Check for ISP issues on WAN1 by testing with an alternative DNS server or contact the ISP to resolve potential routing issues, and ensure your pfSense and network settings are correctly configured.

@Dobby_ That website no longer gives out a free version after so many days they disable it and expect you to pay now.

if the pfSense is powered by that "unit". To prevent hold / start cycles.

Thank you Dobby for that insight...

@Dobby_ I like the heat sinks

Mmm. Kinda limited by the provider unfortunately. 🙂

I am missing my photos here too :( Can you help with a couple of these posts the photos are vanishing ..

I fixed the missing photos for this post on Jun 28 22:37

I used it for a while with a 500/200 fiber connection, but my floating rule was only for the following ports: 27000 to 27050 UDP.
These ports are for Counter Strike, and I can say that I became a killing machine in that game.
I don't know how many times people said that I was cheating... 😁

But latency didn't improve in the game, so I'm not sure if it was some kind of placebo effect or if it was really working.

@johnpoz No it is only when I use the M1 the files get all messed up. It the files are locked with read only permissions it doesn't occur. I have no clue what is causing that for the M1 it's random and just weird. I complained to Apple discussion they said a lot of possibilities but no definite answer. It was some saying its Kaspersky, some saying its the older AP, some saying it is the VPN. I isolated it to the M1 so I know that it originates from it.

Re: IP not recognized in system logs

Thanks for removing the image!

Yes, I do see the request for the ack and I now see that this is the ISP dhcp renewing lease. I understand a bit more this time, where as before I had no clue.

Thanks so much for giving me a few tips.

@mcury said in Packet Flow Data 24.03 in comparison to softflowd:

But I can't speak badly about SoftflowD because for a long time, it was the only option and served me pretty well. So thanks for the developer and everyone involved in that project.

Niether can I, worked great for me these years.

One note though, there might be an issue when pfflow is only based on expiring States. That could mean keepalive sessions are never logged as flows
