Quite right, that was the screenshot of the default pfSense page I got after install. I should have shown the shot after I assigned the addresses correctly. I tried again this morning and after a lot of simple changes discovered that I had to clone the MAC address onto pfSense. Instant success. Now have a massively overpowered router for the price of a few hours of work. Thanks!
See the same (like) behaviour for the (open)VPN (users) graph.
I have seen the first time I logged into the openvpn as a (usercount)
spike, but subsequent logins do not show. (it shows a "0" flatline)
Can you enable 'desktop mode' in your browser on Android/iPhone/iPad/etc? I know that enabling that in Dolphin Browser for Android will show the same pfSense theme that's shown in Firefox on my desktop.
0/ Use IPv6. Problem solved.
1/ Use some VPN.
2/ Use NAT (need separate port for each device)
0/ but don't use a /24 of v6. (Don't worry, you won't get a routable /24 of v6.)
1/ he was asking about OpenVPN
99/ this was '2', but NAT sucks so hard that I demoted it.
