If you have to disable IPv6 to get Google Play downloads to function, then it sounds like there might be an issue with the IPv6 settings on your WAN or LAN interfaces, or your ISP is having issues.

Some ISP's in the US are still in the process of deploying IPv6 (and there are some that still haven't even started rolling it out). You might get an address, but it may not be a stable connection as they continue to roll it out throughout an area. Or if you have an ISP that isn't supporting it, you might need to disable it on your LAN interface to make sure that the router isn't advertising itself as an IPv6 router.

How to remove references to old packages:

Actually probably a better post if it was put either in general or packages forums but-

so in other words, everyone is saying. your feedback is stupid, you are dumb and get the hell off my forums.

You're entitled and encouraged to offer feedback.  Others can either agree or disagree, with reasons.  That's how public discourse works.  If you can't handle differing opinions expressed civilly without feeling like you're under attack, well… I don't know what to tell you because nobody said your feedback was stupid nor did anyone ask you to leave.  My belief is that pfSense is aimed at professional environments under the control of professional network staff.  You have to know what you're doing or you're not going to get the desired results.  You can only simplify complex subjects so much.  Wizards just either get in the way or limit your options.

Same here - love it! Great work.

@jimp:

pfSense logs are only stored in /var/log, not "all over the place". There may be some packages that break that convention but they are the exception, not the rule, and the packages should be fixed if they are doing that (where possible), or at least under /var/.

A custom install allows for creating multiple partitions and such, though using a second disk isn't so simple. We have plans to revamp the installer soon, so that might show up, but it's too soon to say.  For those that need/want to use a second disk, formatting and adding it to fstab is fairly easy for the technically inclined.

What I meant for "All over the Place" was in the GUI. You have to click around through some of the different functions to find the logs. My suggestion; which is still valid by the way, is to move the log directory to a secondary disc that has a catalogued files system specifically for logs and create a central location in the GUI to manage and clear ALL logs.

Lol.
But my solution works you know…
Tested :)

Truthfully the only way I see my firewall having problems while Im out of town is a hardware failure. Since my wife nor any of our kids will probably not be trying be configuring the firewall in my absence.    ;D

Your solution seems the most logical.

But in any event.  jbhowlesr -  download putty and learn it while you have a chance.

It seems I'm not able to access anything but the latest Hangout

It is most likely an issue with a browser plugin that you are running.

Indeed, in this case it was EFF's Privacy Badger. Thanks j

I started a sticky thread here to get things started: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=105184.0

Same here very difficult to browses. It would be great if Tapatalk is allowed

You trying to run 2 subnets over the same wire??  devices on subnet 2 it would be impossible to get an dhcp address from subnet 4..  Unless you think you can just run 2 different address schemes over the same wire and run 2 different dhcp servers??

Hooray!  8)

Yeah that's the bbcode for that smiley. Check the box, or put the output in a code or quote block (always best for command output), if you won't want it to do that.

lol
My point was that maybe pfsense guys could do nothing about it :=)
That issue was on higher level… Unheard levels...

Updated earlier, thanks.

Good idea!  8)

I have thought about a similar idea of posting fairly short gifs that highlight different features of pfSense with a short description (140 chars or less…) in the hopes they get passed around the twittersphere. Maybe it is something that could also be community generated, we could post the specs of the gif (desired dimensions and length) and people could post their ideas...
