@Island:

can it load balance between the two to give you higher speeds when doing multiple uploads/downloads, or does it provide fail-over functionality only if one of the connections goes down?

However you configure it. (Both is possible)
Take a look at the how-to's.

Awesome, thanks :)

If you need trafficshaping of the vpn traffic using ipsec is currently the way to go as I know that this will be working with the upcoming shaper changes. OpenVPN shaping is not supported atm, same like filtering inside openvpn tunnels.

looking at this another way then. Is it possiable to forward on web traffic from squid to the ISA without losing the source IP address? As we are a school i have to keep track of what children are accessing.

Thanks

Thankyou very much! Works like a charm  ;D

My installation was bad, new install fixed this one right up! ;D

Cool…. that seems to do the trick.  Added the sysctl command to /conf/config.xml under the <system>heading as listed below.

Thanks Scott!!

<system>.
.
<shellcmd>sysctl net.inet.ip.redirect=1</shellcmd></system></system>

Remove the WITNESS option from your kernel, rebuild and reinstall kernel.

The current configuration file can be found from the last field of "uname -v".

Ok Thanks i will try that.
Thanks for the info.

Keep in mind the air is a shared media. The heavier the traffic gets the more likely collisions will happen and packages have to be resent or come in as garbage. If you want to simulate this without the wlan just drop in a switch and throw some of the clients connected on cablenics on that switch. Then retest. I bet it's the wlan and not pfsense.

A common issue on *nix boxes.  If a file is open, but deleted, then du will not find it, but df will (correctly) report the space it is using.  Until the file is closed the space isn't freed up.

Dear All,

We are still struggling to make COM port work on pfsense. Could anyone give us a simple script or any suggestions to make us to be able to receive data from COM port?

Any advice would be highly appreciated!

pls help us…

Does nobody use the search function - VMWare tools is a sticky at the top of the Virtualisation forum!

No I have not. Thank you, I didn't know it existed. I will look there.

One reason for this concept is because of blade systems and server using advanced network storage servers.  FreeNAS  directly to mind.  It in it's own right is a awesome product.  I been testing with it and hooked ISCSI devices directly to is and shared them directly out to ISCSI on 2003 and Vista.  It has some incredible implications.

The other thought is building a computer that has muiltple computers systems in one case (mini-itx)  Possible 2 or more each with ISCSI connections to storage server Z(IE: PFSense on one and Untangle on the other) each providing services to the internal network in a nice clean single 1U or 2U case.  One more possibility is to go one step further and build a ultimate system with three or 4 mini-itx buoxes in a 4U or 5U box.  With the storage server(FreeNAS (ISCSI)) connections via several drives.  This wouls act as the disk storage for both the Firewall(PFSense) and Untangle providing filtering and other services.  Intergrated into the massive box would be a 4 port serview so only 1 keyboard. mouse, and monitor connection would be needed.  Add in a 1GB unmangaed switch for the ISCSI traffic and it all self contained.

One huge appliance replaces many different servers and cut's energy costs.  Just think what the possibilities are?  With a small business customer you can basicly sell a 1000 to 1500 box and then replace a high end router and if you compare the other appliances that are outher that require many different lic's and maintenance charges annually it look very attractive.

This is a concept and I really interested in see how a box built like this would run and looking at the engineering challenges that would take to make something like this practical.

If anyone is interested in a project like this, let me kmow I love to try to figure out what it would take to build a solution like this.  I just trying now to identify hardware and components.

Blade systems are the system of choice.  If we can make our product be able to use that type of system or enviroment it would put even closer to the enterprise system that we know it can be.
