    Not currently, no. That sort of reporting is usually handled by a log or authentication server. If you have the system logs copied to an external syslog server, that may have a way to alert on login since it will cause a predictable entry in the OpenVPN log. If you have an external authentication system (RADIUS, LDAP) then it may have its own reporting.

    Not currently, no. It is something we reevaluate from time to time, however. It may show up eventually, but it's not there now.

    If it's really that urgent, perhaps you should post this to the Traffic Monitoring forum… There are a number of packages available to pfSense that can monitor usage.  Cron is also one of the packages you can install, and it is fairly well-documented.

    And can you post your rules lan, and do you have any rules in the floating tab?  Is your internet actually working from a client connected to pfsense?  You didn't put any sort of gateway on lan interface did you?  You did not setup any sort of vpn did you? Your not using any proxy in your browser?

    Hi Hydrian, I've created a simple one in PHP: // set PHP execution limits ini_set('max_execution_time', 60); set_time_limit(0); $startTime = time(); getPfsConfig("https://Your.URL.com:443", "YourUser", "YourPassWord"); $endTime = time(); echo " Runtime: " . ($endTime - $startTime) . " Seconds"; /**********************************************************************************************************/ function getPfsConfig($Url, $User, $Pass) { // Basic Config $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION, CURL_SSLVERSION_DEFAULT); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 5); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 20); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "");  // activate Session Cookies! // Login curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $Url . "/diag_backup.php"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "usernamefld=" . $User . "&passwordfld=" . $Pass . "&login=Login"); curl_exec($ch); // get the Config File XML curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "donotbackuprrd=yes&Submit=download"); $cOut = curl_exec($ch); // Logout curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $Url . "/index.php?logout"); curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); // Check if valid Config File     $checkXml = @simplexml_load_string($cOut);     if ($checkXml) { $rootPath = "data"; preg_match('@^https?://?([^:]+)@i', $Url, $matches); $filePath = $rootPath . "/" . $matches[1] . "_" . date("Ymd-His") . ".xml"; file_put_contents($filePath, $cOut); echo "Config File: " . $filePath . " saved.";     } else { echo "No valid XML file received!"; } } ?> Just copy the code to a file on a directory on any PHP capable server with cURL extension, create a subdirectory "data" with write permissions and edit URL and credetials. You then can run it by directly calling the file, or putting it in a cron job. Everyone feel free to use it. Any corrections and suggestions are welcome! Cheers, Harry

    You should assign the bridge, not the member interfaces. (And set the system tunables so that you packet filter the bridge and not the interfaces.) Answered about zillion times before.

    Well it's true the software was more designed to be used in a LAN environment, but it also is supposed to support remote phones with features, which ends up creating these huge packets. But my application aside, I am still curious what happens when a big packet hits the PFSense.

    @akong: Hello, I will upgrade from 2.1.5 to 2.2.3 at other server. What is this problem about loader.conf.local file? Could you tell me what's problem and how to fix it? It is only if you happen to have certain hardware where there seem to have been some regressions in disk things somewhere betwen FreeBSD 8.3 and 10.1. Since you have been running fine already on 2.2.* then you do not have hardware like that. For reference an example thread is: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=87364.0

    Was hoping to recover gracefully, but alas this was not to be so.  I've re-imaged and recovered from a previous backup. On another note 2.2.3-RELEASE has a smaller memory footprint from what I can see. Thanks

    I have a traffic shaping in place but not on a WLAN. My Alix has only the built in LAN ports. I increased the maximum limit of mbufs now. I have observed an absolute stable and very low amount of mbufs allocated at all times (in the RRD graphs). I'm not expert enough to understand which facts have an influence on used mbufs so it's difficult for me to trace an increase down to specific behavior of hosts in the network. Because the RRD graphs stop to display data on midnight before a crash of my pfSense I did not observe the amount of used mbufs shortly before a crash yet. I changed the RRD backup cycle to one hour now. Maybe the next time I can actually see an increase of used mbufs in the RRD graphs (if this does not occur only within minutes before a crash). Are there know typical scenarios which cause used mbufs to increase dramatically? I rather suspect that something else is eating up memory which has been reserved for mbufs. In other words something else / another process has higher priority when requesting memory than the network processes / the mbufs reservation. Is this possible at all in FreeBSD? -flo-

    @three18ti: I just added 10 host DNS overrides entries and it was PAINFUL!  Copy the host name, copy the domain, copy the IP, submit, wait for the page to load, scroll to the bottom of the page, click the plus button, wait for the page to reload, repeat. It easily took me 30 mins to add those ten entries.  I have a few dozen more to do tomorrow.  (And that's not even mentioning the stuff we want to do with VMware which will require automatic updates without human intervention). Apparently there is not going to be an API…[1] So, pFsense gurus, how do you automate firewall changes?  Any awesome Chef recipes?  Or should we be looking at a paid Cisco product if we need automation? Thanks for any advice! [1]  https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=76587.0 Have you tried the "Advanced" menu?  For example: bogus-nxdomain=198.105.244.24 bogus-nxdomain=198.105.254.24 address=/examplez.com/127.0.0.1 The Advanced menu for dnsmasq here is over 1100 lines long.  running ps -Aww isn't pretty, but it works nicely from the first domain to the last!

    The configurations options in squid are vast…  Just my opinion but not really a fan of running a proxy on my actual firewall.. If you require a proxy then I would do that on its own setup..  If you have a firewall in front of pfsense - why don't you just setup a squid box?  Seems odd to me to run pfsense just to get squid going, since squid is a addon package to pfsense and provided more as convenience..  I would move your question to the squid forums or the package section this forum. Do you have any delay pools setup in squid? http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/DelayPools?highlight=%28delay_pools%29 This is normally how you would limit speeds.. Out of curiosity why do you "need" squid or a proxy in general?
