Thanks for the clarification John.  Yeah if using the PVID to direct native (untagged) traffic to a VLAN it could be though of as either a native LAN or VLAN depending on the context.  Such as troubleshooting, etc.

I am just curious on if any of you have used the 10Gb sfp+ on a PFS box? For sure it might be going well but it is mostly more a problem what the most peoples will thinking what they must be getting out of that connections! In usual you will be getting out under real life conditions 2 GBit/s - 4 GBit/s real throughput from a 10 GBit/s uplink. Have you used it on a 10gb circuit? 10 GbE uplink to the DMZ switch and to the LAN switch. Were you able to take full advantage of the circuit? From the pfSense to the DMZ switch (Layer2+) and from the pfSense to the LAN switch (Layer3) it will be all will be running more smooth and liquid. What type of hardware did you use for the PFS Box? Intel Xeon E3 >3.0GHz Single Intel Xeon E5 >3.0GHz Dual Intel Xeon E5 >3.0GHz Intel single or dual Port SFP+ adapters HotLava (Intel based) multiport NICs Supermicro Boards & one Gigabyte board.

The Supermicro A2SAV-L board might be nice looking, but in the right case from Supermicro sold as a barebone it is available for ~$779 and then I would more have a look to the SG-4860 unit from the pfSense store for $699 plus a 64 GB mSATA!

Hi. Maybe help you https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/VoIP_Configuration https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=108318.0 Regards.

@johnpoz: Yeah PPPOE not going to show you any sort of speed. Actually as I understand ppp speed can be limited and shown according to freebsd documentation for modems, but there is nothing that can be used as speed value for linked ethernet-virtual interfaces, may be only linked physical interface speed. Anyway this is just cosmetics and nothing else.

Or if you want to block youtube for everyone completely  go to opendns create a account block streaming categories chats then go to pfsense and change the dns server to point to open dns.  Regards friend

@virgiliomi: @W4RH34D: Sounds awesome.  If they could only act as access points too! If you use Android-based devices, you can install the Sonos app on them and there's an advanced setting to allow Android devices to connect to the SonosNet mesh network as well. They'll only be devices on the network though, not full mesh nodes like the Sonos devices are. Don't expect super performance out of it though… streaming video while connected probably won't go too well. Right, it would be for business stuff.

which was why I was hoping to configure pfsense to route all netflix traffic to WAN instead of the VPN Sorry, your explanation was a little vague and I thought you were trying to avoid being blocked when using foreign Netflix instead of local.  You would normally use policy routing via firewall rules to determine which WAN your traffic goes out.  You could have a rule on LAN such that all traffic from your TV's IP address is routed out the WAN gateway.  How do you currently have your config so that everything is going out the VPN?

Well, kill the process. In System - Update - Update Settings, tick the Disable the automatic dashboard auto-update check checkbox and save. Stop browsing the package manager if your computer cannot handle it. There is already a bug open about the nonsensical perpetual package manager updates. https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/6782

In your Firewall log, do not click the button shown with the red arrow or it will allow this IP and port on the interface it appeared. [image: EasyRule.png] [image: EasyRule.png_thumb]

The fact that it also happens when strictly on LAN is telling.  Take pfSense out of the mix and connect directly.  Does the problem still happen?

Based on my own experiences I wouldn't use mount_smbfs on pfSense, it's a stability hazard at best that you don't want to have on a security critical system.

it was the firewall. I opened up 7445 on the LAN and now I am in.

@BBcan177: See the following: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=102470.msg671811#msg671811 That seems to have fixed it. Thanks!

@Derelict: Or MoCA. I know mocca, but MoCA? "Mist over Canada" or "MoCA Montreal - Cognitive Assessment"? Probably not. Wait, got it: Multimedia over Coax Alliance - Wikipedia  ;)

@Derelict: It has been time to upgrade off realtek for years. I am also curious about this as i just purchased a zotac ci232nano (realtek NICs) and have the dropping NIC issues with 2.3.2 P1. Should i downgrade? Or even bother if pfsense will not fix the compatibility issues in newer revisions? I don't want to be stuck on an old build forever.

no I didn’t touch the buttons on any of the deals. thank you so much now I have internet through my wireless side that is what I need so I can hook up a couple more Access Points thank you so very much for your hard work and time. and thank you for the fast response to all my questions at least you care about helping to get others up and running. A lot of these sites take for ever or never answer at all. I will always put a good word in for you your Friend Ron Frazier AKA Wildmanron

Go ahead and thread jack, I don't mind. I'm going to install and learn this app so the knowledge is helpful…
