    The denyhosts package will help block ssh script kitties. Yes this is a port scan being run against you by many script kitties. I would suggest changing the SSH port to something other than 22 (like 222). This will prevent these types of attacks.

    Sometimes it takes other people to point out the obvious (been there myself many times). It could have been almost anything, the trouble is that cheap unmanaged switches have no diagnostics, so it's impossible to tell what's gone wrong. Buying a managed switch (Mikrotik's RB250GS is one cheap 5 port option) gives you a better chance to diagnose that type of fault.

    You could just add firewall rules to your wireless interface to allow it to access the internet. No need to swap LAN and OPT1 (unless I missed something). It looks to me that on my system the web server (lighttpd) will accept incoming connections to any address, not just the address of the LAN interface. Indeed I was able to connect to it from a system on an OPTx interface.

    In general it is recommended to NOT mix use of parent interface with VLANs. There are complications if bridges are involved. See the FreeBSD man pages for vlan and bridge.

    Not to dig too deeply into failure analysis, but I've found a huge difference between crap quality and good quality PS's. The crap capacitors dry out quicker, and the cheap bronze bearings in the fans (Another big failure point) gum up, dry out, and fail. After disassembling about 50 random failed PS's, Capacitors were the biggest failure, and the fans were often on the verge of failure, if not failed. When it fails, a crap PS can also take out the HD, MB, Memory, and even KB and mouse. I've seen it happen more than once. On the other hand, I wouldn't trust the most reliable drive in the world. Especially with modern drives, it's not a matter of if, but when.

    i think i figured the issue out. I was following this url: [http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,4225.msg25915.html#msg25915/url] to forward traffic to a squid proxy (linux box with 10.10.171.40 address) , i removed the LB pool and delete the rule that the post recommends, rebooted the box and everything looks ok now. Back to the 2nd issue, how do I now forward traffic to the linux box running squid ?](http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,4225.msg25915.html#msg25915/url] <br /><br />to forward traffic to a squid proxy (linux box with 10.10.171.40 address) , i removed the LB pool and delete the rule that the post recommends, rebooted the box and everything looks ok now.<br /><br />Back to the 2nd issue, how do I now forward traffic to the linux box running squid ?<br /><br />)

    Doh!  OK, I think I may have found a problem. It appears that I had set my default allow all Non-LAN traffic to PASS rule too restrictive with just TCP as the protocol instead of any. Appears to be happily pinging and resolving hosts now.
