@ jimp,

Working now like charm ;D Thx m8's… ;)

pfSense v1.2.3

Currently opened a thread with an odd issue regarding the setup to see if it's worth moving 'back' to v2.

@skorge:

Hi,

I noticed that there doesn't seem to be any active moderators for the Swedish part for the forum. I have used pfSense for quite some time now and tried all different types of setups and would definitely enjoy managing the Swedish threads and assist the swedish users with their questions if that would be helpful.

Just let me know, and thanks for all the effort put down in pfSense!

We do need a mod for the Swedish part of the forum… :) I'm also from Sweden, and working as an IT-consult, and using pfSense for 2 years now.

Cheers
Kirill

Thanks  ;D

No sir, I am a meat popsicle

Bruce Willis, Welcome!

Sending a PM to moderators asking for personal help with a pfSense problem is frowned upon

Sending a PM for a forum issue to correct a post that could be problematic should be fine. :-)

Though I would classify misinformation a form of "abuse" so the report post button seems like a good choice to me, though don't go too crazy with it.

It is highly unlikely that squid would ever be in the base system. It is by far the most popular package, but I wouldn't go so far as to say the majority of installations have squid running.

The bandwidth limits you describe are already in 2.0, they're called limiters.

I only can confirm

I am a sysop for a small factory in Thailand and I have to use old hardware (386 !). The previous hardware was only able to support pfsense 1.2.2 (because of a memory mapping problem and how BSD is handling the memory) and it was working fine for over 1 year without a glitch. I encountered a problem when we switched to google apps (from exchange) as I needed a rule to allow the non internet users to get their mail … and voila the V2 beta 5 is doing the trick!!!

I did have to change the hardware : i got a newer (! year 2002) 386 board with 700something megabyte of ram and 40 gig harddisk, 2 nics and a cd player. It works great for a group of about 25 users of which 4 users are heavy internet users and about another 5 normal internet users. All have email accounts and antivirus installed.

Thanks team ... you are making a great product! (and my life easier)

I'll just add that this is your firewall we're talking about, it absolutely has to be rock solid. That means a lot of testing and long periods between releases. I'd say the forum has plenty of activity though.

Hey!

82.136.96.201 is my IP!!

It belongs to someone in Switzerland.

They could have been testing the waters to see how the password reset system works. If there are a lot of them the admins will now as everything is logged by IP.

Real numbers from a real setup seem to be so rare and yet every other post in the hardware forum is 'will box X support line speed Y'. Great job.  ;D
I'd love to see some some cpu usage figures from your box under load. I assume you don't have any packages installed?
