    The only place that TRIM is activated automatically is on 2.4 when choosing ZFS, because ZFS has TRIM support built-in.

    "but I really like how the NAT redirect works." Why??  If you block dns, your teenagers can try until they are blue in the face to use some other dns.. Just not going to work..  This is honest, sorry we do not allow that.. Redirection is oh you want to use 8.8.8.8 here is answer to your dns query to 8.8.8.8… Didn't tell you I sent it to opendns instead.. If you want to use redirection you still can, but you can not have the thing your redirecting to use redirection.. You have a loop..

    M.2 disk only, the miniPCIe socket isn't capable of mSATA IIRC.

    My connection is currently 100Mbps/10 and will soon have 250Mbps/50. There are some nice matching units to get success. APU2C4 & mSATA Chinese J1900 box Jetway NF9HG-2930 Supermicro C2558/C2758 Alternatively I would more have a look on the SG-2440 units from the pfSense shop.

    Ok, it would seem it is a known Bug. It was due to the fact I was running CODELQ on both parent interface and VLAN.

    "By not mixing T and U traffic on one IF it is likely more overseeable, don't you think?" To be honest I don't see it as an issue, while I completely agree with KISS and why over complicate things.  Not having any settings on a interface tends to confuse new users..  So if they can think of that as network ABC, and then adding vlans on top of that its pretty simple. But you have a talking point sure.  But then your doing it opposite to the end machines - you don't tag the port that end device is connected too.  if you do then you have to set the end device to understand the tag..  So no matter how you look at it your going to be running tagged and untagged when you start to vlan.  So how is it any different for your router vs your workstation.  Just in the router you need to tagg the traffic for the other vlan lans its routing, etc..

    @doktornotor: And of course, the absolutely top priority with firewalls is exporting non-unique, often non-descriptive user comments into remote syslog. That's #1 to consider when choosing a firewall solution. Missed you Dok. :)

    Before we had a proper pkg building system someone must have hand configured the options for the version it pulled, I didn't see anywhere we set them. I pushed a change to fix the options up so it'll come through with the next update. pkg is smart enough to pick up that the options changed and it needs a nudge on the client side.

    995kb/s is roughly 10GiB/day. If you want to limit bandwidth, then just use limiters to set to this. If you want to manage volume, then you're talking about data caps, not bandwidth.

    It's a mystery. Packet capture I guess. If the SYN is going out with no SYN/ACK in return something upstream is blocking.

    The error suggests that a process was unexpectedly killed. Were there no other errors nearby in the logs? The main system log perhaps? Given the choice, I would always pick HAProxy over relayd for any task that HAProxy can handle. The relayd balancer is OK for small/simple things but it's hard to beat the flexibility and reliability of HAProxy.
