my Hardware is about an Intel III with 350 MHz and 368MB MB RAM installed on a CF card with 256 MB 50% space left. 10 MB swap wich was never ever used by pfsense.
Found strange behaviour.
After reboot, PPTP didn't work, even log file didn't show nothing strange. I got internal IP, but unable to ping to/from LAN/WAN.
After this made a connection via IPSec, everything working fine. ping from LAN to WAN and WAN to LAN works like a charm. Disconected IPSec, now even PPTP is working :).
Cool, thanks for the info. If we decide to write up a script to save the logs, I'll certainly share it, although I have a feeling we'll probably resort to sending logs to a syslog server.
Yeah most places are going to allow IPsec out, but you can run OpenVPN on any port you wish. By default it's 1194. It's UDP though, so running it on like port 80 may not be helpful if the network only allows TCP 80. But you can run it on UDP 500 if you want, then it should definitely work on any network that allows IPsec.
Just configure services>DynDNS. it will check for an IP change un reconnection and update the account if there has been a change (given that the pfSense WAN is your real WAN and not natted behind another router).
