    This is not really built in but I guess it should be rather easy as you could just diff the different configs. A bounty of course would help to raise interest as I think this is a rather specific need that not too many people are interested in.

    There is one thread from almost exactly a year ago that matches GF's search suggestion, here it is:

    http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,4505.0.html

    Your hardware looks fine though - what kind of WAN link are you hooking it up to - what is the speed?  Your upstream connection will likely be your bottleneck, and that hardware will have plenty of cycles to spare filling it up.

    I hadn't upgraded this particular installation from 1.0.1 yet.  I did that last night / early this morning, and it looks like entering the same IP twice works fine now :)

    The embedded is exactly the same as the full version.
    With the exception that you cannot install packages, and that the kernel wont panic if there is no keyboard/no VGA/default console output is COM1 (serial port)

    So, after searching around I found out how to reset the graphs now that it is on the hard drive. I am happy to report everything is working 100%. Thanks for the help, and now this thread can now be closed.  ;D

    While we are talking about FTP Helper. I want to share another trick.

    When you have a WAN using a private subnet and a DMZ using a public subnet.
    You will certainly have an advanced outbound NAT rule that will NAT outgoing packets sourced from LAN with an IP address from the DMZ public subnet thus making the packet routable through Internet. Right, but what about FTP and Active FTP ? FTP helpers won't work because they will use your WAN IP Address, which is unreachable, inside FTP protocol. (eg. PORT command).

    To solve this:

    Edit the /etc/inc/config.inc file and go to line 1670 (in the 1.2 release), should looks like this one :

    mwexec("/usr/local/sbin/pftpx {$shaper_queue}-c {$port} -g 8021 {$ip}");

    Comment out this line and add this one:

    mwexec("/usr/local/sbin/pftpx {$shaper_queue}-c {$port} -g 8021 -p [PUBLICIPHERE]");

    Should work fine.

    I have 10+ boxes running like this since pfsense uses pftpx.

    Are you trying to ARP lookup an IP from the WAN? what for?
    Are you talking about a bridged setup? routed? NATed?
    Do you want to spoof the MAC of a PC on the LAN to the WAN?

    Generally more information would be nice. (what are you trying to achieve?)

    No, any device that "automatically adds states" when needed should not be trusted.  States require RAM.  Not every machine has unlimited RAM which would end up in a nasty situation.

    Regardless, pfSense should not "lock up" under full state situation.  It will simply stop passing new connections.

    I would check your Network interface cards.  It almost sounds like you are going down when you have high IRQ loads.

    How about sponsoring it!

    You win IPv6 and pfSense devs take something back for their work.

    @MicroWISP:

    Use one of these…

    http://www.digital-loggers.com/lpc.html

    I wouldn't know what to do without them.

    was just shopping these around on ebay and such, neat and useful looking.  thinking about getting one and figuring out a way to have it auto-reset my cable modem when the pfsense LoadBalance monitor detects the link is down

    theres also a competing product, much more expensive "iBoot" but only has 1 plug, lame

    You can do this by using Captive Portal.

    1. Set captive portal to no authentication.
    2. You need to allow your website through captive portal with "Allowed IP Addresses"
    3. Upload a custome captive portal page with one of the following:

    Custom page that looks like your website

    A PHP or meta tag redirect

    A frame or iframe to you website

    Simple page that says what you want to say with a link to your website.

    If you will have many users you might want to do the following to help Captive Portal scale better.
    These performance improvements I have identified by running 100+ customers in Captive Portal with pfSense.

    This prepares the pfSense built in web server for more concurrent traffic.
    http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,8861.msg50280.html#msg50280

    This helps optimize PHP so it doesn't hold web server resources for a long period of time.
    http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,8878.0.html

    The above performance enhancements will be included in pfSense 1.3.

    You have to make the clients use the proxy (like proxy settings in webbrowser and so on). Simply add block rules at interface>lan so they really have to use it .
