    You can configure this path on squid package but usually it will be on /var(/squid)

    To get a better performance, enable soft updates on this new partition.

    If that's on CD, that's normal, and not fatal.

    It's trying to read or probe the CD in some way that isn't possible while booting from CD.

    On 2.0 that option can change the WAN IP as well.

    You really shouldn't be starting out with 1.2.3 at this stage, 2.0 (and 2.0.1) have been out for many months.

    Just import the files they give you into the Cert Manager. IIRC, If you made the CSR in the GUI, the CSR should still show up, you can press "e" to edit the CSR and input the result from your originating CA.

    Solved by adding the kern.cam.boot_delay=10000 tricks….......
    It would be nice if this is by default on, it doesn't really cause much extra time from booting but a few hours for ignorance like me to trouble-shoot ::)

    It would interesting to know what they expect the network to look like.
    Presumably they have done this many times before and have found this be the best setup.

    I'd be interested in the opinion of someone with more experience on this.

    It's because the default rule on the pfSense LAN interface that allows access to the web GUI only allows access from the LAN subnet.
    If you are coming from a remote subnet routed via a VPN that will be blocked.
    You need to add a rule on LAN to allow access from your remote subnet.
    You should be able to so your routed access attempts being blocked in the firewall logs.

    I recommend you use the NanoBSD install on a compact flash card in that box unless you have a good reason not to. For instance you need to have a HD install to have access to all available packages.
    There is no HD image as far as I know.

    The underlying OS has no support for 11n, only will once we're on FreeBSD 9.x which will be 2.2, late this year. No way around it.

    @burnsl:

    Okay, so…  i REALLLLY HATE using auto proxy detection stuff, it is a needless delay at each browser start-up.

    It's not needless if you want to secure https

    squid + squidguard is a good option too but with transparent proxy it will filter only http.

    If you want to filter web content, then you probably need dansguardian.

    check performance with

    squid
    dansguardian
    squid+squidguard

    See what offers better performance and filtering options.

    I have manual edited the config.xml and pasted the old snortconfiguration within the tag <snortglobal>…
    Then I restored this configuration in Diagnostics->Backup->Restore.
    There is no option to choose "Snort" as restore area, so I have to choose "ALL".

    After that system reboots and reinstalls all packages, the snort configuration is lost again.
    That's where I started...  ??? ??? ???

    Any ideas?</snortglobal>

    Can you access the internet from the pfSense console?

    Can you access the internet from LAN?

    Is the WiFi bridged with LAN? If not, have you added a firewall rule for the WiFi interface to allow access to the Internet?

    Sorry for this long delay. Being actually the one who posted this request, implies at least an update from me ;-)
    I can confirm that modifying the above mentioned files did the trick! Everything running flawlessly! ( using a del r210 with a Broadcom card and an Intel I3 cpu)
    Thanks so much for your help!

    @stephenw10:

    Certainly there is no raid option if you use the NanoBSD images, as Nachtfalke says there is no install process at all. However if you install from CD (or memstick) and select the embedded kernel perhaps you can, I don't know.

    The embedded kernel option is there for running a full install on a device that can't take the normal kernel (like Alix boards).  It is not for reducing writes to the CF card.  Only the NanoBSD images have the setup with /tmp and /var in memory instead of on disk and the filesystem in read-only mode by default that is only temporarily changed to allow writes when necessary.
