    Nice catch. Yes, exporting and manually removing that from the config should correct it.

    @cornerstonefound said in Guys, totally new, I need 3 ports to connect to different things from minipc how simplest way?: Do I set all this up in the pfsense GUI and so on? Yes. At the first boot after install you would assign the NICs to interfaces at the console. Then connect to the webgui on the LAN interface and configure the other interfaces. Steve

    You'll also be able to see the interface names at the console or by running ifconfig at the command line.

    @stephenw10 My ISP finally called me back this morning and said that it looks like the box outside is going bad. They are rolling a tech to replace it this morning. Will see what happens.

    @mcury The mistake I was making was to enter the username just as straight text, ie "pfsense". When I switched to "CN=pfSense,CN=Users,DC=lan,DC=company,DC=com" the bind authentication started working. The authentication appears to be working. Now on to making it secure. Thanks for posting the screen shot.

    Once created the LAGG appears as any other interface, you can assign it, you can create VLANs on it etc. You can then select the LAGG, or VLANs on it, to assign as existing interfaces and that way keep the existing subnet and firewall rules etc. Steve

    @Mikalatto Hi Mika, do you have a picture or model number of your equipment? Is your fiber terminating into this Nokia ONT and then going directly to the WiFi Hub? You may have a newer setup than I do so I might not be able to help. My connection is currently setup where the incoming fiber terminates into the Nokia G-240G-A ONT (same as in the Facebook link) and then from there it's ethernet to my pfSense box. There is no WiFi Hub necessary.

    If you reboot and then check the log when does that first appear? At what point in the log? Also check /tmp/php_errors.txt

    As shown in that thread you can edit /etc/skel/dot.tcshrc which is where that file is created from. However that still might be lost at a firmware upgrade. I created a feature request for this: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/14746 Steve

    For some weird reason, I though that L2 VPN was only used for remote access, not for peer to peer. I've successfuly migrated from Vxlan to Openvpn. Thanks for your help

    With the mitigations in place the C3558 will do 1Gbps, I tested that. So pretty much anything recent.

    @stephenw10 said in Windstream fiber -> Adtran 411 -> PfSense slow upload speed: The WAN flapping seems like a different issue to the upload speed throttling. I would try swapping the WAN and LAN NICs to see if it's something to one of them. Has the WAN always flapped like that? Apologies for the delay in response. The WAN has only ever flapped when I used the Asrock NUC BOX-1360P/D5 Intel 2.5 Gbps NICs to connect to my fiber ONT box. It did not work with the Aruba switch either. The WAN continued to flap up and down repeatedly and I was not getting the full upload speeds. I ended up replacing the Asrock NUC BOX-1360P/D5 PC with another PC with a PCIe express slot and put in an Intel X710-T2L card. I reran the connection speed test with the EdgeSwitch and finally got synchronous upload and download speeds of ~950 Mbps. Inspecting the PFSense interface logs, it no longer reported "In/out errors" when the test ran. In addition, the WAN flapping has stopped, and it's been online for more than 10 days. I also tried the Intel X710-T2L card with the new Aruba switch, and it is getting synchronous upload and download speeds of ~950 Mbps. Either my Asrock NUC BOX-1360P/D5 had a bad NIC, or something was going on, but I did not want to deal with the problems anymore. Thank you for the assistance and guidance you provided me as I tried to troubleshoot this problem @stephenw10
