      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 can break anything.

          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?

                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.
