@thatguy Hello there, thanks for your help, although I do not understand where the code to be copy-pasted is, could you guide me please since I am still a noob at programming.

@stephenw10 I know where the Backup/Restore It does not respond The only way it responds if I ssh to pfsense And selects there the option of restore Which is actually the same thing but there it responds If I change a setting to something specific and it does not work So I return it to the same thing that was before It should work without doing a restore What's happening now When I change the settings of ipv6 And it does not fit (the Internet is disconnected) I change back to the same settings as before The settings change but the link to the Internet remains disconnected The internet link only comes back if I do a restore

Typically your LAN will actually be 1GbE capable and your WAN would be less. Often a lot less. So I was use the Realtek on the WAN where it probably won't be passing as much traffic. Of course the LAN will be passing the same speed unless you add VLANs etc but that would also be a reason to use the Intel NIC there. Steve

I'd be surprised if you can allow access from the WAN side of the wifi mesh somehow. They must offer some control there? This thing? https://consumer.huawei.com/uk/support/wireless-routers/ax3-quad-core/ And you have a number of them? Steve

@daddygo said in pfSense: online and pingable upstream gateway via PPPoE but no internet: I guess the DNS server override is checked Nope it isn't The DNS Resolution Behavior is also set to "Use remote DNS servers, Ignore local DNS" this will help you in many ways https://www.vikash.nl/setup-pfblockerng-python-mode-with-pfsense/ Will check it out tnx! I used Lawrence Systems on youtube's guide on configuring pfBlocker and other areas.

@cudgel Reach out to Netgate support. This is a known issue with some hardware in 2440. I've had two boxes replaced by Netgate under warranty, albeit this was 2-3 years ago. YMMV.

@nazuro Why are you using VLAN 11? Here, my main LAN & SSID are untagged, native. My guest Wifi is on VLAN 3. This means I configure VLAN 3 on pfsense, my AP and switch ports connected to pfsense and my AP. That's all it takes. Only use the VLANs to add additional SSIDs. And when you do that use the same VLAN ID all the way.

@cbch said in Internet Connection causes pings to fail: just adding another NAT adapter to my PFSense router did the job Why would you do that? You really should not have to nat in your vmhost.. For setting up a lab in vm tied to physical network(s) you would use bridge interface in vm network. This ties the vm to the physical world the host is connected to on that interface. If your vms do not need to be tied to physical world via an interface, and say route through pfsense vm to get to the real world. Then the vm network in that case would normally be host only networks.

Reset the settings to default which didn't help. But I looked at the issue with a fresher brain this morning and wondered whether my WAN & LAN port assignments weren't backwards. I'm embarrassed to say that they were, although it's because when I installed 2.5.1 the older gigabit was renamed from re0 to re1, and the new port was named re0. Really stupid that I didn't test this before but wanted to share learning in case someone else tries to Google this issue and doesn't think of testing assignments. With the gigabit ethernet port now installed, I am STILL not getting 200mbps (still throttled to 100mbps) so am still hunting for a solution but will probably start a new thread to focus on that if I don't find what I need in search. Thanks again Kom.

@kush I am happy that you find the solution ans shared with us. I know feeling frustrated with problem especially when no one there to help you. But the worst frustration came from people that created many user ids to bully you. Someone said, you can tell the trees by their fruits. The employees behaviors reflect the company.

@droidus if you are using for business network then I suggest to buy Netgate products. But for home user and in this Covid situation, just buy mini PC (min spec. i5 or ryzen5 with 4g memory) with dual nic. Tip, don't run your main pfsense on virtual machine. Security is a problem with hypervisor. Example of mini PC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnG-CB0w4zE

@bensense you need to disable or replace or delete your aliases in all your floating and interfaces rules. Then you can delete your aliases.

@dimnovotny there are bugs on new pfsense releases that effect some packages.

@andyrh said in Intel Pro/1000 MT Desktop Adapter - 360mbps max: PCI 32bit 33 megahertz will get you 133MBps. I have a suspicion that both slots share the bus based on you numbers. You may need to populate the 16x pci-e slot with a NIC if you can run without a video card. I have not seen a 1x card with 2 ports. An additional to this better to read [ Network Tuning and Performance a simple guide to enhancing network speeds https://calomel.org/network_performance.html

@anfeango said in help dynamic DNS + pfsense + windows server 2012 R2: to the vpn it gives them another network segment And what segment would that be - tap would get its IP from your dhcp. Since tap is a bridged connection. So maybe your not in tap like you think. TAP is not normally what you would want.. And really should only ever be used when you had some specific need that could not overcome when using tun mode. It has many drawbacks and broadcast traffic over a vpn is not going to be good for performance that is for sure! And some devices can not connect via tap - for example the IOS openvpn connect client does not support tap that I am aware of. https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/recipes/openvpn-bridged.html

@steviewunda said in Changing router IP - advice requested please: but I can't see it in Windows Explorer. you can not access it by name or IP \\ipaddress or \\nas.domain.tld Most likely whatever your using for discovery could take a bit of time to refresh? But pfsense would have nothing to do with client on network X talking to another client/server on network X. Do you have a firewall running on the unraid box that might need to be updated to allow your new network access to smb?

Mmm, thinking about this what you really want is to create the file on the remote server yes? You could probably do that with SSH directly rather that creating it locally and then moving it.

@SteveITS Adaptive jumped between 2.2, 2.4 and 2.6Ghz, keeping around the same temps as with PowerD off at 2.4Ghz. Its why I figured just leaving PowerD off might make more sense, the difference in power consumption on a 15W CPU is immeasurably low. I don't think it made more than a watt or two difference when I used a generic PC with a 45W CPU, FreeBSD I suspect is tuned for performance more than power saving as Linux in comparison idled at about half the power consumption of pfSense. Though obviously were on a much newer kernel now. @stephenw10 Its survived a couple of years already. I've actually ordered a newer model with the 8250U as I'm curious how the lower clocks but more threads would scale with my setup as I'm currently load balancing over three WANs and three VPN clients. I suspect it will bottleneck on OpenVPN once I move to Gigabit some time this/next year, but it will give me a chance to see if the CPU thermal transfer can be improved on the 7200U in the meantime. Was actually impressed as I set it to minimum accidentally while figuring this out and at 400Mhz two WANs were still happily pushing 60Mbit each over OpenVPN, but the third WAN speed throttled. That kinda makes sense on a dual-core I guess, the higher latency link being the one that throttled back.
