can you please explain to me? :)

Thank you for reviewing the crash report. All of the schedulers in my traffic shaper are set to CBQ and none of them have the "CoDel active queue" setting enabled. How do I determine if CoDel is being used and how do I disable it if it is?

At the moment I'm using an old ThinkPad laptop with the addition of a USB ethernet NIC which only supports 100Mb, the onboard Intel NIC does 1GB, so there is obviously  a bottle neck. I've been looking for a 1GB USB NIC which FreeBSD supports but have been unable to locate one. I do have both USB and PCMCIA 1Gb NICs but can't find drivers for them… Incidentally, is there any way to measure performance of my pfSense box?

NVM, I found out how: Diagnostics > Edit File > /conf/config.xml > Delete everything between tags.

I thought you were asking if the info in the traffic graph is correct. It is. If that wasn't the question, I don't know what you're asking. To answer your original question, the tool that shows the IPs and their throughput is 'rate'.

There is no _2. https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=113435.msg630835#msg630835 If you messed around with it while things were being changed around earlier, run 'pkg update -f', and upgrade back to 2.3.1_1 if you're on 2.3.1 now.

I tried the manual method, watching what the code/player was doing.  It looks like Vimeo was sending them in pieces (a new piece every 5-10 seconds).  Wether this was to try & prevent copying, for managing live, variable quality/resolution streaming, who knows (anyone?) I found a decent plugin for Chrome (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/download-vimeo-videos-pre/phpaiffimemgakmakpcehgbophkbllkf) and just gave up on trying to do it myself.  The quality seems excellent.  This plug-in is free for a day, then a subscription model.  I grabbed the rest of the hangouts I didn't have and called it a day.

I decided to do the old Windows trick - switch it off and switch it back on (reboot actually)  and lo and behold it started working again…. At least I'll know what to do if it happens again.

4 per minute is nothing. I was getting several per second before I turned off logging on the default block rule. With my 100Mb connection, I could scan the entire Internet in about 1.5 hours. During that scan I will have hit you at least once. Over the period of the day, I will have hit you almost 16 times. That's one computer. There are hundreds and thousands of compromised computers constantly scanning. If it was showing 5-10 per day, then it wasn't showing you everything.

started working, weird. Maybe it was the browser cache. What made me look is I got traffic from China and I set to top 20.

IIRC it was a limit of OpenSSL or the PHP OpenSSL module. They were rejected and wouldn't properly create a certificate. Might be worth a re-test. Supposedly certificates can contain those now but they have to be utf8.

Ok thanks I'll give it a shot, my motherboard had to be RMA'd so won't be able to try it for a week!

Yes I am. Thanks.

Ahhh fine. Answer my own forum :) See the setting below. Using Firewall Aliases & firewall Rules Firewall Aliases & Firewall Rules -  Firewall Aliases -  IP > Add -           Properties                   Name = (Aliases Name)                   Description =                   Type = Host(s) Host(s)                   IP or FQDN = (Domain IP Address)                   Description= - Firewall Rules     - Lan > Add                 (Leave everything else as normal except Destination)                 Destination =                                     (Single host or Aliases)  /  (Aliases name) - Advanced Options - Gateway  ( Chose WAN interface) Click save

Has anyone actually done this before and can provide an example of a rule addition from the developer shell?
