Because nobody took the effort to convert to mpd5 and/or nobody has requested/supported for it to go to mpd5.

@tim29: Is there any way to do this with just two NICs? That would make this particular installation a lot easier. Yes, use a small VLAN capable switch as "port multiplier" for one of your pfSense NIC: one "trunk" port between the switch and pfSense, one switch port to each office. There has been a number of posts on VLANs in the last few weeks. A search of the forums for VLAN should turn up useful additional information.

The network map will help. http://www.pfsense.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=62&Itemid=73 Steve

@thewev: The 00:bd:4a:4c:00:00 MAC is for TAP0. I guess pfSense assigned it TAP0 when I created an old OVPN configuration. Is there such a thing like a "private MAC range" similar to the privat IP subnets? Where does pfSense pull the MAC from?

Actually i can't i've got only one isp link and no cp at use.. But here are smarter ones also

@Metu69salemi: mpls is done by operators, but still some other vpn over it would be nice something from wiki concerning mpls Thanks for the link.

Thanks a lot.  It seems that the reset RRD data method will get rid of all graphs and recreate the rrd files according to the latest interface/gw info.  If I accidentally deleted the wrong rrd file (ie interface still exists) via shell, it seems it won't auto recreate it on next refresh.

No problem. It has taken me a while to find my way around the menus and what the items mean.

It's a known issue. http://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/1572

I upgraded to the latest 2.0 snapshot and the problem is still there. After a reboot I still have to set my WAN interface to 'none', save and then reset it to PPPoE with the proper credentials. After that the PPPoE connection comes up immediately. Below an excerpt of my logfile: Jul 30 19:34:29    ppp: [wan_link0] Link: reconnection attempt 42 in 4 seconds Jul 30 19:34:29    ppp: [wan_link0] LCP: Down event Jul 30 19:34:29    ppp: [wan_link0] Link: DOWN event Jul 30 19:34:29    ppp: [wan_link0] can't remove hook mpd8424-0 from node "[11]:": No such file or directory Jul 30 19:34:29    ppp: [wan_link0] PPPoE: can't connect "[11]:"->"mpd8424-0" and "[f]:"->"left": No such file or directory Jul 30 19:34:29    ppp: [wan_link0] Link: reconnection attempt 41 I also compared the /cf/conf/config.xml from the appliance at my work and the appliance at home. They are running exactly the same version 2.0RC 3 Fri Jul 29 22:08:01 EDT 2011. The only differnce between the two installations is that the appliance at home is upgraded from 1.2.3 to 2.0 RC3 and the appliance at my work is a preinstalled 2.0 appliance updated to the latest 2.0 snapshot. config WAN interface / pppoe home: <wan><enable><if>pppoe0</if>       <blockpriv><blockbogons><spoofmac>00:00:c0:7a:bc:47</spoofmac>       <ipaddr>pppoe</ipaddr></blockbogons></blockpriv></enable></wan> <ppp><ptpid>0</ptpid>       <type>pppoe</type>       <if>pppoe0</if>       <ports>fxp1</ports>       <username>xxxxxx@yyyyyy</username>       <password>hdgvcfdr</password></ppp> config WAN interface / pppoe work: <wan><if>pppoe0</if>       <blockpriv><blockbogons><disableftpproxy><bandwidth>100</bandwidth>       <bandwidthtype>Mb</bandwidthtype>       <enable><spoofmac><ipaddr>pppoe</ipaddr></spoofmac></enable></disableftpproxy></blockbogons></blockpriv></wan> <ppp><ptpid>0</ptpid>       <type>pppoe</type>       <if>pppoe0</if>       <ports>vr1</ports>       <username>xxxxxx@yyyyyy</username>       <password>ksdfghkkldjsf</password>       <bandwidth></bandwidth></ppp> Looks like on my device at home I'm missing some fields in the wan and ppp part of the XML config file. Can this be the cause of the PPPoE problems? Erik

Typically when you change your ADSL modem from router to bridge mode you need to also change the corresponding pfSense interface from DHCP and enable pppoe on it: Interfaces -> (assign), click on PPP tab, add a PPP interface, go back to Interfaces -> (assign), add the ppp interface, assign it to WAN (or whatever) then add the username and password that had previously been configured in the ADSL modem for ppp. I don't know if that applies to your service.

Exactly, I expected that - just showing that its not pfsense not handling a torrent.

I'm going to install this on hyper threaded p4,4 gigs of ram, and an 80 gig sata is this enough horse power or do I need another box? The reason I ask is because it seems like most of the UTM firewalls such as Untangle or Astaro pretty much need core 2 duo to quad core systems and I'm sure some some are using I3, I5 or I7. I'm concerned about the hardware because as stated I have a 60 meg internet connection I don't want any slow downs. BTW rodymcamp what are you running on and what all services have you added to PFsense?

So you're saying if i did a non-transparent proxy, and set MSN (for example) to use the proxy, i can see on lightsquid MSN Audio/Video calls' bandwidth?

Thanks for the replies I will give this a go this weekend
