    @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.

    For each host I'm checking (4 in my case), I created a batch file in the same folder as CheckHost with these contents: C:\Users\KOM\Software\NirCmd\nircmd.exe speak text "Google is not responding" 0 100 and save it as Google.bat.  Create other batch files to handle other hosts.  In CheckHost, I have an entry for Google DNS (8.8.8.8) and when down, I use Google.bat as the Start Program action.

    We run into people like that a lot….Usually IT consultants and IT Directors that see our Bill of Materials has pfSense on it.  It spurs a lot of debate and complaining until you mention that 99.99999999% of the internet runs on Linux.  Then you hear a lot of uhhhhh.....but.....uhhhhh.....Never mind.

    @Jailer: @BlueKobold: Or you will be able to connect to your home firewall through a VPN tunnel and then you use the Internet connection from your home. I could do this but it's not worth it. Browsing occasionally is one thing, circumventing security measures is quite another and would likely get me fired. No way in hell I'm going to risk my job for some occasional browsing. I don´t want that you loose your job, it was more in the meaning to get in contact with the admins in your company to ask for.

    I'd put ESX on the hardware (ESX should support the Intel NICs in the Jetway) and run pfsense as a virtual. Dump squid unless you want it as part of a URL filtering solution - and if you that that, run it on a separate virtual machine. This still leaves you some capacity for other fun things like an asterisk pbx.

    Finally did it! About 3.85Gb/s total throughput through the NAT while only using about 17% cpu. Of course this wasn't a PPS test, but standard 1500MTU. I just realized I forgot to check my CPU frequency. It normally likes to hang around 300mhz-500mhz. I'm sure it was closer to max if not max, but I forgot to test. Ohh well [image: 1GbTest-Bandwidth.png] [image: 1GbTest-Bandwidth.png_thumb] [image: 1GbTest-Load.png] [image: 1GbTest-Load.png_thumb]

    Great, I answered that already. Applying settings and/or packages does in no way modify pfSense. If I was misled by your reference to the document "Can I sell pfsense" then I apology!

    Did an active/standby upgrade/patch this morning. Gotta hand it to them. Even the remote access ipsec tunnels stayed up during the failover events.

    @divsys: The other thing that sometimes works is to "Uninstall" the drive in Windows Device manager, although that tends to be a little kludgier (read "riskier"). I take the disk offline in Disk Management. I don't remember if you manually have to bring it online after plugging it in to the other PC. I'm not suggesting this is 100% safe either but Disk Management tends to warn or block if you try to do things like accidently remove a disk while in use or being used for swap for the running OS.
