Confirmed on my end too.  If you delete the RRD data, the quality file(s) is not regenerated.

You are asking the questions, but have this mentality of what the answers should be. The second post answered your original two questions perfectly. Now you are changing the details of the original questions, which ultimately changes the answers that you either do not like or do not understand.

If you are new to all this, which you said you were, I suggest reading up on what firewalls, content filtering, routers, and proxies really are first. After understanding what they are and what the limitations and capabilities are of each, you can then formulate better questions for which we can help.

Cheers.

@techy21:

Hello,

I am new to pfsense firewall. Though I was able to configure snmp settings on the pfsense firewall, I could  not configure
snmp trap from pfsense firewall based on the number packets being dropped. Where is the snmpd conf file ? /etc/snmpd.conf seems to be different.
Though I was able to poll and get the statistics, I guess getting a trap for critical events would make sysadmin
life easy :)

Hope somebody ventured into this path and help me ,,,thanks for your time.

warm regards,

Bhaanu

Maybe you can create a route or gateway for that openvpn tunnel and try again

@marcelloc:

You can download dvd torrent iso from many SO,including freebsd(http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.2R/announce.html) just google for it.

You can also create an account at any fileshare sites over internet and download anything you want.

Or install iperf on your firewall and find someone who has 50/35 datalink or more to test it with you.

This is what I usually do to test a connection.  Typically a Linux distro though, they tend to have more peers.

@podilarius:

Did you go to the autoupdater settings and choose the one for your installation. Also, make sure that you have DNS setup and working.

I'm using 2.0-RELEASE amd64 and this was working until I rebooted, or thereabouts. I'll have to watch more closely next time I reboot.

@brcisna:

Will I be able to run parallel  bridges( current and future setup) between School A, B , & C ?  without taking down the current vpn,,, School, A to School B ,,,and bridge setup,,,,from School B to School C  as it is now?

If I understand you correctly then the answer is no. If you bridge A, B, and C together then you now have two DHCP servers active on the same broadcast domain (routers A and B), giving out leases for two different networks. Example LAN host 1 (could be at any of your locations) will get a lease from DHCP server A and get routed that way, LAN host 2 will get a lease from server B and get routed that way. LAN hosts 1 and 2, if they try to talk to each other will do so through the VPN.

The most obvious way to directly connect locations A, B and C without giving up the existing internet connections and vpn is to place a router at each location. That router will serve as gateway for all local hosts, and you will have a dhcp server on site (pfsense or otherwise).

It's generally better to route large or outdoor wireless networks rather than bridge anyway. This prevents broadcasts from propagating across every link, and helps to contain or avoid layer 2 issues such as broadcast storms and other DOS conditions.

Are you planning to keep the wireless connection between B and C, creating a triangle where each location has a direct wireless link to both of the other schools? There are advantages to that, such as load balancing and redundancy.

@bonnecomm:

Would the system be expected to work better if I deleted OPT1-OPT6?

Are you using the OPT interfaces to log into the modems? If you're not using them at all then you may as well delete them, but I don't see why it would help anything if your speeds are slow. I have a similar setup and it works fine.

In my experience, if you have speed issues with MLPPP then it usually comes down to one of
  -a low DSL sync rate on one or more modem
  -packet loss on one or more modem
  -mtu/mru/mrru misconfiguration

Also in my experience, you're likely to get more help troubleshooting MLPPP issues in forums where there are more MLPPP users, such as the Teksavvy forum on dslreports.com. That's where you'll get more help with the troubleshooting and concepts, then you come back here if necessary for details on implementation (although there are plenty of pfsense and freebsd mlppp users in the other forums too).

grep -i mss /tmp/rules.debug

output:

scrub in on $FORINI all max-mss 1456 fragment reassemble

It seems to be correct but if i vist some webpages which require correct MTU it doesn't work, while with other firewalls webpages are shown correctly!!!

WHY?

Hi, i find the solution:

i must change the read-only option:

with:
mount -uw /dev/ufs/pfsense0
it switched off

for switched on i use:
mount -ur /dev/ufs/pfsense0

THX –> to be closed

This traffic is in both ways, everything you got and sent to internet.

You have two options.

you either change lan side ip subnet
-OR-
you bridge those interfaces

but i really don't know how works with bridged connection.

There is an scp only shell built into 2.0. Just add a user and give them only the "User - System - Copy files" permission.
