@NOYB:

Notebook pfSense and UPS supported network is great.  Just survived a 40 minute power outage.

Hey NOYB, quick question about your UPS. I was just wondering what model you have and how much you got it for? I was recently looking into buying the APC Back-UPS pro1500VA and I wanted to know if anyone had some firsthand experience with it. Just to get a second opinion (in addition to the reviews).

The APC1500 is all I run. I even purchased the external battery for two of them for extralong life.  As mentioned replacement batteries are easy to locate for them. I usually hit batteries plus up for them. If you check out the show your pfsense thread I just posted a pic of 4 of them lined up. Totally recommend them

Thanks for the comments.

Unfortunately I never get to a prompt and I only have a .iso (on a USB stick) to boot from. This is read only, so there's no crash log either. I should be able to hack the image if required.

It's the serial boot console that I'm hoping to be able to activate, but I can only do that if there's something I can add to Grub when the system boots.

The really frustrating bit is that it must be very close to booting - FreeBSD 10 works perfectly and FreeNAS uses the same version, so…

Congratulations

I swapped my new router in this afternoon, and was ultimately able to get the previously described configuration working. In case anyone else reading this finds it interesting/useful, here's what I needed to do to make it happen:

Preconfigure the new router - This can all be done without interrupting the original network at all: Setup one interface on the existing LAN and connect it. Setup one interface as WAN. Setup a third interface OPT1 (or whatever you want to call it), give it a static IP in a new, separate network.

In the new router, configure a firewall rule for OPT1 interface to allow all traffic for all protocols. Without this, the new router's firewall will block all traffic coming from the old router.

Swap the cables: Move the cable providing your internet over to the new router's WAN port. Then with another cable, connect the WAN port of the old router to the OPT1 port of the new router.

Set IP configuration of the WAN interface to be part of the network that OPT1 is configured for.

That's it - the network will now work and function like in the diagram above. Hosts will have connectivity, whether they are using the original configuration, or have been updated to use the new router as the default gateway.

Note: There are many things this will break that aren't detailed here - VPN's/Web Caching/IDS/etc.  The configurations in your old router need to be moved to the new one before they'll do anything, so if you have any mission-critical stuff going on in your router, plan accordingly.

I think it is highly possible, as in my office the IT department has made such connections which allows to use the wifi and we just need to input the username and password for once only. Will ask them about how they do it, give me a little time.

Well, I meant noise @ the upstream bug tracker, LOL. That's really not pfSense-specific issue. Bug 199197 has pretty good info about what's going on, but noone cares.

@webtyro:

Just curious but, is there any data missing from those dates. Any sign of purge being done regarding your site. Anything that should be there but is not or can you tell from your end.

My site looks to be at the same level of indexing as it normally is roughly, looking at the google webmaster tools, that shows googles indexing status of your sites, and how their crawlers are doing on it.

Using my tool, the google crawlers are indexing my site almost 24 hours a day.  I also coded in a auto-login cookie generator for the google bots IP CIDR's and Useragents so the site auto-loggins the crawlers to a limited account i made for them.  This helps me track the time they are actually spending on the site as well.

Hi phil.davis,

Thanks for your help, you were right I have selected the TCP protocol only, when I changed it to Any it is working now.

+1

label all the open Ports as critical failures in a PDF blindly and send it off to the customer, and pretend u did your job.

hehe - oh that is so freaking true!! hehehe..

Your ports are not "stealth" as steve gibson would say – well no freaking SHIT!!  They need to access the freaking webserver don't they so yeah 443 is freaking open...

Here go... This should get you started

@W4RH34D:

Who is the jackass and who are the jackasses that approved the plastic 8p8c jack?  It is absolute garbage almost like it was designed to piss someone off.

I held the same sentiments to the people who designed my old hyundai sonata, it ran great forever, but then the AC went out, and that was ok for a while, but then the alternator went out too.

Decided to replace them, and discovered to my dismay, that they are both mounted down by the crankshaft, under the motor.  the manual says to lift the motor on a engine lift, disconnect the motor mounts, and lift the engine just enough that the AC and Alternator can be accessed through a small openning in the passenger side wheel well, after removing the passenger side wheel.

WTF, makes me want to slap an engineer in the back of the head hard enough to make his eyes pop out.

Thanks for reply. It is help full for me

one more thing i want to ask that what i think is that possible in pf sense?
