    OpenVPN?

    It will always allow the ping traffic out. More likely is that whatever is at the other end stopped responding to ping or you moved to a different gateway that doesn't respond. Or maybe it triggered something that blocked pings!

    If you set the gateway monitor to an alternative IP accessible over the VPN that should give you back link stats.

    @stratus:

    I made the following adjustment yesterday:

    Routing -> Edit Gateway

    Probe Interval: 3 Down: 60

    I dont know if it is just a fluke or not, but I did not register any outages last night. I will continue to monitor and update this post as I discover things

    This worked for me.  Made an account just to thank you for it.  Had been troubleshooting it for 2 days.

    Sounds like to me, this puppy just fires up on all cylinders and doesn't care whether you have an Atom or Xeon. Can u schedule this thing in the middle of the night?

    Am Linux newbie but it seems to me this should be no different than Windows/OSX/Nest Thermostat, I want to manually update my stuff so I know what is known-to-be-good. God knows no greatest&latest updates are bug-free. YMMV.

    There are still some processes in pfSense that are thread-locked or do not scale well across cores and those benefit from faster CPU speed.

    If you run a number if things though, VPN, snort, squid etc, those can use separate cores so you would some benefit there.

    The sweet spot there depends what you're running but 4 fast cores is pretty good for a default setup.

    Probably not.

    It depends exactly what that box is doing though. For example pfSense can do ML-PPP itself:

    By lying and increasing my subnet size from /29 to /24 on the LAN2 I have avoided duplicate interface addresses on LAN2 and WAN2. At least traffic is now flowing…

    @Gertjan:

    This is the key word :

    Cannot allocate memory

    Also check drive space and disk allocations.

    If needed, stop en remove the "memory eaters" (packages - and I'm not talking about the cron - or note package here  ;))

    Hi Gertjan,

    that's not a Problem of mine. The Server has a CPU Load from 3-4 Percent and a low Mem usage.
    I found out that the Message and the Problem happen, if a Gateway has Packetloss and it's marked as down. Than the Error is generated. Also if the GW is coming up again. I think this is a bug that has been checked.
    As workaround i disabled the gateway-check. Than nothing error happen.

    @SammyWoo:

    Looked at the diagram more closely and this is impossible as pfsense is on the same subnet as the laptop.  Bad mask(s) or the Switch is hooked up/configured wrong.

    the answer was here

    https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=132528.msg730834#msg730834

    the device is kinda defective as shown

    Int 1 –-> ibg0
    Int 2 ---> ibg2
    Int 3 ---> ibg3
    Int 4 ---> ibg1

    this is the port config of the device..this is why it didnt work because it wasnt the correct port.

    "100% True !! I totally agree, I bet even all free DNS's are in it to. "

    Then why don't you just resolve.. Are the root servers in in on too?  When you resolve you ask the roots for the NS of the domain your looking for, then you directly act the authoritative ns for that domain.. You do not forward all your queries to some specific name servers..

    And you can limit your queries to the roots for only the specifics.. Ie you don't ask root for www.domain.com you ask for .com ns, then you ask .com ns for domain.com - but I found this to be very problematic with many domains that do delegation, etc.. microsoft technet had all kinds of problems if I recall.

    there was a whole thread about turning this feature on..

    That makes sense…didn’t think of that.  Thank you!

    ETA:  That was the issue...the 4 port NIC now occupies igb0 through igb3 and the onboards start with igb4.  Thanks again!

    Hi kshays,

    If you had no 3rd NIC on your pfsense you would tag all VLAN's on the LAN NIC and on the switch uplink port (trunk).

    You would then untag/tag ports on your switch as per requirements. In your example you would:

    Switch Port 1 - Tag VLAN1 & 3 (as it's carrying both Secure WiFi and Guest VLAN traffic to the ASUS RT)
    Switch Port 2 & 3 - Untag VLAN1

    I hope this makes sense.

    SJT.

    Well am glad u were able to resolve this with easily replaceable NICs and not some embedded soldered on NICs.  There are some system/advance/network parameters that users can turn off to deal with problematic NICs to try things out as alternative.

    ????

    What do you mean pfSense server?  PfSense is a firewall/router, that can also do things like DHCP and DNS servers.  If you have multiple sites connecting to it, what will you use as a firewall on those sites?
