In the 10 some years I have been here I would say its more like 99.9% of the time ;) The only thing that gets posted on 4 year old threads is junk.. 4 years ago wold of been what version of pfsense... The changes in pfsense since are going to be drastic...

There may be a GUI option available but using PPPoE with CARP is not something we want to encourage or endorse. If someone really wants to know how to do it, they can find the info.

Your not going to be able to run pfsense on some soho wifi router.

But you can run it on pretty much any sort of OLD pc, or you could run it as a VM using pretty much any virtualization software. You for sure could run it on some say old enterprise firewall hardware you got of ebay or something.

But no your typical off the shelf wifi router is not going to be able to run it.

Please donate to the FreeBSD foundation as linked above if you wish to.

There used to be some FF addons that let you set that on a per-site or global basis. Not sure if any are still around. I used to always run with that set to send the page being loaded as the referring URL, but there were always some sites that ran better one way or another.

I too would see the "Looks like your connection to Netgate Forum was lost, please wait while we try to reconnect." message, but only if I let the browser window fall to the background (while doing something else). As soon as I came back to the forum, the message would stay briefly, and then disappear! (I would never have to log in again though) Was using Firefox/Windows 7, but since switching to Linux Mint 19.1/Firefox, have not seen the message.

Figured as much - thanks for clarification... Prob not a top priority item ;)

So odd - yup see this on recent.. have it blocked specific in that section, and then overall all set to ignored..

Hmm?

Oh wait that is not watching... But I have the parent set to ignored... Will go through all of them again and make sure ignored.

Oh that was that specific thread, yeah have set to ignored... hmmmm?

Thank you very much for the help but i am surrendering.
I understand half of the things you talk about and I think i have rules setup that makes impossibile to create those exemptions (followed the above suggestions but it didn't work)
I don't want to bother anyone more than needed as I am going to reconfigure everything tomorrow (getting a new mini pc)

Thank you :)

Most likely because of the format and the fact that it contains some domain names which could be confused for spam links.

@johnpoz said in New section dedicated to VPN Services:

And netflix has a great US library compared to the other locations ;)

VPNs won't save you there. Netflix has them all blocked. I have a VPS on Linode and I couldn't even connect with my homebrew OpenVPN instance, even though it's US-based so they seem to have every VPS provider blocked as well as commercial VPN services.

Sure that is a huge thread but the info is all old. It's also a great example of threads that should have been split up years ago.

I don't see us spending any time trying to get the individual msg URL redirects to work beyond what already works. You can use the search function to locate specific posts in the thread.

Solved...support helped me access my original account.

Thanks all who voted me up so that I could ask my question.

TL;DR: Most of these types of problems are about reputation so uou will have to ask for people to vote you up - if you deserve trust, you will likely get it.

(In the interest of forum hygene-please start a new topic)

But Grimson.. That is too much work ;)

It does, but it's not as quick, easy, or efficient as the browser-based search in most cases.

It is better for super long threads that don't all get rendered in one page to start with.

Hitting Ctrl-F the second time brings up the browser search interface instead.
