    I have an ADSL Provider in my area, and they provided me with a router, with 5 useable IP addresses. I swapped it out for a Zyxel router really nice. I used the first IP for that device… And then with my pfsense i used the secondary IP in the range and my gateway was the Zyxel Router (first IP). Then added the rest using Alias in pfsense. The reason for this, is so that i can still access the Zyxel interface if i need. And plus if i was ever outside the network i could ping the Zyxel to make sure the internet was up without compromising the network, and Pfsense.

    The easiest way in my opinion is to enable SSH Shell login, and with Filezilla a free SSH/FTP client logon to the box with root and whatever your admin password is and browse to..

    usr/local/www/themes

    Under here is where your find all the themes. When i got bored i downloaded a theme and started to play around with the CSS to change colours etc. My pfsense is now amazing! lol

    That URL will show 404 in a browser because it has no index.html (or similar) and directory listings are denied. It is not meant to be viewed in a browser, the 404 has nothing to do with whether or not your system can check for updates.

    That always boils down to either broken routing/WAN configuration, or broken DNS.

    Start a new thread rather than hijacking an old one.

    Ditto on that.  Those SRW switches cause an unreasonable amount of trouble.  And half the time, upgrading firmware bricks it.

    I would make sure each node has a static IP address and then assign limiters to this, with the built in feature

    Traffic shaper.

    There is cool Youtube video on how to do this.

    You dont have to open up port 80 at all! all there should be is port 443 secure SSL. make sure loop back for NAT is disabled.

    go into Advanced the firewall/NAt

    Disable NAT Reflection for 1:1 NAT

    Tick the box.

    What is the status of the Windows firewall in the Win7 machine? usually Win 7 firewall will not accept connections from a subnet that is not represented by a NIC. Also check your RDP settings also to make sure you can connect from anywhere.

    In general, that's not exactly comparing similar products. Vyatta is more comparable to Cisco IOS, and we're more comparable to a Cisco ASA. They're two diff product lines for a reason. The general consensus I've heard from a number of open source networking fans is "Vyatta if you're looking for a router, pfSense if you're looking for a firewall". There is some overlap, and some areas where either/or will suffice, just like the same could be said of IOS vs. ASA.

    Set the MTU to 9000. There is a box for doing so in the interface config.
    This assumes your interface is capable of this.

    Well that didn't turn out to be to hard.  The location to gen the CSR was a bit hidden (add cert) but once I found it, It has been added and I now have a proper HTTPS link to the config page accessing it internally.

    Thanks for the replies guys!

    I'm on 2.0.1-RELEASE (i386) so I guess I'll have to wait for the next final version to come and upgrade.
    Now at least I know its possible.
