make any firewalls from my wallet..

My game might be dangerous, but it has a hidden lesson. I've already learned, now I'm waiting if father-in-law learns it

Thanks a lot nach =)

Thanks, Chris!

Commented and re-locked it.

Best,

The wiki article here:
http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Creating_Your_Own_Package_Repository

Was written before when the repo was on rcs.pfsense.org. Over the years people have checked in all kinds of binaries into the repo, and they don't belong there. Only the PHP/xml/scripts belong in there. So when we moved to github a lot of that data that shouldn't have been in the repo was purged (lots of .tgz/.tbz files add up quickly in size!) and moved to where it should be on files.pfsense.org.

As a consequence of that purge, the size has reduced quite a lot. It used to be nearly 1GB in size between the data and the history in the .git directory. It's still nearly 200MB.

pfSense-packages$ du -k -d 1 88258  ./.git 110476  ./config 198970  .

When developing packages, especially making new ones, having your own repo is quite handy. It's even better if you make your own fork of the packages repo on github and work with that on your server as you make changes. Then once you have it ready you can just submit a merge request there.

I don't know about bandwidthd but outbound loadbalancing has changed in 2.0.
To configure it you setup a gateway group (system >> routing >> groups) and add your WANs to it. Then assign each wan a tier, all tier 1 will result in equal priority and hence load balancing. Use lower tiers if you want failover.
Now edit your firewall rules to use the gateway groups as gateway.

Edit: Exactly which version are you running? If you are running the 'official' RC1 release, 26.02.2011, the try a much more recent snapshot. A lot has been fixed since then.

I have checked my config backup with the xmllint command and it has problems with letter ñ, I change it and I can restore the configuration from 1.2.3 to 2.0 version. Maybe that's the problems with continuous automatic reset configuration, I gonna do test to confirm that.

Nope, not us.

Clearly we aren't "Proffesional" ;-)

Possibly, with the Captive Portal functionality. If you configure it to authenticate against your active directory you may be able to get it to work.

Thanks for using it. Spread the word :-)

Please read the link I provided.

Dear Jimp
Thanks a Lot for vital information.

My LAN is 192.168.0.0/21.It has 2 gateway servers. one gateway is on pfsense and the other on Linux Box.

I need loadbalance the traffic of 192.168.5.0/21 subnet  and 192.168.7.0/21 subnet  using routing tables,I need to divert the http traffice that is coming on to pfsense LAN interface to other Linux box (gateway)

The reason I cant use policy based routing is, the LAN interface of the Linux box is not visible on the gateway list of pfsense.

cheers
Asanka.

That's just a ridiculous article.  >:(
I mean I like the idea of a mobile interface to my router but to describe it as an 'app' that controls all the devices on your network.

That aside I guess this could be useful, though if you are using traffic shaping I wouldn't have thought it would be difficult to prioritize business traffic over gaming.  ::) Having to intervene manually by tweaking your router doesn't sound like something most users would want.
I'd like it!  ;D

I have been using tapatalk on my android tablet and it has been making browsing through forums a breeze. It would really be nice if pfsense would support tapatalk as it can be really useful and efficient.

I have seen this in most forums I join and I think it would really be a great addition to pfsense's arsenal of functions.

@stephenw10:

Just to say that changes to the boot file should be in:
/boot/loader.conf.local
Changes added there will be copied across an upgrade.
See: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,28181.0.html

Steve

Thanks..

Updating the thread, I have to say that since I'm on RC versions, things have changed. I've stopped using these:

kern.ipc.nmbclusters="32768"
kern.maxfiles="131070"

And it's running very well.

@Nachtfalke:

alternate dns 127.0.0.1

in squid.inc(usr/local/pkg):
dns_children 20

Don't use this too.

As for the other options, I'm not using disk cache. It seemed to me that that was really my problem. Slow disks. Squid cache was very intensive  with my 400+ users. I've changed my updates to an WSUS server and I'm only using squid in pfsense with squidGuard. The rest of my setup remains the same. (same advanced options)

Show screenshots of your setup.
