PFSense just has some awesome developers.  If you want to say thanks, donate to the project…it lets the people who do the real heavy lifting keep making pfsense even better.

What are you trying to say us?

my issue is rather different, I corrected it in config.xml but it still does not work (I can not apply any changes through web-interface). This box is located far away - so I was stupid doing that, I am screwed up now -(

So in a diagram:

internet
                ¦
                ¦
                ¦
            (WAN) - public IP
          modem
            (LAN) - 192.168.0.1
                ¦
                ¦
                ¦
            (WAN) - 192.168.0.2/24
          pfSense
            (LAN) - 172.16.0.1/24
                ¦
                ¦
            clients

You want to access the modem on 192.168.0.1.
You should just be able to type this IP in the webbrowser and it should work.

Sorry, I meant that I would run a capture from the system that's running Hobbit.

PS - Didn't realise that Hobbit is now Xymon - I'll look at the new version :)

Set up a syslog-server.

I wouldnt use PPTP because it's outdated and shouldnt be used in a new setup.
Try OpenVPN since it's really easy and there are already how-to's around.
Take a look at the OpenVPN subforum.

In this thread are some links on where to find what:

I observer what is posted in the first post with the embeded CF image.

Afterthat I gave up and installed from CD. It is working now. I hade a differenet issue now, and I have opened a topic in the hardware section.

Thank you all very much.

If I remember correctly from previously issue, SLBD can randomly run wild. After a reboot it could run normal for weeks.
As 1.2.1 is to be released i would recommend a upgrade.

@GruensFroeschli:

If you get an IP per DHCP your client will have the same DNS suffix.
Usually if you try to ping just the first part withing the same "subdomain" it will work.

ie: psymia.mine.nu is my domain.
a server is called whitemage –> whitemage.psymia.mine.nu
a client is called redmage --> redmage.psymia.mine.nu
Now if i ping on redmage "whitemage" it will work.

Alternatively you could enter your own names in the DNS-forwarder.

Ah ok, thanks, before it wasn't working by only hostname but now it works.

Now im off to learn about all these different VPN terms so I can try to setup a VPN next!  :o

Hi,

no unfortunately the switch isn't capable of this function. But I did read the thread about ntop and tried it but was unsuccessful almost every time.  :(
I keep getting the same error over and over again about local package cache. I'll have to try and setup another pfsense machine just so that I can try and test until I get it working. I just thought that there was a way to do this without having to hack my way thought it.  :)
I'll try again and post back in that thread if I still don't have any luck but any advice is still welcome. :)

Bye

Hello!!

You can try monitoring traffic via SNMP, running PRTG or MRTG apps on a separate server and definig there sensors that point to your pfsense server. Of course you have to enable SNMP in pfsense.

Regards.

Did you disable NAT?
