Don't know what I did, but managed to get it to boot properly. Restored backed up config and GO !!

Thanks, all up and running now.

Perhaps the better solution would be to upgrade both to p3 if you're able to?

i'm sending all the logs to an external syslog server actually for squid you need to add in the "Custom Option" section something like access_log udp://ipserversyslog:514

@chrcoluk The number of asterisks shown is no indicator for the real number of password characters.

@bmeeks Thank you sir, for the recommendation. :)

Ooops, missed that! Yeah if you disable pf in the advanced settings that disables NAT and you need outbound NAT for any connection to work from the internal private subnet. Steve

You don't need to have purchased support to open a ticket. I just went thru this myself and they sent me a link for the download in less than 5 min...now if I could just get it working!!!

I edited your post as it was hard to read. I assume he means just in between two switches. Maybe as a layer 2 firewall? Steve

probably there is something wrong with your installation, a factory reset will only reset the config.xml to the default value but it will not correct errors on files. you need to reinstall

there is only one little problem, we can't see the picture

I have CenturyLink fiber, from outside it goes to their ONT that's in my office, then ethernet directly to my PC running pFsense. Centurylink uses PPoe, so I have to enter those credentials in pFsense as well as I needed to VLAN tag the WAN with what Centurylink uses (201). After that no problems. I get 940+ up and down on their gig line.

@dotdash I must admit that you are absolutely right. I am a very impatient person. ;) A couple of minutes ago I finally changed the Payload of the ping (I did it not right at the beginning). Also I inserted a monitoring IP on the interfaces. Now it seems to work but I have absolutely no clue why.

That is a lot of states. Does it make sense that those all exist in your environment?

Probably a difference in the BIOS and how it expects to boot (MBR vs GPT, or BIOS vs UEFI). In most cases you can move a drive around, but at that point it mostly depends on the BIOS settings vs the disk boot layout/partitions.

Cool, thanks for confirming.
