What type of link is there between your pfSense box: DHCP? PPPoE? something else?

It is possible you will need to change the authentication information related to the WAN link in your pfSense box.

Do you know the IP address on which to access the web GUI of the pfSense box? Do you know the userID and password to login there?

I'm now getting hit with this every 5th minute in my inbox:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/graph.py", line 480, in <module>GenerateInterfaceGraph()
  File "/usr/local/bin/graph.py", line 135, in GenerateInterfaceGraph
    'GPRINT:global_tot_tx:ca. %5.1lf%s Total\l'
rrdtool.error: Could not save png to '/tmp/graph/if-[myNIChere]-1h.png'</module>

I'm starting to lean towards a backup and then a fresh reinstall. Thoughts?

have a look at ntop

I just tried your programs(writeio and readio) and they are great :) I used a multimeter to verify that the port did output 50 mA when I set a pin to 1 and it seems to work. I tried my program as well and it worked :) Can't understand why it works when you compile it, but I am happy it does :P

I received the equipment I've been waiting for today, so now I will start to build the circuit to control my power strip.
Thank you for all the help you have given me!

Please describe the behaviour. Does it continue to update, giving new values even after the connection is down?
Or is it that the widget becomes 'stuck', still showing as online and failing to update?

No problem, glad you got up and running.
Don't know how much help I was in the end.  ::)

So I see from title of your config that your on udp 1194 (default for openvpn)  But is this port open from where your at?  Is it open to your pfsense box running openvpn..  You sure your not behind a double nat?

I access my pfsense box from pretty anywhere, but I have changed mine to listen on tcp 443 (ssl port)  Which normally no matter where your at if they have internet access would be open.

Are you behind a proxy where you at?  This can also be an issue - pfsense does allow bouncing off a proxy.  But the client has to be configured for that.

When you say you copied and pasted the config?  Do you mean you used the export package?  What did you export to your client?

If your not seeing anything in that box I would have to think that there is something wrong with the install on the client machine of the openvpn client.

@root2020:

I have been tasked to find a system on a LAN that is attacking an email server on the Internet. I am going to install a pfsense firewall on the LAN this coming week. What would be the best course of action to find this box from pfsense. Their ISP has already sent them a cease and desist and if this is not taken care of, they will shut the company's Internet off.

Any help would be great

You might want to find out 'how' the server is being attacked.  Is it spam mail or DoS?  That will help you nail the culprit(s) down rather quickly with a proper firewall in place (pfSense or otherwise).

Some possibilities:
1. FreeBSD can't find a disk ad6
2. FreeBSD can't find a UFS formatted disk ad6s1 (slice 1 on ad6)
3. You have hit a bug in the FreeBSD startup code that stops it recognizing a disk with a unit number "too high".

Some actions you could take:
1. At the mountroot> prompt follow the suggestion and type a question mark to see what disks are available. (Perhaps your disk has moved to another device number (e.g. 4) because you changed some BIOS option(s) or moved the connector from motherboard to disk.) If the system reports a disk adxs1a then follow the directions to mount it and then edit /etc/fstab to correct the location of the root file system.
2. Move the hard drive to a connector with a lower unit number, preferably in the range 0 to 3 (inclusive). You will likely still get a mountroot error because /etc/fstab will probably point to the wrong location of the root file system. Correct as described immediately above.

If this is too complicated it would help to provide the output from the ? response to the mountroot> prompt and the startup output so we can what disks are actually detected on startup.

You're right of course.  :-[
I must read more carefully.
Interesting though. The so far unexplained vanishing menu when running an older Firebox can be worked around by setting the serial speed to something other than 9600. Might be worth trying.

It works now?

@jimp:

/dev/md0 is a memory disk.

Haha, ahh, thanks. I guess it just reports IO even if it's a memory disk, then.

Thanks,
Ben

Check http://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/1489

When the interfaces are bridged you can still apply firewall rules to prevent whatever communication you don't want.

It's our retarded ISP provider, i was able to get everything to pass through now. I need help on this new version of captive portal for basic setup. Thanks for ya'lls help!
