    Why could you not just fire up a 2nd instance of vsftp have it listen on the IP your sending your want/internet users to with the passive setup to use your public ip.  And a second instance listen on different rfc1918 address where your local clients go. Or as hinted upon just use a secure method of file transfer like sftp that only uses 1 port and there you go no issues, and now your secure!!  And all you have to do is forward 1 port on pfsense. ftp has been antiquated for YEARS, anyone still using it just nuts or lazy… There are FREE sftp clients for any user of any OS to use, there is FREE servers, shit any linux distro out there comes with it.  You can do it on windows now for free as well. So what could be the excuse of still trying to use a unsecure antiquated protocol like ftp?

    I had the same problem before, but I solve it here's how i solve it. make sure you're on the same network with all of your unifi AP then run the unifi controller try to adopt all of the AP it it not work, hard reset all your AP and try to adopt them again if still not work, try unifi discover (you can download it from ubnt.com) to adopt it if some of your AP is isolated, use the wireless uplink from the nearest/strongest signal

    I already bought the Intel, I didn't want to risk it. I can't find any topics on it over other NICS, is it just the support?

    For safety reasons (IPMIs have awful security track records), I'd disable the NIC sharing where you have a dedicated IPMI port on the hardware. We do that on the systems we sell where that's applicable. If it's hardware that only has a shared port IPMI, use that port for your LAN rather than WAN as OP did.

    Hi John, thank you for your reply. For the WAN: right now there is no WAN on these servers. they aren't allowed to go to Internet. Right now the default gateway of these servers is the core switch were all the vlans are pointing as default gateways. Should I still use this as Default gateway on pfsense? by doing this I don't have any WAN but only a LAN with a default gateway, correct? thank you a lot best regards Nick

    @nicholas1520: Thanks for the replies everyone. Once the device is placed in it's bridge mode, there's no way to enter a username and password. It seems that the PPPoE session needs to be initiated by the pfSense then communicate it to the ONT. Oh ok this was not clear to me. Then you could perhaps ask at your ISP what is the best way to connect you custom firewall to their Network or plain the Internet. I am pretty sure they know a way to go for you.

    Thank you KOM I will take a look at using ee or clog it seems like that will allow me to do the searches I need. I'm thinking "time" might not be the best way to express the log file limits because that will change depending on the amount of traffic. 1 day of traffic for you might be 2 or 3 days for someone else or vice versa. I have the email reports package and I had it send me what it had which should be a full day but not in this case because I reset the logs yesterday evening. The email size will be larger than the actual file because it also includes an RRD image of the traffic but probably not by too much. The email is 16megs, spans "Mar 10 20:39:32" to "Mar 11 14:10:55" and is almost exactly 100,000 lines (that's one line per entry at 160 bytes per entry). That's just over 17 hours or approximately (less than) 1 meg per hour. At that rate I should be able to get somewhere around 700 hours of logging or almost a month which will do nicely now that I know how to search it.  :) Obviously, on a busy or slow month that could change considerably. Anyway, I just included all that stuff to help anyone that comes along later that wants to try calculating things. Lots of rounding and estimating going on so try to use your own numbers if you can. Note, I saved all the lines into a text file and that's only 15.7 megs. Thanks for your help everyone. Joe
