    @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.

    I was having problems with the last video because it was requiring me to upload a config file, however now, I installed OpenWRT on it, and I think there has to be a way now to configure the device manually. I am really looking into this now.

    That sounds like a great option. Interested to know how it works out. That's a pretty flexible little box. Not bad for the price.

    There is although i like to avoid mixing different card/chipsets to avoid points of failure. I fully understand the Intel point of view as everything built basically onto the card and not past off to the driver. Presently our Ac86U is running fine and Merlin custom firmware is great but Asus never got dual wan to work correctly in its firmware on any of its router models.

    If the gateway the IPSec tunnel is on changes state, yes, there are scripts that are triggered to restart IPSec. rc.newwanip will probably be triggered if you have a dhcp or ppp WAN. Steve

    Well, it sounds like using this old router is going to be poor performance, and I'd be looking at $300+ for an appliance to do the job well. On top of that, it sounds like there are lots of reasons not to run the whole network through the VPN anyway. So for now, I'll just use the VPN client when I'm putting up the periscope for P2P work.

    Have you checked out this thread from Microsoft Support? https://support.office.com/en-us/article/import-gmail-to-outlook-20fdb8f2-fed8-4b14-baf0-bf04b9c44bf7 It walks you through the steps. As @KOM mentioned, you must first configure your Gmail account to create an application password that Outlook will then use for access to Gmail. All the steps are in the link I posted. I use my Gmail account with Outlook 365.

    48 - yeah that would never be correct ;) I could see maybe setting /64 as default on ipv6 address Over the years this discussion has come up a few times.. And while I kind of agree on the /24 default.. It is up to the user to set the correct mask.. I think it just defaults to one side of the list.. You could look if its been actually requested before in redmine.. But if I recall it never got any traction, and thought there was an actual reason other then just users should pay attention.. But don't recall off the top of my head the old discussions on this topic.. Other than nothing ever came of it, since it still defaults to /32 ;) You should get windows to change their default from the old class standards while you at it when you put in a 10 for example it default to 255.0.0.0.. If you put in 172.16 it does 16 [image: 1566257123908-windowdefault.png] [image: 1566257248146-172.png] While its nice to "guess" to what the user might be thinking of doing - ultimately it comes down to the person setting the IP to make sure the mask is correct. Maybe a note or something when setting it in the gui that if you use /32 dhcp is not going to be available ;) But users never seem to have issues with this sort of thing never seem to read the notes or manual anyway - hehehe

    Just an update on what I ended up doing. I only want to know if the internet is down at my house because there are things that send email notifications and they wont work with no internet, that is all. I had a raspberry pi that wasnt busy so I added rclone and configured it along with a cron script to touch a specific empty file in my google drive every 2 min. I then wrote a google script to check the modified time on that file every 5 minutes and email me if it had not been updated within the past 5 min. A gmail filter can easily forward that to text my phone. Good enough! Although I could have just set the Nest Cam I have back up, I think they push a notification if they havent heard from the camera in 10 min, but I didnt want to use the camera anymore. I really wanted something like SMSEagle but the ROI just wasnt there. I dont mind spending some time to learn something and this is just for home. The code was easy but the documentation for some of these things is not great so it's easy to get stuck trying to figure out why something isnt working and it's just "because Google". Also, it would have been super easy to just have an open port to monitor with uptimerobot.com. I tend to remove those things if I dont use them however and right now I have no ports open.
