  @akuma1x Yeah I saw that, hence my question. Very slow process. PITA. Good place for a "Select All" checkbox, I'd think.

  Guys, thanks for helping me prove I'm not a Russian chat bot. I did get this to work by adding that usbconfig command as an early command. in the XML file. I'd like to understand why my usbquirk didn't work, but I'll save that for later. Now I have it working, I have an issue getting openvpn to start. I suspect it really does not like USB ethernet. Instead of continuing this thread in the wrong place, I'm going to start a new one, a thread about being flagged as spam is no place for openvpn support. Thanks again everyone for the upvotes and help.

  @NollipfSense said in Flagged for Spam: I have never seen the back office of forums to see all the spam issues. You don't want to. It's a f**king mess. And without anti-spam measures you'd simply drown in the flood of bullshit-crossposting-bots that only want to advertise some BS links in their texts or signature. That's why all posts below a certain rep-rating are now looked at very closely (esp. below 5-10) as those bots simply come, post their BS and leave (mostly with less than 5 posts). Also logging in from addresses that were reported from spam or are VPN links (and shared with many users) can trigger anti-spam. Or posting (many) links in a post - even accidental. So nothing evil with Netgate running (they ran pfsense.org long enough beforehand) but simple the internet being ... the internet.

  This forum is specifically for asking questions related to the forum software itself. That's why it's called Forum Feedback. If you have a general question about pfSense, the best place to ask those would be the General pfSense Questions forum. Firewall rules allow or deny access. They don't introduce packet loss. Your problem seems to be several hops upstream so I'm not sure what you think pfSense can do about that.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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)

  I get that you want to complain/be angry but you are playing by the troll handbook very closely. You keep moving goalposts, now gatekeeping and playing "no true Scotsman". If you want to rant without basis, do it elsewhere. You won't win anyone over by acting the way you are.

  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.

  I am not familiar with NodeBB, if it is FOSS or commercial, but it may be worth asking on their support forum what the options are.

  Yeah PIA is going to be a bunch of spammers for sure!! Once they get put in the database forum is going to bock posts from those IPs.. Blam the spammers for such problems... Use your actual IP when talking to pfsense forums and you want have any issues... Which is what makes policy routing such a nice feature. I show that 23.237.x.x as your current session for the last 8 hours using Safari 12.0.1 on Apple Mac, and yeah that IP is going to be blocked..

  newbie-how to view images in the posts?

  When they changed from old forum software SMF to the New NodeBB setup seems like some images did not translate well... They are still there from my understanding just not displaying.. When this first happened there was discussion on working to fix that... But not sure if that is still the case? I know it sucks - but with growth sometime comes pain.. And some of the older posts might be harder to follow with loss of images... But this happens all the time when users use outside links to images and those images get taken down or the hosting location goes away, etc.. If you can not see for example this picture I am attaching of this posting - then you have something else wrong..  Can you see that image or are you just seeing the text like above.. In this post you should see the image and the text pointing to the image I quoted.
