Are the PDF and book formats updated alongside the HTML version? Last I looked, they appeared to be several months behind. @jimp: [We have HTML, PDF, ePub, and MOBI formats available for subscribers, they can pick whatever type they want to download. [/quote]

Got it, tried the wrong image. Tried the embedded image but it seems this won't install on a mSata SSD. Worked fine with the LIve CD installer for MemStick

I've had a few Dell weird issues over the years, you might try: Make sure the BIOS is updated with the latest versions. Try different install media, USB stick, external USB CD, internal CD Make sure the internal CD (if used) is using the same BIOS setting as the HD. I normally try to stay at IDE to keep things basic and simple. Worst case move the HD to a completely different system, install pfSense and move the HD back. Dell's are reasonably good units when you can get them to co-operate, but real  :P when they don't.

Ok.  I live in Acworth, and do this for a living. PM me, I'll give you my phone number.

i thought every intel nics are supported. oh well i just bought a tp link one which is running fine. thanks anyway.

Thanks for that link, I think I can handle that!

@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@muswellhillbilly: You could try, but you're asking for advice on an out-of-date release when a new release could theoretically solve the matter for you.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.
