    @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.

    Is that even available for ARM? Even if it is ARM is not like x86, you would need an image specifically for that platform or at least for something very close to it. I doubt it is possible but I'd check those things first. Steve

    @nollipfsense said in This 12yrs Old Boy: https://twitter.com/CNET/status/1582763509623836673 I watched 22 seconds of this. it's not a hack of the your WAP password. It's decrypting the traffic after getting in. Which is usually due to poor SSID deployment, using weak passwords, etc. I was asked last year (and still haven't completed) by a higher up here at Netgate to write a blog post about securing your home WiFi and why firmware updates are important for all devices... I should get back to that. The issue here is manufacturers are building sub-par, poorly secured devices and selling them to consumers as a solution. Weak encryption is just that – weak. I've been doing WiFi design for more than a decade and these are the things I design against.

    How to secure my ip address

    @mcdvoiceo1 You will need to determine what you want to "secure" your IP address means and what you want to do with it. If you don't open anything on the firewall to the outside then you only have to worry about things inside talking to the internet. Snort or Suricata might be the best options for you. If you want to make it appear you are coming from somewhere that you are not then a VPN would be a good bet. Nord specifically? Probably not. The most popular things are rarely the best. They might be "good enough", however. Basically what is your level of concern exactly?

    Ideally you want to setup a separate subnet (a transport network) between them that isn't used anywhere else. Doing that avoids any asymmetric routing issues that might otherwise hit. So, yes, you could use a VLAN between them with nothing else on it if you have a physical link already in place. Or just a separate link if you're adding it. Otherwise there's nothing special required in pfSense, it just sees the Fortinet as a host and routes it's traffic. It becomes more complex if you want, say, the pfSense LAN clients to be able to reach the Forinet LAN clients. Easily doable if you have a transport subnet to roue across. Steve

    I would expect that i5 to do it. At least the routing and filtering part. And probably the VPN given the right VPN type and traffic conditions. 'Line rate' Suricata may be more of an issue but it will probably do it as long as you don't just load every ruleset! You have it gathering dust on a shelf so try it and see. Steve

    Ah, that's good to know. I'll have to test that in the new setup in 2.7 without netgraph. Steve

    @edwardnizz said in open VPN working,,,Now how do i get my files?: like your accusing my of lying about the updating issues when you don't even have a shield to test. Lying? I asked you what version of the shield software your running? I do have a shield I could use to test. I just don't use it as my PMS, only as a client. And acknowledged there clearly some known issues with plex on shield depending on what version you were on.. Glad your happy with the answer you got, my bad for trying to assist.. I will not make that mistake again on any of your other future threads rest assured. There was no reason for you to chime in My first comment in this thread was to Steve, about the fishy link. And made a off hand comment that I would use something other then direct access to files to view my video. You engaged me.. But anyway, glad your happy with the solution you found.

    @stephenw10 That is sad. I was skeptical but with AT&T in Northeast FL, I regularly see 500 mbps download on speed tests. I doubt I ever actually pull that much but we easily stream 3 or 4 TVs while I am working from home (VPN'd into work network as well) or on Teams calls with video and have zero issues. That is all pre netgate so going to be an interesting test. I'll report some results after it is all working
