I wouldnt use PPTP because it's outdated and shouldnt be used in a new setup.
Try OpenVPN since it's really easy and there are already how-to's around.
Take a look at the OpenVPN subforum.

In this thread are some links on where to find what:

I observer what is posted in the first post with the embeded CF image.

Afterthat I gave up and installed from CD. It is working now. I hade a differenet issue now, and I have opened a topic in the hardware section.

Thank you all very much.

If I remember correctly from previously issue, SLBD can randomly run wild. After a reboot it could run normal for weeks.
As 1.2.1 is to be released i would recommend a upgrade.

@GruensFroeschli:

If you get an IP per DHCP your client will have the same DNS suffix.
Usually if you try to ping just the first part withing the same "subdomain" it will work.

ie: psymia.mine.nu is my domain.
a server is called whitemage –> whitemage.psymia.mine.nu
a client is called redmage --> redmage.psymia.mine.nu
Now if i ping on redmage "whitemage" it will work.

Alternatively you could enter your own names in the DNS-forwarder.

Ah ok, thanks, before it wasn't working by only hostname but now it works.

Now im off to learn about all these different VPN terms so I can try to setup a VPN next!  :o

Hi,

no unfortunately the switch isn't capable of this function. But I did read the thread about ntop and tried it but was unsuccessful almost every time.  :(
I keep getting the same error over and over again about local package cache. I'll have to try and setup another pfsense machine just so that I can try and test until I get it working. I just thought that there was a way to do this without having to hack my way thought it.  :)
I'll try again and post back in that thread if I still don't have any luck but any advice is still welcome. :)

Bye

Hello!!

You can try monitoring traffic via SNMP, running PRTG or MRTG apps on a separate server and definig there sensors that point to your pfsense server. Of course you have to enable SNMP in pfsense.

Regards.

Did you disable NAT?

Only power :) http://www.pfsense.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=52&Itemid=49

The box is merely guarding some admin ports, so it is very lightly loaded, despite I tried to reset the counters, to get rid of any error counters that happened in the past.

In the setup intended it does Proxy ARP for some IPs, it does even "loadBalance", but merely to proxy the request. But I also remove the whole ProxyARP and LB Stuff and it still happened….

This are the counters after zeroing the counters, connecting, waiting in vain for some web content to show up, in hope, that something would show up in the output.

IIRC the interrupt load is low, otherwise I'm quite shure I would have spotted it, but I'll double check on that!

I do have TS enabled (VoIP - kinda a must).

Looking forward for 2.0 :/

@mhab12:

Think more along the lines of having port 81 bypass the proxy, rather than allowing it.  My gut feeling would be an edit to the squid.inc file. I believe you can setup which ports do not get proxied there.

Thanks for your reply.I will have a look.

firewall –> aliases

has anyone got any insperation for me

Yeah, been keeping an eye on that because I already retrieve traffic statistics from them using SNMP.

Hello,

in 2007 a user already started a bounty for that (http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,4491.0.html). No developer accepted the bounty, maybe it was too low ($100).

Can you tell me if it is possible with mrouted at all, or do we have to find a developer for porting igmpproxy to FreeBSD?

pfSense isn't intended for scenarios where you're handing out your root password to the entire world.

INDEED!! ;D
