    Not with pfSense. Not if you actually want to be able to use both 4G links for a single connection.

    Understanding your wish for personal support...
    But as this is a forum, i think it helps everyone (well, at least more than one individual) when such stuff is posted for public, since many ppl might contribute knowledge and experience AND many can get some helpful input.

    @bmeeks

    When I had it setup before -- I was using the ORBI as my Router - DNS - DHCP...and Windows AD DS also seemed to be working in conjunction - but I would get strange outcomes from things there too.

    As I said, when using Windows AD, you really must use a Microsoft DNS server in order for all of the Active Directory things to work. Some bits and pieces might sort of work with a non-Microsoft DNS server, but some key parts will not work and lead to the strange outcomes you referenced.

    @stephenw10

    Yes, thanks for that, downloading the config file and examining it , I saw my old pwd described under "gold encryption password" as well my newly created one .
    Did another manual auto config backup , made a minor change to one of the comments on a VLAN then did a full restore to its previous state - all fine .
    I honestly had no appreciation before that literally everything is present in that config file - unhashed passwords, digital certificates etc, not a thing to leave lying around !

    It is working fine with squid now. The desired sites could be blocked.

    Thanks to all of you for your help and support.

    Have a nice lovely weekend.

    pfSense will only allow access from the WAN side by default if there is only one interfaces assigned. As soon as you assign two of more interfaces all connections to WAN are blocked by default and you need to add WAN firewall rules to allow them.

    @aysman
    The state table gives you information about active connections.
    Go to Diagnostics > States to view them. You can select a specific interface where the PCs are connected to and enter a filter expression, e.g. ":3389" for the default RDP port.

    If you also want to see the history add a pass rule to the respective for destination port 3389 or whatever and enable the logging.
    Then you can look for connections in Status > System Logs > Firewall.

    @sylvain said in Unknow Problem ... maybe Hardware Failure:

    panic: NMI indicates hardware failure

    A Non-maskable interrupt (NMI) is always a very heavy problem that is in almost all cases a hardware-problem.
    A reinstall of pfsense ... i doubt that that will be helpful.
    Maybe boot the machine with Memtest and see if there are any errors. (If it is possible)

    My 2 cents,

    Running a speedtest at each end if not using the same route as traffic between the sites so you may simply not be passing whichever hop is throttling you. If you can't see the speed with iperf though you will never see it in FTPS.

    @sabsan that is SSDP normally - yeah your going to see in logs.. But as that looks spammy as get out.. (looks like only 2 seconds).. I would look to that device to turn that spammy noise off. But if not setup a rule to not log that..

    To add it here: Customer has updated to a newer RC-snapshot as the earlier got him a few report emails of the box for getting packet loss sometimes (not that often) and he wanted to check if that would be fixed, too.
    On the latest RC snapshot thus far no problems to report. No crash dump, no freeze, no panic. Also the packet loss seems gone too :) So happy on both fronts for now - makes me happy to report that.

    Great job everyone involved. Shoutout to TAC support for their help and staying on the topic, too!

    Cheers

    If you don't have and traffic shaping in play I would check the link is correctly at 1G in each connection in the route. Though if something is linked at 100M that would affect both directions. An asymmetric route somewhere might allow that.

    It should definitely be possible to make this work with a double NAT type setup. Just make sure the subnets used don't conflict.
    The '192 range' contains a large number of /24 subnets. Make sure the pfSense LAN is using something different to the 5268AC LAN.
