    And not sure how dev testing software in real would require domain admin Our software is used exclusively in AD networks, so testing involves having servers that are part of the domain. When you're testing with virtual machines that are part of a domain and you roll back to a previous snapshot, the domain trust is broken and you have to remove and then re-add the server to the domain. Plus, our solution relies on Microsoft DFS Namespace support, and I don't want them playing around with that on our real domain. That's why they need domain admin for some things. I know that I could probably design something else but this is the way it's always been done since before my time, and I'm planning on redoing EVERYTHING this Fall when Server 2019 comes out, so I'd rather not make any changes to what we have that works now. Mainly the split-DNS issue. OK then, I'm not concerned. I literally have two NATs to worry about, so split DNS for those will take 2 seconds to create and will likely never update. I think I will stick with the single forest-single domain model. Thanks again, guys.

    Windows did a similar thing for me. Constant reboot+update loop. Turned out one of the Windows Features installed was incompatible with the update and I had to uninstall the feature first. I found this out by looking into the upgrade log and seeing why it failed. Luckily mine was on an NVME Samsung Pro SSD.

    You prob not going to get much traction on such a question.. As stated you prob better off asking on dedicated android or openvpn forum for such a question.

    Another spammer just hit this thread ;) We should just prob ban the IN and PK... seems all that comes out of there is junk. And we should prob just remove ALL of the accounts with zero posts to be honest. There is zero reason to have an account i your not going to post. There is no content here that requires you log in to see.. I have been watching the users as they get created... Lot of them are sneaky and just wan their whatever info listed.. And they don't even post anything. While signature and stuff helps... Just the username is used to try and up their google hits, etc.

    @derreckbercier said in Pfsense blocking Livestream: i've been troubleshooting this, and part of the problem is since switching to pfsense it has given my other networks 1gb access to the niq, my old router only the main lan was at 1gb every other network was at 100mb. So something on my other network is hogging up all the bandwith on that switch and i'm trying to narrow it down. Thanks for everyone's help on this problem so far. If you are uploading to a remote streaming host, but then your local LAN clients are simultaneously downloading the stream from that remote host over the same Internet connection, you can use it all up to the point the ACKs from the remote host do not make it back to your streamer PC in a reasonable time. So your streamer PC slows down and slows down and slows down trying to get the connection going. Uploading requires enough bandwidth on the download side for ACKs from the remote receiving end to get through. If you have tons of local users sucking up all the download bandwidth viewing the stream, then nothing is left for your uploading PC to receive its ACKs. Giving those "hungry" local LAN clients a gigabit pipe to suck from will exacerbate the problem. If they were all formerly sharing a 100 megabit pipe into the central switch, they could have been partially moderating each other so that the sum was not overwhelming to your uploading stream. Don't know your situation precisely, but from your description it sounds like you were uploading to a remote host on the web that your local clients viewed from. Is that true, or do I have it wrong? If I've correctly guessed your setup, then you can benefit from traffic shaping on pfSense that gives your uploading streamer PC priority bandwidth.

    Hey Steve, thanks for the information. I will be sure to avoid any firewall mis-configuration and verify the current settings - as they were implemented before I had the job - do not cause any speed loss errors on bandwidth throughput. Much appreciated.

    As Grimson mentioned, I just put both signals on the same VLAN. For some reason I thought VLANs are predetermined on AP I know its pretty stupid to think that but for some reason I had idea thats how it is with EAP 1300. Anyway, everything works as intended as of now. Going to play with it more and then move onto Win Server and see how things work there.

    The idea is to simplify the process. The customer would not need to purchase a voucher from tyeh counter or kiosk. See the link below.

    I'm pretty sure it was a standard pinout for both connectors. The VGA header is 2mm not 0.1" as you say. However I don't see anything obvious now. You can probably test the ground pins and infer the rest from their positions... assuming it is standard. Steve

    So to add to @rainer_d comment, I've recently purchased the APU2C4 as my pfsense box and frankly considering the costs I'm rather impressed. I'm have a WAN\LAN setup running Squid, Squid Guard, Suricata, PFBlockerng, and ntopng - my main focus is keeping my kids from getting into too much trouble as they start exploring the internet. Looking at the performance to energy cost, I really feel this box hits a lot of check boxes. Sadly, I'm limited in my bandwidth so I can't speak to how it handles on 1Gbps, but I've hear you can get close but I don't know if would need to limit the packages your running. If you do end up do end up looking at the APU2 setup, here is what I came up with so far to improve performance: Get thermal grease and stand the box vertically - Reduced my CPU temp by 10C Avoid ClamAV, it will eat the CPUs alive with large downloads Suricata seems to perform better than Snort, but is twice as hard to setup... but twice the trouble is twice the fun in my book. Between the multi core support and the APU2 supported inline mode, you can get IDS on without to much impact to your system. Get the 4GB version, it's not much more and gives you lots of RAM to play with.

    Adding the WAN rule will not add a port forward. You add a port forward in Firewall > NAT, Port Forward. There you can optionally (recommended) have the port forward automatically maintain the firewall rule on WAN for you. Yes, you need both ports forwarded. In your case you can do a range from 5198 to 5199 and do it in one rule.

    So you want to route the whole upstream traffic to the Sonicwall? Just open the gateway settings and check "Default Gateway". No extra route needed.
