You're correct those instructions are only needed for 2.1.x and before.

Google Domains could go in a separate section - free if your domain is registered with them.

There is an email on https://secret_pfsense_url/book/preface/feedback.html

Once we finish updating content we'll swing back around and look over that sort of stuff a lot closer.

P.S. I suggest also putting a 'broken since 2.1.5' on the 'packages' pfsense page.  It will save many hours of avoidable frustration and avoidable ill will generation since presently the user is given to think the reason it won't start is 'down to' the user's poor configuration choices, even though no combination could work.

The wiki categories get you pretty much to where you need to be.

I reworded it a little, makes it easier to maintain now. We already have a page that lists all the branches, may as well link to that.

as another gold member, it would be nice if the link on the gold page had the date of the last update of the draft.

2014 came and went and the 2.1 book was never 'released', and here we are with 2.2-RELEASE  (or -STABLE)

Can't thank you enough for this post.

Thanks, the instructions are good now, specially the nanoBSD extra bit.
Agree, better to use the menu option 13.

I opened a new thread since this one is a mess. The new thread has install scripts!! Go get em!

Fell of my chair again laughing, 2nd time this week while reading here. (was reluctant to jump on topic, might cost me some karma :D)
What are you drinking lately? (must get me some of that too ;))

right now?  coffee.

thanks

Indeed. The old book (linked above) is somewhat outdated but it's still covers a great deal. Some of the specifics will have changed but there is a huge amount of general networking/firewall info in that book.
Anything that covers pf such as you referenced above will give you great insight into the underlying processes but won't be much help in using pfSense specifically.
