      this is the configuration:

      Thanks for letting me know. Will try replicate it HAHA. Since my setup was up only few days ago (though I did research for months already), I am still working on it and adding more "features" on it.

      And I thought people generally use DNS resolver on pfSense instead of 3rd parties.

        @DaddyGo Great news I brought you (and to myself)! set WAN to 100baseTX full-duplex works! Thanks!!!! But what is the reason behind?

          What I wrote above is that the different ethernet controllers (chip) (one is the modem eth. port the other is the pfSense WAN port) can't match the link speed properly, since I have seen that when it works you are on 100base, so you should be forced the WAN port not to use the Auto-negotiation.

          with this I too have experimented a lot over the years and all my systems are built that way
          so I can control everything and in the greatest security I think

          You know (privacy is a myth):

          May I know where can I find this setting?

            and this is necessary:

            use the ARPWATCH package for tracking

            Do you usually turn this on or off then?

                for a static entry always on

                  @daddygo I have the same problem but my pfSense is running in Proxmox. I have a 30 Mbs connexion and the only option I have in the interface config is 10baseT.

                  Any option ?

                      There is a way.

                      If this forum complains about the URL, do the 'smart' thing :

                      https: slash slash pastebin dot com/cMNrLnjC

                      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                      Edit : and where are the logs ??
