    @microserfs and what IP was that - clearly your current IPv6 address is not block that I show you connected with.. And the only other IPv4 I see you using is not blocked.. You would have to let me know what IP you were coming from that was blocked.. Send it to me via PM if you don't want to make it public.

    No and No. Actually these rules are on a per year basis iirc. So if you block let's say on January the 1st it will block on that day every year (2008, 2009, 2010,…). Why is a 15 minute slice not enough? A Cronjob will run every 15 minutes to see if the ruleset has to be changed and recreate and reload the filter if needed. Making smaller slices will put additional load on the firewall as it would have to check for changes more often. We thought 15 minutes intervals should be enough usually.

    @tacfit: I moved off Microsoft's ISA 2004 firewall. :o   thank goodness for that!  :) back in the day, I setup OpenBSD at my network edge and built the pf.conf by hand, mainly to learn, and liked it a lot. eventually got lazy, and setup a soekris/m0n0wall, but wished it was openbsd based or at least had pf.  then I heard about pfsense, but I just sort of followed the progress forever and never tried it.    eventually my network expanded and outgrew m0n0 and I required some of pfsense's better features like loadbalance, and I'm pretty impressed.  I don't use captive portal nor have tons of users, I just have a handful of very bandwidth hungry users and I wouldn't use anything other than pfsense at this point

    just an opinion : if you don't have yet a compleate monitoring solution, you can use nagios, you can find freebsd plugins.Or GroundWorkOpensource (like this you can define checks for all you need  ;))

    @Cry: @Eugene: It is news for me that it is obsolete ;-) Hey, it's only been around for 15 years or so: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing (for those that haven't come across it yet) Agree, I misread Kris… He does not reject terms network of class A,B,C. He  simply does not think in these terms: @Kris.J: I don't ever think in terms of Class A,B,C anymore - it's obsolete. Sorry.

    @Monoecus: Where did you put your page to? Is it running on the pfsense box? I have my website hosted on my NAS box (QNAP), and I've made a virtualhost just for this purpose, it works like a charm! Then I just redirect to that host with the arguments I want to show on the page.

    Also, see the many threads where people ask if they can turn pfSense into a general purpose server.  The usual answer is that you're on your own…

    connect it through another com port to pfsense and edit the /etc/ttys file to mark the port as secure. That should give you a standard unix login prompt.

    http://home.comcast.net/~hqh/html/tworouters.htm ;) BTW : I sometimes have no connection between secondary router/ap (DI-624) and primary router after a reboot of the DI-624 ; so also no internet connection as the DI-624's WAN port is not used. A single ping from the DI-624 menu option to the primairy router's IP address is enough to make all ok again.

    I recommend you contact freenas and send them the following link which is a search of the PFSense CVS timeline for ALIX. It lists the changes needed to make m0n0wall and PFSense work with the ALIX board. http://cvstrac.pfsense.com/search?s=alix&t=1&c=1 Other than that you could suggest to freenas developers to chat with PfSense developers so they can get the changes necessary to make it work on the ALIX board. More collaboration between FreeBSD, PFSense, m0n0wall, FreeNAS, PC-BSD, DesktopBSD and Askozia will help make everyone of them better. In fact I think as PFSense, m0n0wall, FreeNAS, PC-BSD, DesktopBSD and Askozia become more popular I think FreeBSD itself will be improved and become more popular. Best Regards, Mark

    Usually cards based on Atheros chipsets work flawlessly. It is the most recommended name I hear all around.

    I'm not sure if pfSense's UPnP implementation supports that, however go re-read my previous post - if you're not using trivially guessable IPs for your pfSense host and the exploit doesn't target pfSense explicitly then you're probably ok. The following thread may eventually contain some of the answers: http://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=433
