    Try a 2.4.4 snapshot. The more people test it the more likely we are to find any issues. Very much not for production at this point though. https://www.pfsense.org/snapshots/ Steve

    Thanks for the suggestion. I have a dual WAN setup so need a atleast 3 NICs. The M350 case comes with a 150W external brick is very well ventilated. How about low power boards like C2558 and C2758 from Supermicro? The only downside i see with them is they dont have active cooling on the heatsink. Hopefully, the ones being sold in the market dont have the nasty bug which causes them to fail in high temperatures.

    Find what is eating the disk space and clean it up.

    @kpa: @VAMike: I use one of those on my laptop when I want something faster than wifi. It can do 1gpbs all day long under linux, no problem. The problem here is that pfsense/freebsd have limited hardware support. You have basically two options: 1) stick with pfsense and buy different hardware or 2) keep the hardware and use a different OS. What you can't do is just assume that any hardware will work with pfsense the way it does on other OS's. That's a bit of a blanket statement. For wireless and USB devices it tends to hold true but for your bread and butter wired PCI/PCIe/PCI-X hardware it doesn't really. FreeBSD/pfSense has excellent support for most common server grade wired NICs. Sure, you can get endorsements for any intel nic you might choose. Anything else that doesn't work is at fault for not being good enough for pfsense. (When an Intel nic, on the other hand, doesn't work, it's obviously a driver problem which will be resolved soon.)

    Nope. They are in the order the "BIOS" assigns them. Either reassign the interfaces to the new names that correspond to the same interface or re-patch to the new interface with the same name.

    It may be possible to load that kernel module into pfSense. It may only load against their custom kernel. Try it and see. Since it's binary only there's no way to rebuild a pfSense kernel with it included. Any pfSense firmware update that changes the kernel could potentially break it. It's likely to be a nightmare IMO.  :-\ It seems odd that it's opensource in Linux though…. Steve

    Hmm… Maybe I am not understanding the question, but how about something like: https://ark.intel.com/products/39776/Intel-Ethernet-Converged-Network-Adapter-X520-DA2 Paired with something like: https://www.fs.com/products/29849.html I think the chipset on this card is supported by pfSense and Intel cards are not picky about the transceiver brand. Edit: Or better yet: https://www.fs.com/products/36432.html Compatible with both 1 Gig and 10 Gig. Carlos

    Probably no way to tell unless the seller gives a boot log. Even then it's unclear to me. You might consider this: https://store.netgate.com/MBT-2220-system.aspx Completely different form factor and only 2 interfaces but I don't know what your requirements are. The MBT would have not problem at 200/50. Steve

    As far as i'm aware there is nothing out of the box for that. You'll have to build your own package.

    No tuning is going to get you from 60Mbps to 1Gbps. There is something fundamentally wrong there like a bad cable or a bad port. CPU stuck at 100MHz or something…. Check the Status > Interfaces page for errors. Steve

    What CPU is in that? The specs I'm seeing look like a 3GHz i5 in which case both those numbers look way too low. Steve

    You can disable the http-referer check from the command line by running: pfSsh.php playback disablereferercheck Though that shouldn't be required and the check is there for a good reason. Steve
