    There are a ton of bindings and customizations in the way things start up, the way things are configured in FreeBSD, etc. You'd need to either use our whole build system (which is a real pain), or write your own init and make a lot of customizations to the pfSense code. Might be better to start from m0n0wall depending on what you want to do. Or if it's something related to pfSense, it would likely make the most sense to just create a package and avoid the pain and many, many hours that go into creating your own system like this from scratch.

    I've seen this happen before on BSD systems where realtek interfaces had issues staying on the network unless traffic was always flowing through them.  In that case, it was a driver issue.  What kind of card are you using?

    I also missed how to save the configuration (I was trying to go to floppy) - no other feedback or options I saw on the webgui for saving (other than backup/restore - which I did).  Only after googling did I find this thread and was able to select the "option 98" to get the save made to the floppy disk (then used the restore option to save prior work to the floppy).

    Could help usability a bit by keeping the save option "98" active later (maybe I want to save to floppy now but a week from now want a USB configuration) and having something clearly on the Webgui too (a big "save configuration" button).  After the basic console setup of the NICs enough to get a client machine connected I'm looking up the webgui to finish configuring.

    I tested the changes. I didn't see any real performance difference in my testing. Response times remained within a small margin of error with the old settings and with the new on a 256MB ALIX firewall and a 1GB PIV 2.8GHz desktop firewall.

    However, the new settings did reduce the amount of memory used by php. Not that big a deal on the big memory machines, but a significant improvement on lower end machines.

    So I've tweaked the settings a bit more. Changes from the last version:

    1. Don't disable fast_cgi on tiny boxes. I misunderstood the previous settings and having fast_cgi enabled really makes a big difference even on a tiny box.
    2. More aggressive settings for max_children and max_requests for "larger" boxes.

    Some of the guipages (like index.php or queues.php) are dynamically updating. This might cause some performance impact on lower end hardware. Not sure if you run the dashboard package but this will add some more overhead as well. Haven't seen that on non low end hardware though. On the other hand I agree that there might be some room for improvement by tweaking some webserver settings.

    I created a ticket for this some time ago so we will revisit this before 1.2.1 gets released. In the meanwhile feel free to tweak the file by hand like shown here: http://cvstrac.pfsense.org/chngview?cn=16999

    $opcode_cacher  .=  "apc.shm_size="8"\n";

    The red number being the cache in MB. From our tests in the past you have to find the best setting as a too low number will cause the webgui to be pretty slow but even a too hogh number seems to have a negative affect. Feel free to post the best setting that you found out for your system. Note that you have to reboot the system after changing that file (you can do so easily from the webgui using diagnostics>edit file).

    IIRC some Unix systems would parse an IP address such that an initial 0 meant the following number was octal (base 8) thus 031 (octal) was 25 (decimal) and so 201.031.161.136 meant 201.25.161.136 which is confusing until you discover whats going on. I'm not sure the convention was universally adopted, in which case there would be an ambiguity in 031.

    No idea if 031 is rejected because of this possible ambiguity.

    @mcrane:

    If you are using firefox you can save the link to your pfsense box. Then go back to that favorite right click on it and choose properties. If you put pfsense in the keyword section and save it. Then you can go to your browser's URL bar and type pfsense and it will then replace the keyword with your link you saved in the favorites.

    Another option way this can be done on more than one system is by using opendns with a free account. Once you are logged into opendns you can define keywords that will be replaced with links that you define.

    Actually these are nice options that I never have thought about yet. Great ideas!  :)
