    A week after this problem appeared, it seems to be gone, at least for now.  Traceroutes reveal that the first hop ping is back down near the 9ms range.  I haven't changed any settings or stopped any services for a few days, so I'm not sure what caused this, or how long it will stay this way.

    Everything you need to set up multi-wan is in the document linked by the second poster in that thread.  If you want to pay someone to set this up for you, then you should consider posting a bounty for it in the bounties forum.  Alternatively, you can buy the pfSense book, which is an excellent resource and has a detailed section on configuring multi-wan.

    If you're referring to HTTP/FTP then look at Squid. Otherwise please provide details as to what you're talking about.

    FYI- Static ARP is broken on 1.2.3. It does not get applied at boot time.

    Add another interface to pfSense and connect the ISDN router to it. Use pfSense to resolve your routing problems by static routes and the use of Squid for web browsing.

    Usually mpd is very verbose in the system logs about PPPoE connects and disconnects.

    pfSense supports VLANs natively, you have to create them under Interfaces->(assign)->VLANs and then you create a new interface using Interfaces->(assign)->Interface assignment and select the VLAN you created as "NIC" for the Interface. Then you save and configure that new interface from the Interfaces menu with an IP address as needed. At that point, you go to the firewall rules, click the tab for that interface, and add rules to allow traffic. pfSense handles the routing automatically. Keep in mind that pfSense always filters traffic by applying rules to traffic coming "in" the interface the rule is for. So interface VLAN10 for example would have rules that applied (allowed or blocked) traffic whose source was the VLAN10 interface. By default, interfaces on pfSense allow NO traffic so you will need to add allow rules as necessary to allow inter-VLAN routing and access to the Internet. Floating rules and Interface Groups (which hold a set of interfaces that you can create rules for all at once) may help reduce the number of rules you need for a large number of VLANs. You'll need to set up the VLANs on the switches of course to be tagged correctly so they all reach pfSense and are tagged on the port that plugs into the pfSense interface where you create the VLANs. Alternately you could do your routing in a Layer 3 switch, or with an open-source routing platform like Vyatta, or using a Microtik Routerboard device, and have pfSense just firewall the route from the router to the Internet connection(s).

    Well, it doesn't have to be SSH…I haven't used the commercial support (I wish!) so I'm not sure how that plugin does the backups but something similar for third party/self-hosted servers would be nice. But I know that's one of the benefits of commercial support. Technically you could limit ssh permissions so the user could only write and not read, so it could be secure without a password...anyway :-) I'd write the widget if I knew what I was doing, but it would probably take me a few hours to figure it out, as I'm not really familiar with the pfSense codebase or interface, though I have a lot of Perl and some PHP (picked up easily enough due to Perl) experience in the past (not recently though).
