let me get this straight , B and C are you internet connections ? or what ?  ??? I can`t fully understand what are you trying to do …

@TreeTopFlyer: 32 bit OS's can only address a maximum of 4 gigs of memory. This is a common misconception. The way virtual memory works means it's quite logical and feasible to address a far larger memory area than the processor's native address space. You can get up to 64GB of RAM on most Intel CPUs since Pentium Pro. But I agree with the rest, I hardly see the point for pfSense. Pull the RAM and use it somewhere it'll do you go, or just pull it period and save a little bit of power.

You have to learn config.xml syntax.

1. I think it is important whether remote phone is behind firewall or not. 2. tcpdump would help definitely.

Thank you very much, I understand. I use pfSense only like a content web proxy, firewall is not necessary (there is other firewall unit in the network) I will think about.

May I ask…have you double check on the Gateway IP. I used to have similar issues when I overlooked the gateway IP.

It sounds like the rogers modem needs to be configured slightly different. There be some conflicts with the modem lan and pfs wan setup. I'm gonna blame the modem. if you can log into the modem remember you just want it to talk to the internet for you and thats all. I know the newer rogers modems have a config page you can get to and tweak. I have rogers too just not the wireless. I planing to switch back to DSL b/c it run the same 10mbps/80kbps as cable. (Look into Primus if you do want switch)

Take a look at the Snort package.

The regex and related code I used for parsing the filter log should be in /usr/local/www/includes/log.inc.php, in the function parse_filter_line($line). That code is in version 1.2.3-RC(1, 2, or 3) or on earlier versions can be obtained by installing the Dashboard package.

A VPN simply gives you the ability to link in to a network from another network.  Nothing else changes - if they can do it on the work network then there is a way to do it with VPNs. Your first choice is the nature of the VPN - IPsec, PPTP or OpenVPN.  Which you choose will depend on the operating system(s) the client(s) use.  Your simplest option, in terms of client behaviour, is to use a bridged VPN so that the clients appear to be on the internal network.

You could be running out of states but you would have to go some to use them all up that quick. This "Internet Download Manager tool" wouldn't happen to be torrent related would it?

Yes install Squid and route all traffic through proxy…

Agreed.  Does any else have experience here with CALEA?  I believe I am compliant as I can give any LEA (law enforcement agency) remote access to a live feed anytime, but I am still learning a little on this front.

You'd need to add the progsreiserfs package, and realise that support for ReiserFS in FreeBSD isn't as solid as for Linux, so you may run into problems or corrupted file systems.

I've played with gmirror on pfSense before. Gjournal is a bit more complex, but with a bit of work you might be able to get a full install journaled. It might be as easy as copying a few files from a full install and configuring. Or it might not be, I haven't tried it.

@gravyface: Thanks for clearing that up.  So basically there's no tagging going on prior to hitting the VLAN'ed port on the pfSense, so it treats everything as untagged. If you configure a pfSense network interface as a VLAN interface pfSense will probably expect to see VLAN tags in incoming frames and will put VLAN tags in outgoing frames. Based on the preceding discussion, it seemed external constraints prevented you using VLANs so its just confusing when you now talk about VLAN'ed ports on the pfSense box. Have those constraints changed?  Why would you make the pfSense port a VLAN'ed port?
