Enctrypting all WAN TRAFFIC

strong-vpn offers unlimited bandwidth. one month i pushed/pulled almost 700 gigabytes through them.
the dynamic DNS client in pfSense 2.0 at least allows you to select what interface to monitor.

Oh wow. That's awesome. Thanks for all your replies. :D

Of course with a service like that you have to trust the operators of the vpn gateway. They could equally be sniffing all your traffic.

Yea I guess so. Still I find it more comforting than trusting my ISP. The fact thet at&t among other ISPs are in bed with mpaa and riaa just makes me sick. What's next? This at least puts one more barrier between me and them. Its not that I illegally download lots of contentent, its the fact that my privacy is being trampled on. I only have one isp but I have vpn alternatives. Sometimes you just have to trust for a while to see where it takes you.

I tried StrongVPN but was unable to push more than 10Mbit/s. With VyprVPN I can max out my 35/35.

I've heard of VyprVPN. I didn't think Pfsense would work with it. :o Do you have a how-to on it as well?

Great! Thanks. I will post my finding and let everyone know how it went.

So installed pfsense on another machined and followed the first tutorial by ericab and it worked perfectly. So far I noticed a slight difference speed drop but nothing major. I am ok with losing .3 megabits. Thanks guys for your help.

I am on a 6.0 / 0.5 DSL package from at&t. (fastest I can get in my area) average speed straight to throught ISP without the VPN encryption I would be 5.8 to 5.5 megabits testing to boston. My DSL hub is across the street from me ;D With vpn I only drop to 5.2 - 5.1 or so average. The CPU on my pfsense is running rather well. Usenet w/ 20 SSL connections saturating the WAN i get about 5.2 megabits stable with about 30% cpu usage and thats a 350 MHz PII we talking here.

The drop is probably due to the latency of the extra hops to send all traffic through the VPN provider. I lucked out in that sending traffic through Vypr only adds 6-8ms to my pings.

I will build another pfsense box and try the vypr as well. Giagnews and vypr isnt a bad deal at all.
