Ok, Thank You I will do some more testing/Log reading and see if I find any clues on this. will update if I find anything.

Correct. I didn't troubleshot much or check the routing table. Was in the middle of something and didn't want to digress. I'll probably be testing more in the next week or two.

Great! Thanks for the help Steve. Much appreciated!

@KOM hello KOM, ... Nice. that did the trick! Not sure why, but it worked. Also, I got another issue on my script. I was missing the full path for the wc command. Thanks!! Appreciate the tip! Fabricio.

Hmm, that could be gui variable quite easily I would think. You could add it as a feature request. Or submit a pull request... Steve

If you need help on how to setup virtualbox I suggest you hit up their forums.. https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/virtualization/virtualizing-pfsense-with-vmware-vsphere-esxi.html Below that are guides on hyper-v and proxmox as well.. Sure there are some guides for vitualbox as well all over the inernet (can not vouch for their correctness) .. Back in the day ran it on virtualbox myself... All of the vm software in concept are the same.. But yes your going to need to understand those concepts if you want to run a router on a VM host. I would suggest you start a thread in the virt section https://forum.netgate.com/category/33/virtualization If you want specific help. If your vm host only has 1 nic its going to be more difficult, but not impossible and multiple ways to skin the cat depending on your skillset and hardware you have on hand.. Vlans would be how you would do it normally, but if all you want is the host itself and vms on the same host to route to wan from the vm pfsense - that can be done as well with simple host only network.. Again start a thread in the virt section for any specifics you might have questions on.

sorry I solved I had forgotten activating a floating rule that was used to see wifi_ospiti to lan_net everything works now THANK YOU SO MUCH

If clients had connections open before you applied those Limiters they may still have unlimited firewall states present. If they are using an always on VPN for example. Reset the states, see if it's still there. That will be disruptive though. Steve

Is the firewall default route via WAN1? Some traffic from those boxes, like DNS, might still be going that way if they use pfSense. You would that expect that to affect an existing call though. Steve

@dnickel It's draw.io It's pretty solid drawing app. @Derelict found the cause of error. Apparently my all my 3 subnets is in different AZs. Instance and Network Interface should sit in the same AZs to work.

Thanks. I can just run "/etc/rc.initial" and it fires up the shell. Strange. I'll test on another pfSense box.

@KOM I guess I can do a clean install, then if the config breaks it, just clean install again. Saves me a lot of work, if it works!

Yep. Although, even when swap exists, I advise to check now and then that the system isn't using it. If it does, add real memory, also called RAM. As soon as the swap gets used, your system (pfSense) will start to crawl. The memory on disk is thousands of times slower as RAM access.

That may have done the trick. I will keep monitoring. thanks.

@rsaanon said in pfsense with Spectrum Internet: @bmeeks That's a good thought, but I had done a couple of things to ensure that ISP was not coupling the MAC address of the PC to the connection where the ISP DHCP server will not serve out IP to a different MAC: I rebooted the modem and waited an hour to ensure that ISP DHCP lease is released back to the DHCP pool I spoofed the MAC address of my PC inside of the hypervisor/ESXi Based on the above two steps, I doubt that the issue is related to "learned" MAC address. Thoughts? Thanks! I agree if you spoofed the PC's MAC address and rebooted the cable modem, that should have addressed any "learned MAC" issues.

Thanks, this is what I meant

@atomicboy said in How to remove PFSense from Appliance: I was able to access the bios and set the USB port with the USB in it as the only option for boot up and not just the order of boot and this worked. Upon booting the USB, the program determined that there was not enough space on the hard drive so it provided an option for me to repartition the disk and I selected the entire disk which in effect erased PFSense. You found it

I think someone else had this same issue recently in that the graph reports double the actual bandwidth. Search the forums for traffic graph and see if it was resolved or is still outstanding.
