    My main background is with Cisco switches and routers,  however in terms of security appliances I've never messed with any ASA's.  At work I use Sophos UTM which I actually love but from the research I've done it doesn't look like I can setup an OpenVPN tunnel to PIA with a kill switch from UTM.  It's the main reason I picked pfSense over it.

    Assuming you're on the same layer 2 as the devices you want to find. Install the nmap package (System > Packages) Pick the interface you want (e.g. LAN) Enter the LAN subnet (e.g. 192.168.1.0/24) Pick ARP for the scan type Not much can hide from that.

    Looks like they had a more difficult time than I getting it reloaded :D After using doktornotor's search terms, I found a page that pretty much gives a step by step tutorial on how to reload this thing. Turns out I was on the right track from the get-go, just the software I was using to make the USB stick bootable wasn't playing nice. :| The tutorial in question for future reference:  http://www.get-virtual.net/2014/09/16/build-firewall-appliance/

    Well - I think this whole project was just to see the numbers change anyway and little to do with actual internet performance. So, mission accomplished I guess?  The numbers look fine.

    1.  I don't see any 172.16.16.0/24 hosts on your diagram.  Where are they connected? 2. When you say the following: Created Defualt gateway in pf sense and configured static route 172.16.16.0/24  192.268.1.254 Just to clarify, what device did you create your static route on?

    Move elsewhere if producing some WDS/wifi repeater is your goal. This is NOT the project you want. At all.

    Use packet capture and wireshark, inspect SIP packets, you should find answer there.

    Thought I would update this post with a resolution. The installation found a RAID controller (or software RAID through the BIOS) and assumed that I was using RAID even through there was only 1 HDD and BIOS was set to SATA. The solution was in the pfSense installation troubleshooting guide at the very bottom of that screen;  going to a prompt, running a command telling it ‘No RAID’ and then booting (VERY condensed).  Was very simple and allowed me to continue using 5 servers. Thanks again to everyone that posted! https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Boot_Troubleshooting#.22Fake.22_RAID_cards_with_a_GRAID_error

    The only trick her is if you're going to slowly migrate services over from Endian to pfSense, or if you're going to try and configure everything and then just flip the switch.  I moved to pfSense from MS ISA Server 2 years ago.  I set up the pfSense box to run in tandem with the ISA server and started migrating everything over bit by bit.  After a week of migrating & testing, I shut down the ISA server, changed the pfSense LAN/WAN IPs to that of the ISA Server and then just carried on.  My users were none the wiser.

    i had the same problem  https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=85869.0 here is the Solution http://makandracards.com/makandra/1258-install-the-verdana-and-tahoma-fonts-under-ubuntu-linux Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, and similar “basic” Microsoft fonts are not included in a vanilla Ubuntu installation. You should have these fonts because many designers consider them to be universally available: Arial, Verdana, etc: sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer Tahoma: wget http://download.microsoft.com/download/ie6sp1/finrel/6_sp1/W98NT42KMeXP/EN-US/IELPKTH.CAB cabextract -F 'tahoma*ttf' IELPKTH.CAB mv -f tahoma*ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/ chmod 644 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/tahoma* fc-cache -v rm -f IELPKTH.CAB

    Your last question is a bit specious.. you ask "friend or colleague" but only allow one context for the answer ;D in my case: friend = 0 colleague = 10 I have friends whose VCRs in the 80s never had the right time I have colleagues who could really (and a few do) use pfSense

    @doktornotor: No, your problem is that WAN overlaps with LAN. Thanks. Any idea how I fix it? :)
