    pfSense works great for the home, too. :-) The main different is the target hardware. <x>WRT/Tomato and friends are meant to run on APs and tiny embedded platforms that don't have much in the specs department (low storage, low ram, small ARM or similar CPU). pfSense runs on x86/x64 hardware and has a lot more features because the hardware is a lot more capable. That said, you can do plenty with WRT for the home, and some small businesses, and pfSense can do the same and more. It's really a question of what hardware you have available and what your needs are. At home I use both, pfSense as my edge router, doing multi-wan, VPNs, etc, and I use Tomato on my WAP.</x>

    That would usually be a limitation of your BIOS. Check with the manufacturer and see if there is an update available.

    It means no new connections will be allowed. You'll need to increase under System>Advanced if that's the case. Can check how much you're using historically in RRD graphs

    See this post for a good explanation. Steve Edit: Interesting that your value for max mbuf clusters is 0. Hmmm.

    Sounds like the first thing I should do is upgrade to 2.0 as it also includes some other features I like the look of.  I could then have the SPA3000 on its own interface and Untangle on its own. Reasons for this config: In the past I've found pfSense to be the best I could get in terms of QOS for VOIP when downloading via torrents and the like. Other QOS works okay but to my mind really struggles with the high jitter that torrent downloading seems to cause. With 3 kids I wanted something that would filter websites. We're actually Untangle partners so have a full license for all their products. So makes more sense to use their web filter than pay extra for Net Nanny or something like that.  I also really like their version of OpenVPN and the absolute ease of installing clients. (I believe this is now also the case with pfSense v2 but haven't tested).  I also use the Anti-virus on Untangle. So I've been running Untangle with high success, but finding my VOIP is suffering. I'm not sure if this is the dodgy RIM my Internet hangs off or not, but I do know that Untangle suffers when I'm downloading via uTorrent.

    Yeah if it's going to stay broken it should probably be disabled.

    2.0 (RC3 now) should be just fine for the vast majority of people to use in production. There are still a few open issues, but less every day, and many of those are things that only affect a small number of people.

    Why is it just for this topology? Clients connecting via the WAN interface show up with their normal IP.

    1. Update to a current snapshot, not RC1 2. ntop works fine, you just have to select the interface (Diagnostics > ntop settings) and save the settings before it will work the first time. Also it runs on tcp port 3000 not the same port as the webgui so you may need to adjust your firewall rules to see it if you're coming in remotely.

    Well it's a matter of matching your hardware with your bandwith requirements. There is a page documenting this here though it's a bit dated now. Adding virus scanning will increase the hardware requirement considerably. I don't have any figures for you unfortunately.  :( Steve

    Hi, I've the same problem too. the only difference is that LAN is bridged network in order to allow wi-fi connections. In my case if i go through WLAN then i can reach the samba server in dmz but i'm unable from eth0. no rules in the WLAN/ETH interfaces. in wireshark i can see dmz traffic in reply to lan requests but service always ask for a password. samba server has its own dns server, no dhcp. no problem trough openvpn too. I'm able to connect on the same server via ssh, vnc, http… pfsense ver is the yesterday's build. thank you for the help.
