@KOM: OK, it's fixed.  ARE YOU HAPPY NOW GUYS???  ;D and just amazes me how many people run and use ftp and don't really understand it's pretty simple: the average IT person is expected to be an expert on everything these days, which is impossible.  I fully admit I'm a jack of all IT trades and master of none.  I know enough to (usually) get by, but I must admit that my working knowledge of the exact sequence of FTP handshakes in sorely lacking… Ultimately it boils down to what the programmers decided when writing what looks like a FTP server, the one's I've written even just work on port 21 as there was no need to support more than one connection at a time, in a scheduled time slot fashion. You dont always have to conform to industry standards if the customer requirements are different to others. The avg IT support person can up their game by learning to program as its the programmers who ultimately write the manuals the support people follow, so having a good overview of how everything works and then coding for them can be quite illuminating. Alpha/Beta testing can be useful for understanding the skill of other programmers, seeing the bugs and how quickly things get fixed to understand strengths/weaknesses of said programmers.

During an upgrade you have switched from 32-bit ot 64-bit install (or even from 64-bit back to 32-bit). You should check on the dashboard if ou have 32 or 64 bit, and check in System->Firmware, Updater Settings to see if there is some special or wrong place selected for getting updates. If you change the 32/64 bit then the old RRD files will not work.

I'm having a question about high internet speed, How high the speed is there? The Internet connection I mean?  :( currently when I do a speedtest I have roughly ~100Mbit speed What kind of speed test? Through the Internet? Or from on to another PC by using iPerf?  ;) When I'm looking in my PfSense the cpu will go higher then +70% Which CPU, Cores, GHz, how many RAM, which architecture, which LAN Ports are in usage (Realtek, Broadcom or Intel)?  >:( and the admin panel 'n such will freeze up mSATA, USB Stick, HDD, SSD or SATA-DOM?  :o Even the OpenVPN will freeze up, so something is clearly wrong with this process Or is only the hardware not capable enough? Is this 32Bit or 64Bit Hardware you are using? Are their any free miniPCI or PCI slots in the system? Does anyone else have experience'd this and knows how to fix it ? Really fast hardware, with AES-NI or VPN (crypto) acceleration hardware support Multi Core (Dual or Quad) CPU ~@3GHz or around would be good, 4 GB or 8 GB RAM Intel NICs server grade or newer on board ones.  :-* pfSense store SG-xxxx units  :D Supermicro C2x58 SoC boards Celeron G3260 @ 3,2GHz Jetway NF9HG-2930 Alix APU Boards Alix Boards & Soekris vpn 14x1 cards

I seem to have somewhat similiar problem: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=97431.0 Began after last update.

@Derelict: Sounds like Wi-Fi just isn't your thing. (Did you disable the DHCP server on the TP-Link?) (I said "AP" (Access Point).  Not "Router") Correct. I never had much time fooling around with it. Except once trying to turn a usb-dongle into a AP..after many hours/days of cursing, it worked…but whatever. Yes, I disabled DHCP. Androids can finally connect. Now it's just the darn Chromecast left. I remember some setting when I had the AP running at the pfsense which made the Chromecast work, can't find it on this cheap TP-Link-thing though.

"ftp bounce attack, victim is 192.168.1.4:2266, action, DROP" Opening and forwarding the ports would be one thing, but then setting up rules that are matching exactly this ports and services is also a must be. Could it be that only the firewall rules are not matching this behavior? Using FTP.exe imply to me that you were also able to use something likes FileZilla Server software because it is also free of charge and offers on top S/FTP service. Also a script that opens a SSH connection to your home firewall would be nice running and able to do.

Yeah. Check for a BIOS update. If you've changed anything in your BIOS, try changing it back, or just resetting the BIOS settings to defaults.

I used standard procedure to install in FreeBSD OS correspondíng to the pfsense versión.  Look into the ports folders for the MySQL server version in the port to identify the correct name of the package. It will install the dependencies.

Good question! You are exporting the logs to some external syslog server? Steve

@pigdogs It's not obvious what equipment you're using here. The most recent BT hubs have the VDSL modem integrated so you'd need to either put it in bridge mode or setup pfSense behind it ina double NAT scenario which is not ideal. As the others have said you want to have a separate VDSL modem really such as those BT supplied for use with their ealier hubs. Steve

@doktornotor: Because it's extremely well hidden in the GUI! Interfaces - WAN - scroll to the bottom. :o ::) I've assumed this an written it above, but was not sure if it helps.

May actually be in SMB3.0 http://blogs.technet.com/b/josebda/archive/2012/05/13/the-basics-of-smb-multichannel-a-feature-of-windows-server-2012-and-smb-3-0.aspx SAMBA 4.0 is currently working on SMB3.x, but doesn't support multi-channel yet https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/SMB3_kernel_status#SMB_3.0

Usually that's because either something else is using that IP address, or it's not really usable in that subnet (e.g. it's a null route or broadcast address) Can you show what IP addresses you are using and the subnet mask? You can block out the first three portions, the last IP part is what is significant here.

Thanks! This helps a ton!

Nested VMs on your side would do NOTHING to hide your connection point..  Hiding your traffic from your connection provider requires just one layer of encryption.  putting a tunnel inside a tunnel inside a tunnel is pretty pointless.. Create a tunnel to a trusted endpoint on the outside of your connections providers network.  If you then want to bounce a connection off of that through multiple proxies, turn tor through that connection even to hide your actual connection point from the tor network or proxies you use. But running nested vms to accomplish this goal is just wasted resources time and performance.

@doktornotor: No idea where do rules on OPTx come into play here. This line should have been 1st, then it would make more sense. Personally I'd not bridge the way you have as you can isolate traffic more with things like snort using custom rules & schedules along with various fw rules a little better and dhcp on each OPTx interface In answer to your question, its because of the bridge problem, which you mentioned to the OP. Of course this might help as others have reported things not working properly since freebsd 9, that might explain why bridges are a pain, bit like the states not working as expected. https://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-pf@freebsd.org/msg05983.html Edfit.
