I guess that pfSense's WebGUI is quite simple ;) For complex tasks (like alert) you may have some hooks inside pfSense shell ;) I almost gave up when I did't know how to do regulary remote-backup for pfsense . Finally i wrote some scripts, some daemons and everything is ok now ;) Let's hack pfSense :) NB: pfSense doesn't have anti-virus support.

Hrmm, I installed BandwidthD so i'll see if that does what I need it to do.

Hi snort/untangle will help you. cheers,

What device is handling the T1 connection? pfSense isnt able to terminate the T1 connection. But there are no problems for pfSense to handle multiple WANs. http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,7001.0.html

Here's how I did it: ########################################################################################## follow the guide on how to set up a build environment for pfsense (on the wiki) but before you do a ./cvsup_current, you need to modify the pfsense.6 kernel config file to enable linux compatability in the kernel. pfSense.6 is in tools/builder_scripts/conf. add an options line for COMPAT_LINUX and while you are at it, add any other stuff you want like NETSMB, SMBFS etc go ahead with the cvsup_current step now and the freesbie scripts will build you your pfSense kernel with compat support. You still need to add the linux libraries to pfsense. For this, you have to go to /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-fc4 and do a make install, then move the /compat folder that is created into your pfSense file system for inclusion on the CD Hope that helps, Craig ##########################################################################################

Qwest DSL supports PPPoE at most, if not all locations. So you should try using that.

This conversation has been had already in the forums, please use the search function.

After 3 days of messing around with various ways to work around the problem of pfSense not being able to work with a PPPoA QWest ADSL line I hunted down the tech support for DrayTek in the US and talked to the guy about the Vigor 110. It really sounds like the right device. It is an ADSL modem and PPPoE/PPPoA bridge. It lets the ethernet device (my pfSense WAN interface in this case) pass authentication information to it in PPPoE and it re-encapsulates the information in PPPoA and sends it up to the DSLAM. From then on the ethernet device is directly bridged to the ADSL line and gets the public IP address by DHCP. The problem now is that the one place I found in the U.S. that sells them wants a minimum order of 1000 pieces. About 999 more than I have a need for right now. Has anyone found a U.S. source for these? Thanks, Bill

@nocer: You're missing what version your running so I checked on my 1.3-AA, but it seems that those are not exist anymore…I only found below. sysctl net.inet.ip.fw.curr_dyn_buckets=256 sysctl: unknown oid 'net.inet.ip.fw.curr_dyn_buckets' sysctl net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_buckets=2048 sysctl: unknown oid 'net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_buckets' sysctl -a|grep bucket net.inet.tcp.hostcache.bucketlimit: 30 net.inet.tcp.syncache.bucketlimit: 30 Are those still exist in 1.2* ? Then how about to put those into /boot/loader.conf, or very end of /etc/rc ?? cheers, Thanks for your help , my pfsense version is 1.2.1 rc3. If you want to see sysctl net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_buckets , you need use the captive portal feature. I cannot active the change of value by(set in shell, /boot/loader.conf /etc/rc)

Ok,  so I reconfigured the network so that the test PC is connected DIRECTLY to the LAN port on the firewall.  When I turn off "Enable filtering bridge" everything works.  At this point my assumption is simply that I have not configured my rules correctly. Is there any guide for basic rules and how to set them up?  To start with, how can I make basic rules for everything OPEN?

Changing the ports from 6970/udp - 9999/udp did the trick…. dont ask me why.... ??? it may be an issue with Nokias Realplayer...
