    @patch Problem Solved. It was a problem with my MacBook. I created a new profile on my MacBook and that one works fine. So there is issue with the network setup on my other profile. Anyway, Thank you so much for everyones help and advice. It has only strengthened my feelings about PFSense being a good choice.

    Hmm, well that's good news, it implies the TB 10G adapter is not the cause so probably can be made to work. Unless you have some traffic shaping set in pfSense it's hard to see what might cause that. Something in Windows guess though I'm not sure what. Steve

    @jt40 said in Sky modem replacement - MK2 socket: this is one of the suggested as replacement which supports Sky MER: TP-Link AC2100 - Archer VR2100 That's also a router (with a built in modem) not a modem. An actual modem is something like the Draytek V130 or Huawei HG612. I am in the UK but, alas, not yet in a FTTH area. If you upgrade to FTTH you still need a modem of sorts. The connection is provided via GPON so you get an ONT box that converts that to Ethernet you can plug pfSense into. Steve

    @gertjan I suspected that, then it's probably easier to "browse" it with a backend browser - get the data needed and present it again - at the "other" server.

    It's the ntopng that became a troublemaker. I'm worry free now after turning off ntopng! I will figure out how to wipe this ntopng and install a fresh one. I looked at the crontab and nothing looked suspicious. Thanks you all for all the directions.

    @dnwigley did you setup the switch to route between different networks you put these devices on? Did you setup any sort of multicast filtering? If you put the devices on the same L2 network.. Most switches wouldn't be do any filtering either. I think your going down some rabbit hole trying to blame it on something filtering something. If you discovered the other nas - and get presented to auth.. This pretty much shows your talking to it.. And highly unlikely your fitering some aspect of the auth process at your switch. You mention access to the DSM interface - how exactly are your trying to access that.. You should be able to access the dsm on port 5001.. Are you using some name that resolves to public IP vs your local one?

    When you connected the PC directly to Eth1 did it show the expected link speed/duplex? 40Mbps is sufficiently slow to point to a link issue. Steve

    @hulleyrob Or maybe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RRD_Editor Btw : I never had the need myself, or, by memory, didn't saw some one mentioning on the forum, actually modifying them, to retrieve history data. Also; I back up most of the RRD history data : https://www dot test-domaine dot fr/munin/brit-hotel-fumel dot net/pfsense.brit-hotel-fumel dot net/index.html

    @Patch @stephenw10 Thanks for your help! Replacing the switch fixed the issue! I factory reset the TP Link managed switch and it's working now too. It's sometimes the simple stuff you over look on the troubleshooting path that trip you up. I could not determine any reason why the TP Link managed switch was preventing the Proxmox GUI from coming up. I checked everything before I reset it. Thanks again!

    Hmm, I don't think I've ever tried to do that! You're right it doesn't ask if you want to enable https after setting the interface IP. I wouldn't call that a bug though, an oversight maybe but that's the intended operation. You can always set it in the config file if you really need to enable it before you have access to the webgui. You can open a feature request: https://redmine.pfsense.org/ Steve

    @jhonthan said in DDNS doesn't work on version 2.5.2: DDNS doesn't work on version 2.5.2 Anyone saw this problem? No, DDNS works fine.

    @aglarond You will find many a post by me going over transit networks ;) have to explain it like every other day it seems ;) Users are always trying to use their normal lan as transit and then wonder why they run into asymmetrical issues. Here is a good drawing that explains what has to be down with a downstream router. [image: 1639335337947-pfsense-layer-3-switch.png]

    It depends what the fibre is. It's probably GPON? In which case your options are limited.
