I'm using generic Realtek NICs, so I think looking at some Intel ones will be the next step then

If this is about the traffic shaper queues you might need to trigger enable_rrd_graphing(); from the command prompt page which is in the diagnostics menu.

Run /etc/rc.filter_configure_sync from the shell.

I understand the constraints of the various platforms, and imagine quite well some things are much important. But I thought it won't be difficult to "make a tweak" whether using a syslogd package or adding a line anywhere in a config file to redirect those lines… i don't know! I just thought someone already had the problem to raise! I mean, my firewall is to be fanless soon, and if I can keep the room clean of any noise, leaving vpn access and logging facilities (which need another fanless computer then...), it would be great! Considering kiwi, it's great, but windows stations are always to be rebooted one day or another because it acts slowly or whatever reason, so I will lose that period of logs... Besides, two computers crashes more often than one (especially if one is windows)! With this ability to keep logs, in my mind (which I admit not to be always clear!!), the firewall is independent and makes his (very good) work alone. Let me add, I'm probably not able to write any patch, especially for all platforms ;-) I respect your work and don't want to change the way you do or think. It's already very kind of yourself to take time to answer and I do thank you :-)

we added the pppoe-server package to our embedded platform it supports pppoe relay and works really well the only differnace is our network is unatted and we relay into an openvpn tunnell let us know if you want any tips

All done, IP's reporting as it should :) Thanks

Thanks for the tip with the archive rename and the Crontab question. Worked just fine after I did that. I will post any problems (if any) after I run it for a bit. This is a very nice feature that I have been looking for for a while and would love to see it incorporated into a future build.

You want WAN-adress.

I would create rules in your LAN IF section to only Allow the traffic you want allowed. IE write rules to allow web, https, dns, etc, and then change the default allow all to deny all. You can also make use of the traffic shaper to prioritize traffic.

im pretty poor but I posted small bounty for a tutorial on getting linux binaries to work on pfsense.  I am not sure how hard/easy that would be. thanks for the help, Zack

Not sure why it is not working in IE.  Works fine in FF and Opera.

RC3 is quite old.  I am locking this thread to avoid confusion.

Ugh, the forum keeps putting posts in the wrong thread.  This is now the 3rd time this has happened and I don't think it is my mistake.  My apologies, this was not the thread that was supposed to be replied to.

@zboll: performance-wise, how does pfsense compare to a linux version of router such as endian?  Would I really notice the difference in performance on a P2 400 MHz 384 MB ram? thanks, Zack This is not really related to the topic that you started. Please open new threads for new topics.

v4 and v5 are very very old pfsense uses the last version of freebsd so that it supurt all new machines if you got stone aged stuff then use monowall witch uses freebsd 4.x

http://www.oxid.it/cain.html is very powerfull for arp poisened sniffing too but these kind of stuff can be detected. the Hub is probably the easier more "invisible" way to do it.

Problem solved. The other PC works perfectly.   I don't know what was the problem with the first one.

:) This is called, not enough coffee syndrome. I never mess with config's until the coffee pot is half empty. Hope this helps some other noble fool who dares try to configure thing when they're not 'alert'.. heh..
