@KOM: Does the Clear Package Lock button only appear when a package is being installed Yes.

@muswellhillbilly: You could try, but you're asking for advice on an out-of-date release when a new release could theoretically solve the matter for you. I'm not sure why you have to continue running an old version, but the time you spend trying to get JSON installed on a defunct release would probably be more productively spent getting your scripts to work on a current version. You're probably right. My Pf is in a ​satisfactory ​state although I noticed more efficient coding in the new releases. It's just that I have made several custom features in this build. Some though are already in the latest release (ie. captive portal block/pass button in the passthrough mac tab, show hostname instead of host ip in the status_graph). But there are still several that is not yet in the new releases. And re-coding them for a new pf is too much task. Anyway I found a workaround to using json. Thanks for your reply and suggestion.

@Derelict: Hopefully your HSTS wasn't set to something like forever. Just 2 years… :P

I thank all of you for taking the time to help me out BUT when you just basically say F'  it just reinstall A lot of us maintain these firewalls in corporate settings, and you often don't have the luxury of drilling down to the _n_th level to find out the source of a problem.  Oftentimes it's pragmatism that drives everything, and Get 'Er Done is more important than Who? How? Why?

Hi, sorry for delay, but WAF was going down  ;D The 2g image works as it should. So I'm fine at this moment. Thank you for your assistent pfadmin

@johnpoz: If your talking about the mac client vicosity – its what 9$ https://www.sparklabs.com/viscosity/ +! for this client on the Mac.  I use it all the time with excellent results.  Connects quickly, has a menu icon to tell you when it's connected, very small footprint and imports OpenVPN client exports like a champ.  Very Mac-friendly. I recommend this client to all my Mac customers as well as my PC customers.  It just works.

Extremely surprising that NoScript breaks things. One of the most harmful pieces of browser "extension" crap ever written.

Decided to find the model number of my Ethernet adapter, Realtek 8111. PfSense says its unsupported. Well crap. :(

I followed this to align and enable trim on my SSD: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=86139.0 Step-by-step I did the following: *** This erases everything from the disk*** 1.) Boot into partedmagic and dd zeros or secure erase the target ssd 2.) Boot the pfSense liveCD in default mode 3.) Drop to shell instead of running the installer 4.) #gpart destroy -F ada0s1 (only needed if you did not secure erase first) 5.) #gpart destroy -F ada0 (only needed if you did not secure erase first) 6.) #gpart create -s mbr ada0 7.) #gpart add -t freebsd -b 504 ada0 8.) Leave the shell and start the install process 9.) Custom Install 10.) Skip Format Disk 11.) Skip Partition 12.) Install Boot Block 13.) Format Disk 14.) I had to manually change the "/" partition to a size smaller than the disk or I would get an error.  I ended up making an 80GB partition and 16GB swap on my 120GB intel 320SSD. 15.) CTRL-C at reboot and enable trim 16.) #/sbin/tunefs -t enable /dev/ada0s1a Reboot Execute Shell command in the web interface to run gpart show Start of slice plus start of partition should be divisible by 8. For my disk it worked out to be: (504+16)/8 = 65 Aligned (504+167772160)/8 = 20971583 Aligned This worked for me after a lot of trial and error.  If you choose the wrong thing during install it will nuke the manual partition and you will end up not aligned and have to start the process all over. Unless I am missing something this will get you aligned slices and trim enabled on your SSD.  

Thanks for the feed back. Just realised that iocage needs zfs. I probably go with with ezjail instead.

I am far more familiar with ESX over HyperV, but I think you might find that ESX has some advantages over HyperV Lighter weight. More of your server's RAM and CPU cycles will be available for your virtuals. Easier networking. ESX's virtual switches are easier to configure to accommodate the scenario you describe.

I received a follow up reply from them. Thank you for getting back to us. We are happy to hear that has been self-resolved. We would like to let you know that we had specific issues with Dynamic DNS after the release of new account panel. However it seems to be working the time being. We are still fixing and organizing the things in order to avoid such issues in future. If you experience any issues after it works please contact us back and we will gladly assist you. In the meantime, should you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact us. So there we have it. I'm glad it wasn't anything with pfSense at all. Thanks

SSD works and some shitty USB stick doesn't? Well, that's really shocking…  ::)

Oh thanks, I will try remove BandwithD and reinstall it later.

@sreekupm@gmail.com: I have Sonicwall T210, How to install Pfsense into T210? Not possible, those are MIPS rather than standard x86 like the Watchguard and similar boxes that people repurpose.
