Take a backup, save it locally, call it "presnort". Install snort, configure it see how it goes.
It can be installed, it is CPU intensive, depending on your
WAN connection it could slow you down.
@chrismacmahon thanks. Thankfully I had a good recent backup. Reinstalled pfsense via image provided by Netgate, restored backup back in business. Thank you
Otto, please open an account and ticket at https://go.netgate.com include your serial number, or order number from this device (should be a printed sticker on the bottom). Thanks!
Just turn off UPnP in plex - it really is simple 1 port forward... All plex needs for remote access is tcp 32400.. Unless you changed the default port, which you would just use that then.
What version of plex are you running? Your behind on DSM which is DSM 6.2.2-24922, so I take it your behind on plex as well? I show current as 1.15.6.1079
Always a good idea to check the console on the embedded devices. Somethings can show there that show nowhere else.
Also it's a good idea to make sure you can access the console so that if later you have to access it you know you can.

Is the gateway going offline, is it possible there is an ISP or modem issue?
The program that monitors the gateway pings the IP listed, you can put in another ip.
Our book might be a good starting point: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/routing/gateway-settings.html
Any other logs we can work with?
I have noted it on our internal bug tracker. It seems unlikely there would have been a regression but I'll check.
Steve
Not necessarily. Most of the same things have to happen in terms of moving data between the two NICs via the CPU. However I doubt the same effort has gone into bridge performance that has routing.
Steve
Nope. We tried a whole lot of things and it never got higher than what you were seeing. I got 900 something routing through it on my internal network Laptop - Gig switch - SG-1100 - Gig Switch - Second laptop
But the second it hit the cable modem to the internet throughput got cut in half.
I'm still waiting for further firmware/software updates. I haven't looked in a few weeks to see if there has been anything new.
But to be fair, the second i use the device for its real capabilities and not just a dumb but good firewall/router like the edgerouterX, it's throughput is what i would expect it to be. And it's plenty for nearly all typical use cases for it's price point.
Ah, so no Netgate hardware here?
The A/E M.2 keying means it can fit in either an A or E keyed slot. But it really deppends what that slow is wired for. They don't have to be wired for everything listed:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.2#Form_factors_and_keying
A wifi+bluetooth combo card will likely be wired for PCIe and USB though.

Keith,
You can create an account, scroll down a bit and it's on the right hand side.

Tt is the same cable that is working as I type this. I just swing it between the AMD64 which is working beautifully to the SG1100. I also swap the WAN. Both of those cables are working with the AMD64. The AMG 64 just idles disconnected while I do experiments with the SG100. After the experiments I just move the WAN and LAN cables over and within min it is all up again.
I would suggest if you have questions on specific(s) between specific models or what model x can do vs y that you contact sales at netgate with your questions.
@Derelict thanks for the heads up . Ive actually been playing with the settings and other appliances in my network , and finally got everything to work with IP Alias as well which I'm finally happy about...7 hours later . :)
The pfsense box isn't the only security appliance in my network .
Thanks again !
