I'm glad its all good.

I know in the past Comcast has insisted on unplugging the modem for a minute a half before turning it back on.  And if you still have one of those old cable modems and VOIP services built into the same modem, they had battery backups in the modem for the VOIP services so you couldn't just pull the power.  PITA. Now they're injecting javascript ads into their citywide WiFi off of paying customers with their opt-out program.  And you wonder why people hate Comcast.

@pfsense_noob: I've got the PC set to a static IP quite high up in the available range (obviously outside the DHCP range for pfSense), so I'd be surprised if that's the case. I'll double double check though. Thanks for the reply! Hey, I went through it once more on both routers - the BT Home Hub appears to want to be in control, even when you have disabled firewall, DHCP and set its gateway to pfSense's - the wifi worked, but the wired connections routed to the homehub, which they obviously shouldn't. With the netgear router, after a factory reset and a second try, it appeared to work. Can I ask where would be best to check on the pfSense side of things?

So 10.2.2.3 is your GS5? What options did you use to capture that? Steve

Anyone don't have any idea about this post?

Hi BBcan177 Thanks for the link. It looks really useful. Regards Charlie101.

I deal with proxy all the time, and for a couple of years that is all I did support a global user base web content filtering, 15k plus users - and I can tell you proxies break shit ;) hehehe

Hello again, I tried my best and the solution qua replacement-script of the files that are renewed at every boot seems to work. I placed the script into /usr/local/etc/rc.c. It looks like that: #!/bin/sh kill -9 $(cat /var/run/syslog.pid) cp /root/Skripte/syslog.conf_ersatz /etc/syslog.conf /usr/sbin/syslogd -s -c -c -l /var/dhcpd/var/run/log -f /var/etc/syslog.conf kill -9 $(cat /var/run/cron.pid) cp /root/Skripte/crontab_ersatz /etc/crontab /usr/sbin/cron -s Best wishes Michael

That's the minimum version requirement. Whilst I haven't actually tried it yet in 2.1.5 I would expect it to install and run without issue. Edit: works fine with Android iperf client. Steve

Thanks for the suggestions. At the end, even if I liked the idea of the online syslog service, the lack of encryption dissuaded me. Maye in the future it would be nice to have rsyslog with TLS support in pfSense. I opted for a bit of an unorthodox solution. I had my old Nexus S phone just sitting in a drawer so I tried installing the Server Unlimited Pro app on it, set up a syslog server and smb share, power it with a usb cable from the Alix box and it worked. Now I have a very small power efficient syslog server that I can access from my Windows clients :)

@KOM, thanks it worked.

After having some problems with my install, I just did a complete wipe and fresh install of pfsense. I went to grab DansGuardian, and low and behold, it has been updated already - somebody beat me to the punch!

Thanks Steeve.

Ok empty fields in the cron job are not allowed.  ???  So the above example would only fire on Wed. @ 20:30 even though it has an * in the "mday" field. I haven't come across any information that states which fields take precedence. :o

It is a font issue, see: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=81073.15
