That is, for us. For you it would have been solved after you know how it set up 'Squid'.

@stephenw10 Yep, got a few ideas I'm exploring now, thanks for the assist however. I did read an article about using Squid on pfSense to get data that was decryptable in wireshark, but for the life of me know can I heck as like find it. :-)

Yeah, it will always be running in 21.05.2. You can apply the linked patch above to stop it running by default. However your free ram never gets close to 0 so that's probably not the cause here. Steve

I'm confused. Did you try installing pfSense bare metal (no hypervisor) on any hardware?

Was going to say pretty much the same thing - but Bill did it way better ;)

@stephenw10 Thanks sir, I will do that, but first I wanted to try a few more things to gather and capture data for reference, i.e. like trying the WAN>server (or something that will work since I don't have my own server setup) LAN>client iperf3 test (like in the video and the discussion post @johnpoz referenced.

It is possible to do that but using a type 2 hypervisor like hyper-v is not ideal because it relies on the host OS for it's own security. A small portable router would be better IMO but pfSense would really only fit that role for wired access. If you need to use it as a wifi client you would probably be better served by, for example, OpenWRT. Steve

@stephenw10 @Gertjan Successful restore from backup! Thanks, again, for your help.

@johnpoz said in pfSense and meraki z3: never understand why users do this. Not saying there might not be need to do such a thing. But seems most of the time its users following some "vpn" guide that says to do that - when there really is no r You are absolutely right, and that exacly what I did. I do not truly understand (hybrid) NAT or maybe most of the buttons I push in Pfsense, but I basically googled: "meraki x3 pfsense connection" and look what random people on the internet say :). I found the vendor documentation not very user friendly - then again my company does not want to deal with individual engineer that has some fancy Pfsense router. They;ll tell me to hook it up directly to my cable modem - and not use personal devices when working. If you have a suggestion, I would not mind trying a simpler better way.

@mcarson75 said in Unable to apply patch: I will flog myself accordingly. As well you should - hahahaha ;)

@lelefront What option do you have set as automatic? I'm not seeing that

Do you see the VPN connect? Do you see blocked traffic on the port the VPN is using? If that server is on LAN all traffic from it would be allowed out by default, including a VPN. If it's blocked it's because of some rules that have been added (or removed). Steve

Hm so it looks like none of the client isolation settings can be enabled when it is in AP mode. But I'll keep an eye on the AP if it happens again.

@stephenw10 said in Slow routing speeds: @hngaminguk said in Slow routing speeds: Only annoyance being that the 2100 states a max of 881Mbps for Firewall (10k ACLs) I am not well versed into knowing how many ACLs I am using but I assume my setup currently has less? So I could likely hit 1Gbps? No, using fewer firewall rules will not allow it to hit 1Gbps between two subnets. Enabling pf to set any number of rules will introduce that overhead. Steve Okay thanks for the confirmation, in that case I will have to go for a 3rd party option such as https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Intel-Atom-E3845-4-LAN-3G-4G-4G-RAM-64G-SSD-Fanless-pfSense-Firewall-AES-NI-/114644549859?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

This would be just one tool of many. True, a smart hacker may try to distribute the transfer over time/destinations. Some aren't that diligent.

@stephenw10 I needed to add server into the nsCertType and serverAuth into extendedKeyUsage in the x509 extensions but need to add the x509 extensions as a command line arg to openssl, adding them into the config file dosent seem to work. Have to create it this way: openssl x509 -CAcreateserial -req -days 7300 -in $cert_dir/$cert_name.csr -CA $cert_dir/id_rsa.crt -CAkey $cert_dir/id_rsa -passin pass:$ca_pwd -sha256 -extfile <(printf "$extFile") -out $cert_dir/$cert_name.crt the -extfile get the contests of the x509 stuff.

@stephenw10 That got it - many thanks Stephen.

Ah, nice catch. Yeah I'm always suspicious with one bad port on a NIC. If it's physically damaged you're probably OK but if it took an electrical surge is the other port going to fail.... Steve
