      Unbelievably bad. Maybe the Netgate boxes are okay but absolute junk on a pc.

      It's been running fine for me for almost 6 years. I'm currently running on the computer described in my sig, but previously ran on an old HP compact desktop computer. No issues with either.

      BTW, what trial version? I've never seen one of those. Trial versions are generally for paid software, which pfsense is not. Are you sure you're running pfsense? Incidentally, I've been running the LibreOffice/OpenOffice/StarOffice package for several years and participated in the online groups. Every now and then, someone would pop up claiming they bought the software and were demanding the support they'd paid for. Turns out they'd paid someone for the software or something else entirely. Are you one of those who got suckered in that way?

      PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
      i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.
      UniFi AC-Lite access point

      I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

        Antivirus feature running ok - stops nothing. Not even eicar. Squid clam has clammed up.

        Clam AV is s**t, protect your end points.

        No issues what so ever with pfSense here.

            @ppal Maybe I am not a true fan boy, but I figured there were 3 options:

            1. You needed help and asked poorly
            2. You needed help and did not know you needed help
            3. You like causing problems and cannot get elected to public office

            None of those 3 are worth me getting upset.

              @ppal I bet you're trying to run 64bits software on 32bits hardware or this is just a troll.

                @nollipfsense Don't go to the casino. Your betting skills are poor.

                    If you have Squid and ClamAV setup correctly it will certainly detect and block the EICAR test file. But is it worth doing so? I would argue it isn't unless you're already running Squid for some other purpose.
