    @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.

    We don't have specific budget for this, we wish to use desktop with core i3 processor/4GBRAM/500GB Hard disk. Is enough for all, but pending on the configuration of pfBlockerNG & DNSBL & TDL you may need more RAM inside. Branch A=50, Branch B=20, Branch C=20 Could be also a SG-4860 Traffic: Mailing, surfing. Internet Speed is 50Mbps (Up/Down). Could be also a APU2C4

    I'm getting tired of this. This thread is attracting trolls and those with questionable intentions so don't expect me to allow this freak show to continue. I also obviously removed belt9 from our forums as he was circumventing previously issued ban. I do appreciate he did admit that he is pfBasic. Please don't open any more threads about this as it's clear that pfSense is open source. FreeBSD-src will be upstreamed when it's ready and not when dok and other projects demand it. Thread locked.

    My thanks to all of you for this avalanche of useful replies. Yes, my intent was as restated by johnpoz. I understand the image file needs to be in the forum and the reason for that. Also, it must not be too heavy but readable: 1000px width seems to be an acceptable compromise. For more than one images, I will use reference numbers inserted in the text at the appropriate position as suggested. Thanks.

    Hi, I am new to pfSense experience. My friend told me about pfsense but I have no idea what it is and how it operates? It is an OpenSource x86 firewall distribution based on FreeBSD as the underlying OS. Is it a paid service? or a platform? He is telling you about his firewall, and nothing more? He said something about securing the network. How pfsense can help me in that? A router does usually only SPI/NAT and a firewall is working with firewall rules for allow and deny or plain passing through the entire network traffic. Or in short a router is routing between one and another or more networks and a firewall is separating one from another or more networks. As today this border will be for sure becoming blurred more and more.

    There are 2 different things here.. There is the UI that is built into the host of esxi (free)  And then there is the web client on the vserver.  I think the issue in the kb article is only on the vserver web interface. I updated the embedded because there was a nasty bug on the UI where items were not populating, and you would have to log out and back in.. The 1.23.0 update fixed that.. There is a whole long thread on the fling site.

    i believe the reason enterprise lan isn't being converted to v6 is this: why? whats the point? there isn't a single "good enough" reason for 99.99% of the lan-networks in the world, to migrate to v6. (at this point in time) heck i think there will be nat4->6 gateways (wan on v6, lan on v4) long before any sane IT-admin would migrate without any compelling reason todo so.

    Well is pf2 natting?  If so port forward to whatever client your trying to get to on the 192.168.100, and then hit the 192.168.20.2 address. If pfsense 2 is not natting then yes its routing, where this 192.168.20 would be the transit network, where is your client that is trying to get to the 192.168.100 network?

    Did anyone ever hear of or even used an Edge-corE switch? That's the business division of Accton from which you might know the consumer brand SMC. I had an ECS4210-12T switch which is reasonable hardware (8+4 ports) with familiar Cisco-SG-like CLI. Even has an internal PSU, yes! The GUI is lousy though with frames and dividing the 12-port configuration into two pages (10 ports and 2 ports) and still you always have to scroll within the frame. And there's more of such nonsense. I really wonder to which markets Edge-corE sells. They even offer SDN with 100GbE L3 switches which I find impressive. That stuff isn't cheap either so who buys that?
