    It might get a bit tedious repeatedly connecting to the pfSense GUI and entering the details so another option would be be to (for example) create a shell script on the pfSense box in the office to issue the appropriate wol command and then invoke it by ssh from home. (Might need to do this under a user other than admin.) On the pfSense box you could add static arp entries by shell command but they will disappear on pfSense reboot. I believe the pfSense config file can include shell commands to be executed at startup (see the Shellcmd package and the discussion in, for example http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,34391.0.html ).

    Also, your source port will not be 443, that's your destination port.

    Have you tried reading the documentation and searching the forum? Much of what you ask is trivially found with even just a cursory review of the documentation.

    First, you should be on 1.2.3, not 1.2.2. (Or even 2.0 at this point) Package installs do not require a reboot. For bandwidthd, all you need to do is go to Services > BandwidthD and set whatever settings you want, save, and then wait a bit for it to make the graphs. You can make a backup before you install if you want, no need to backup the whole HD. Just go to Diagnostics > Backup/Restore and download a backup. If something goes wrong, you can reinstall (From CD, embedded image, etc) and then just restore your config file and it will go back to the way it was.

    On 2.0 you can edit the gateways and weight them appropriately based on how fast they are. For instance, my cable is about three times faster than my DSL, so I have my Cable set to a weight of 3, and DSL to 1. If you are on 1.2.3 there is a trick you can do the same way, just add your faster connection to the LB pool multiple times and that will use it that much more often. So in my example above, I'd add my Cable to the LB pool three times. In both cases, out of every four connections I make, three go over Cable, one over DSL.

    I fixed it all with a simple change… Made the AP vlan the native vlan(example, vlan200) instead of vlan1.. everything works like a charm now. Thank you very much for your help :)

    You probably need to set a firewall rule, above your load balancing rule, that sends traffic with destination 'your mail server' through one wan only. You could try using sticky connections if your running 2.0. See this thread for a similar problem. Steve

    Yes to those questions but… From the questions you are asking it seems as though you are trying to reconfigure a pfSense box you didn't setup yourself? Please explain your situation a little more so we can provide a more helpful level of answer!  :) Steve

    I think you'd be better off using PFSense as your primary firewall if you want it to handle network traffic. Use the ASA like it's a server and just have the inside interface listening on port 443 for anyconnect clients and forward that port from PFSense Wan to the ASA. Then you can either use firewall rules to allow / block IP ranges. Better yet if you have vlan support get a license for more vlans and the ASA should be able to put the clients directly on the correct subnet.
