    But unless he puts 3rd party on it - he is not going to have such control in the soho native firmware. He might have a check box to block or allow wireless access to the gui.

    I'd be looking at something else.

    Think it's been removed from 2.5 https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/8821 ?

    @cheapie408 yes, HAPROXY is just a proxy, a super powerful and awesome proxy, but, only a proxy.

    I'll have to double check, but I'm usually in a rush to just get things working again. In the mean time I've followed the workaround you linked to. It makes sense and I think that's what is happening in my case too.

    Thanks so much!

    I have this problem as well. My Growl server is listening for notifications and other applications work just fine.

    The bug was not fixed in 2.4 release (validated). I believe more people than you think use Growl. If you have a proposed fix, I am happy to help QA this. This bug is quite old - can we please have some attention on this?

    @xhivo97 said in Option to Hot Plug (some) Interfaces:

    Hi,

    Thank you for the reply.

    I opened a feature request here.

    I managed to make it work good enough so that I can use it. Have been reading the source code and managed to make some php scripts that do what I want.

    This creates the interface:
    Runs on boot-up and when the USB modem is plugged in (using devd).

    <?php require_once("config.inc"); require_once("interfaces.inc"); if (does_interface_exist(ue0)) { if (!is_array($config['interfaces']['opt100'])) { $config['interfaces']['opt100'] = array(); } $config['interfaces']['opt100']['if'] = 'ue0'; $config['interfaces']['opt100']['enable'] = 'true'; $config['interfaces']['opt100']['descr'] = 'WAN2'; $config['interfaces']['opt100']['blockpriv'] = 'on'; $config['interfaces']['opt100']['blockbogons'] = 'on'; $config['interfaces']['opt100']['ipaddr'] = 'dhcp'; $config['interfaces']['opt100']['ipaddrv6'] = 'dhcp6'; $config['interfaces']['opt100']['dhcp6-ia-pd-len'] = '0'; print_r($config['interfaces']); write_config($config); } sleep(2); interface_dhcp_configure(ue0); ?>

    This deletes the interface:
    I included it in /etc/rc.bootup so that the interface gets deleted on boot.

    <?php require_once("config.inc"); if (isset($config['interfaces']['opt100'])) { unset($config['interfaces']['opt100']); print_r($config['interfaces']); write_config($config); } ?>

    This script runs when the USB modem is plugged in and on boot:

    #!/bin/sh sleep 10 logger usb_modeswitch Changing Modem Mode usb_modeswitch -v 0x12d1 -p 0x1f01 -c /usr/local/share/usb_modeswitch/12d1:1f01 sleep 5 php /path/to/create.php

    I tested this and seems to work really good.

    Do you mind to share what 4g mdem your using ??

    If they did that they broke NAT-T and everything NAT-T is supposed to do. Wouldn't surprise me though. If they did that they might as well just use port 500.

    In the OS, the root and admin accounts are setup using the same credentials. So you just connect with root@hostname using the password for the admin account.

    @asphalt3 said in Custom Setup Question:

    settings do i have to change in the host's OS

    A PC (device) can have many NIC's, like several physical RJ45, Wifi adapters and virtual NIC's. Up to you to choose the one you need.

    I'm not using Virtual Box myself, but surely you could find some info on the net about how to set things up.
    If not, there is a Hyper-V example in the pfSense doc, you could use it as a guide.

    Removing the upstream router : you should analyse the WAN settings of this Netgear device. Use the same settings on the WAN interface of pfSense and you'll be fine.
    For example, it is was DHCP, use the DHCP (client) on the pfSense WAN device.

    Okay,
    thank you!

    L2TP doesn't require a 'key'. There is an optional 'secret' but you don't need to enter that in pfSense.

    But do you really need L2TP? It looks like it support IPSec, can you not use that?

    Restart php and then the webconfigurator at the console, menu options 16 then 11.

    Then check the system logs and any php error reports.

    What point are you stuck at?

    Is the modem connecting and giving you an IP and a gateway?

    How are you testing?

    How does the usage break down across cores? top -aSH

    Are the interupt rates from the NIC reasonable? Are they spreading load across the cores? vmstat -i
