I'm sure it would be possible for you to alter your local install - but changing it globally would break things for many other people.  I'm sure if you submit a patch to the folks behind pf they'll get back to you ;)

That is probably the ping for RRD's quality graph metric. Every minute or so it will issue a few ping packets to check how the latency/packet loss to the WAN gateway is like.

Something is seriously out of wack.  I would reinstall and if the problem persists start looking at potential hardware failures.

Do you have a IPSEC VPN Tunnel terminating to the 2nd LAN?? For some reason, i can not ping anything on my 2nd lan from pfSense when a IPSEC Tunnel is running.. If i turn it off, i can ping all day long..

hi did it really work with 1.2.1, i try installing 1.2.1 but i couldn't succeed running and provide internet,  any special setup i must do, isn't it like 1.2 in setup?

Im sorry. I didn't know if I needed to configure anything in pfsense. Thank you very much for the link. MUCH appriciated. Have a great day!!!

aray: send a blank email to announce-subscribe@pfsense.com to get on our announcements mailing list, we'll notify folks there when it's available for purchase. Of course you can also purchase per-install support right now, but for those with numerous installs the pricing on the new model may be much lower, depending on the level of assistance you require.

Using mrtg –> snmp data shows the same values as ntop, so only 20mbit (see screenshot) while the rdd graph in the gui on pfsense shows 50mbit? So even the SNMP data from the interface shows wrong values. Bug in the coding? Or rdd graphs in the gui not displaying correctly? Basicly if I could get the same graphs from the RDD in the gui I would be happy. Uploading it to antoher webserver with a script (with pass in it) wouldn't be such a good idea..

@ermal: Can you verify that the same case exist with 1.2.1 or 1.3? 1.2.1-RC1 built on Thu Aug 7 09:48:37 EDT 2008 I just found a related post with the "nodnssec" option…worked a treat. http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,7248.msg41434.html#msg41434 Thank you for all those who read this. I spent a few hours googling/searching to find a solution (before I posted).

What happens is that the internet is slow and doesnt finish loading pages. It goes at like 1Kb/s instead of 3Mbit! This sounds almost as if you have MTU problems. pfSense lowers the MTU on PPPoE links automatically so it shouldnt be a problem. But maybe you could try to lower the MTU manually to something very low like 1000 and try it again.

@submicron: The git repository isn't for public consumption at this time. It sure makes it harder to contribute if the source isn't available! [ Update ]  Ah, the instructions on http://devwiki.pfsense.org/DevelopersBootStrapAndDevIso appear to still be valid.  I've updated the GitInfo page to make that clear. It's not clear which branch in CVS has the latest code though…?  Help! Is there an ETA for git access for the rest of us?  It is, as you know, much much much nicer to work with than CVS. - ask
