    Yes, MindfulCoyote is right, a "gold" or whatnot, subscription to ESF includes the paid support, online "cloud" backups, and a book.

    Seems I'm not the only one curious about the release of the bundle of paper for v 2.0.

    Alas, not everyone has the budget to "go commercial".  Some think that "commercial", is really the future direction of pfSense & ESF.

    Some prefer to run their own "cloud", say, for example, using FreeNAS or NAS4Free.

    @stephenw10:

    Yet it worked ok when you manually edited the syslog.conf file?

    Yes it worked. Thanks !!

    @stephenw10:

    Use the Shellcmd package to run a specific command at each boot.

    Thanks to point this out ! I will test this package in the next days for further tasks.

    Try the "urlsnarf" package, it's run from the command line but you could output it to a log file.

    So you're booting from the CF card with a Nano image on it, yes?
    Two issues. Nano doesn't use the fstab to mount the filesystems. The Nano image disables DMA so disk access is slow. Fortunately others have been here before you.  :) Have read through this thread:

    That sort of restriction I would be looking for a connection issue, probably a duplex mismatch. Check the Status: Interfaces: page for errors.

    You're right.  Looks like it's rolling 500KB log files!  Thanks!

    @stephenw10:

    The pfSense logs are already kept in a rotating format with a fixed size. I wouldn't have thought it would be that difficult to increase that size. Not tried it though.

    Looks like they're generated here in /etc/rc

    DISABLESYSLOGCLOG=`/usr/bin/grep -c disablesyslogclog /cf/conf/config.xml` ENABLEFIFOLOG=`/usr/bin/grep -c usefifolog /cf/conf/config.xml` LOG_FILES="system filter dhcpd vpn pptps poes l2tps openvpn portalauth ipsec ppp relayd wireless lighttpd ntpd gateways resolver routing" for logfile in $LOG_FILES; do if [ "$DISABLESYSLOGCLOG" -gt "0" ]; then /usr/bin/touch /var/log/$logfile.log else if [ ! -f /var/log/$logfile.log ]; then if [ "$ENABLEFIFOLOG" -gt "0" ]; then # generate fifolog files /usr/sbin/fifolog_create -s 511488 /var/log/$logfile.log else /usr/local/sbin/clog -i -s 512144 /var/log/$logfile.log fi fi fi done

    There is a package for running a syslog server on the pfSense box you might also look at.

    Ah, I decided to go with a different board actually guys.. (I posted that earlier.) But I do intend on getting this board for myself. It's just such a beautiful board and would make such an amazing pfsense box that I want to give it a shot in my free time. :D But I will be broke for a while..

    Thank you all for Answers!

    But may be no need to use VLANs at all. Get the config file form the old GW and don't see any VLAN configurations there. May be ISP admins think that they have active VLAN.

    First Ill tray IP configuration without VLAN.
