    Assuming it's an IPSec VPN then that's the way to work around it. https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/vpn/ipsec/access-firewall-over-ipsec.html#static-route-workaround And, yes , in pfSense you should never be manually editing a conf file like that. Steve

    No, there's no way to change the default sort order as far as I know. Yeah, I was asking for a screenshot because I couldn't replicate what you were seeing. I don't actually think they are sorted by IP address. They just appear to be to you because you only have static leases configured. When you apply a sort order it's shown above the column and that is not that case in the default view. Steve

    First learn how to port code to FreeBSD. Then port that Linux code to FreeBSD. Once it builds for FreeBSD try running it in pfSense. It may be easier to write a FreeBSD module from scratch. As far as I know there is no FreeBSD implementation so nothing we can add in pfSense currently. What exactly do you want to use this for? You realise that TCP congestion control is only applied at the end points of the TCP session? That means almost no traffic through pfSense is subject to it. It's the reason we don't include other CC modules by default. Steve

That is, for us. For you it would have been solved after you know how it set up 'Squid'.

    @stephenw10 Yep, got a few ideas I'm exploring now, thanks for the assist however. I did read an article about using Squid on pfSense to get data that was decryptable in wireshark, but for the life of me know can I heck as like find it. :-)

    Yeah, it will always be running in 21.05.2. You can apply the linked patch above to stop it running by default. However your free ram never gets close to 0 so that's probably not the cause here. Steve

    I'm confused. Did you try installing pfSense bare metal (no hypervisor) on any hardware?

    @stephenw10 Thanks sir, I will do that, but first I wanted to try a few more things to gather and capture data for reference, i.e. like trying the WAN>server (or something that will work since I don't have my own server setup) LAN>client iperf3 test (like in the video and the discussion post @johnpoz referenced.

    It is possible to do that but using a type 2 hypervisor like hyper-v is not ideal because it relies on the host OS for it's own security. A small portable router would be better IMO but pfSense would really only fit that role for wired access. If you need to use it as a wifi client you would probably be better served by, for example, OpenWRT. Steve

    @johnpoz said in pfSense and meraki z3: never understand why users do this. Not saying there might not be need to do such a thing. But seems most of the time its users following some "vpn" guide that says to do that - when there really is no r You are absolutely right, and that exacly what I did. I do not truly understand (hybrid) NAT or maybe most of the buttons I push in Pfsense, but I basically googled: "meraki x3 pfsense connection" and look what random people on the internet say :). I found the vendor documentation not very user friendly - then again my company does not want to deal with individual engineer that has some fancy Pfsense router. They;ll tell me to hook it up directly to my cable modem - and not use personal devices when working. If you have a suggestion, I would not mind trying a simpler better way.

    Do you see the VPN connect? Do you see blocked traffic on the port the VPN is using? If that server is on LAN all traffic from it would be allowed out by default, including a VPN. If it's blocked it's because of some rules that have been added (or removed). Steve

    Hm so it looks like none of the client isolation settings can be enabled when it is in AP mode. But I'll keep an eye on the AP if it happens again.

    @stephenw10 said in Slow routing speeds: @hngaminguk said in Slow routing speeds: Only annoyance being that the 2100 states a max of 881Mbps for Firewall (10k ACLs) I am not well versed into knowing how many ACLs I am using but I assume my setup currently has less? So I could likely hit 1Gbps? No, using fewer firewall rules will not allow it to hit 1Gbps between two subnets. Enabling pf to set any number of rules will introduce that overhead. Steve Okay thanks for the confirmation, in that case I will have to go for a 3rd party option such as https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Intel-Atom-E3845-4-LAN-3G-4G-4G-RAM-64G-SSD-Fanless-pfSense-Firewall-AES-NI-/114644549859?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0
