    @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.

    Shameless plug for Ubiquiti.  Just pulled the trigger on one 2xAP SOHO setup and now have done a few more - all using the AC Pro APs.  Also love their 'cloud key' product.  Spend ~$80 once and get Meraki-esque remote access plus the bonus of having a local controller.  If only I could get back the hours of my life I spent configuring Cisco APs.

    A long time ago, we had a quality specialist in to give a talk. His message went like this: Software engineers are engineers who design and implement software. They need to think like engineers. When software doesn't work as intended it doesn't have "bugs." Bugs are cute, bugs are quirky, even funny. When software doesn't work as intended, it has defects, just like any other engineered solution. Think of it this way: if the anti-lock brakes on your car fail, it's not a bug, it's a defect. It doesn't matter if the root cause is hardware or software. People die either way. Dramatically worded, but a great message nonetheless.

    @phil.davis: AFAIK there is nothing for that. I am thinking that you are wanting something like: a) Daily, weekly or monthly check. b) Check if there is a new version of pfSense (core) available. c) Check if there are new version of any of the "real pfSense" packages available. d) If (b) or (d) then notify - e.g. use file_notice so that an email or growl notify is sent and it shows on the dashboard notices. That would help people with a lot of systems to find out automagically about systems they have not yet updated. You could add a feature request in https://redmine.pfsense.org/projects/pfsense/issues Spot, it's like any other system. why don't you wan't your system to be up to date? Thanks

    If something was trying to connect out and there was an Internet issue and say your ISP's router was responding with an error like Route not Found, then that something could have gone into a tight loop that kept attempting to create new states to establish a connection.

    It could be just random noise generated by script kiddies. After all, you don't have to ask anyone's permission to send random UDP traffic to random IP addresses, you just do it and the recipient of that traffic sees just random unrelated UDP packets hitting his firewall if he has logging on it.

    It's fixed. We often don't set % on any bug tickets, so it stays at the default of 0. The status is the only thing that matters.

    the article doesn't say anything about other Atom lines, or the future replacements for Rangeley, either. I can't say what I know (CNDA), but Sofia, especially, looks like it was an Intel "science project" from here.

    That or cygwin, msys, etc… The windows command prompt "terminal" itself sucks most though. Cygwin with mintty is much, much, much better to deal with than a standard cmd.exe window that has better commands...

    Netgear was launching at the CeBit 2016 their first 802.3bz or NBase-T Switch, called M4200 series and later this year Q2 or Q3 they are going to launch the WLAN AP named WNDAP740 that is coming also together with this NBase-T ports. Would be nice to get better wireless ac performance. Core Switch for routing: M7300 + Layer3 license - Bigger Core Switch fully Layer3 routing static or dynamic (RIP,OSPF,VRRP,ECMP,ProxyARP,Multinetting) M4300 - smaller Core Switch fully Layer3 routing static or dynamic (VRRP,HRSP, RIP, OSPF, PIM, PBR) NBase-T: M4200 Layer2+, NBase-T Switch for Wave2 11ac wireless access points 8 x 2,5 GBit/s PoE+ Ports 2 x 5,0 GBit/s (Combo Ports 2,5 GBit/s or 5,0 GBit/s) 2 x SFP+ 10 GBit/s Slots

    @Harvy66: There are a few possibilities that can explain what you saw University was doing something similar to pfBlockerNG v2.0 In order to block ads by inspecting the traffic, you have to man in the middle HTTPS. This may be the lesser of evils in some cases, but it is something very important to think about. Just as a note, pfBlockerNG, is not really MITM for HTTPS. It would be more DNS sinkholing then anything. MITM is evil, and should never be done for content filtering… :)
