@johnpoz You just don't get the different in working on layer 3 and layer 2. It is why you have default gateways and default routes and they are different. ThAT SEEMS TO BE OVER YOUR HEAD. Your firewall to the world is going to be layer 3. You are lost in pfsense and you can't see the forest for the trees.
Go away John please do not reply to my threads. I will try not to post any more here.
And yes I ran a small team of network people a long time ago. I had over 4000 PCs and around 50 locations so get over it.
You ran me off last time and I went back to Cisco over pfsense. Look back in the threads years ago.
Plus pfsense was having routing issues or slowdowns on routing as I was doing layer 3 back then at home. Version 2.8 is fast now which is good. Having a connection of 10gig reduces your latency whether you run full 10gig or not. I have 1 gig of data on a 10gig connection. I think this is best you can do now for home. I have a Cisco 10gig layer 3 switch I plan to install soon. So I can push the extra data bandwidth.
