    Are you using PFSense as a NAT or transparent firewall? My ISP will hand out as many IPs are you want via DHCP. Their official policy is 1 IP for marketing reasons, but in reality, they have customers that use switches instead of firewalls or routers, and those customers complained loudly, so I was told.

    Try to enter the IP address of your web server into your browser. When that works have a look at your DNS resolution, e.g. ping your web server by FQDN and look which IP you get. Which version pfSense are you using? If 2.2, are you using DNS forwarder or DNS resolver?

    Not currently, no. It may be possible by probing some info via SNMP or by check scripts using NRPE or similar.

    For a VPN router you only need one interface. The "wan" can exist on your current LAN. The edge router would forward in the VPN port(s) to pfSense, and the edge router would also have a static route pointing the VPN subnet(s) at pfSense. That's really all there is to it.

    You might be better off buying a preloaded device from the pfsense store.  Price is going to come in pretty close.

    I think it was full install on mSATA disk i386. I will check into the menu if the console is enabled there, maybe it got disabled somehow (although I didn't do it manually, I only made a update with the webGUI. that's why I wondered).

    Ugh, throw it away!  ;D I used to have one of those.  The QuickVPN never worked and the Web-SSL was a hope & prayer depending on which browser you tried to use it with.  Even if its CPU were compatible, which is suspect, I can't see how you would install pfSense on it.  It's an appliance.  It has no video or serial interface.  The very first thing I did after moving to pfSense was to ditch our SA540 and configure pfSense for OpenVPN.

    The packages bandwidthd and/or ntopng may do what you need.  Search the forum for more info.  Note that bandwidthd packaged for pfSense only knows about IPv4 traffic, so if you need to see IPv6 traffic then look at ntopng.  ntopng is more capable and modern, but bandwidthd is simple and quite useful.

    Have you done any empirical measuring to make sure your users aren't just seeing things?  If you have an 8Mb link and you're seeing 6-7 Mb, that's pretty good.  If you go to Status - RRD Graphs - Quality, what do you have for Packet Loss?

    Never know this can help anyone else but.. Swapped out 2 completely different hardware boxes, and even other commercial firewalls and SOHO routers. Even switches were replaced. In the end the problem were the clients as was my original guess.. Apple systems were updated to Yosemite, all problems solved.

    Yeah one of the problems with using a actual resolver vs forwarder that if some bad dns returns glue for some domain it doesn't really own, you can now try and go to the wrong place when looking for a domain. So bad people on the internet ;)  Not everyone likes to play by the rules. If you just use a forwarder and ask say 8.8.8.8 for domainyouwantolookup.com they are the ones that have to worry about if someone gave them bad info when they asked for something else, etc. Depending on what your doing, there can be advantages to running a full resolver.. Others might find that all they really want/need is a forwarder
