      According to Mr. doktornotor, IPV6 is sort of a busted POS in freeBSD currently  (Not his words, but I get that feeling)

      Its suggest to:

      Try - where you have the IPv6 "catchall" allow rule enabled, edit -> Advanced Options - tick the checkbox with the above nondescriptive description (This allows packets with IP options to pass. Otherwise they are blocked by default. This is usually only seen with multicast traffic.) - Save - Apply. See if it helps.

      If you are using IPV6.

        Well, nah… it works pretty well except for some exceptions...  ;D The fragmented packets certainly being incredibly annoying when you hit the issue.

          Apparently, passing the traffic as described is supposed to help.  Perhaps rather than going out of our way to disable and block IPV6 we should have been going the other route.  Enabling it and passing it everywhere including that menu he spoke of.  I'm all IPV4 here.

          Last night while purchasing a couple domains I considered buying IPV4RIP.com  since its not taken.

            Brilliant! I'll take care of that as soon as I get in.

            As for the other issue, I'll isolate it all tonight and try from a completely different machine (or maybe a cell phone) and attempt from there.

              This is going to ruin what little sanity I have left.

              After much testing, I have noticed the following pages load:

              pfsense.org
              google.ca
              cnn.com (unreliably and slow)
              thepiratebay.sx
              youtube.com
              speedtest.net (with 10/0.5 down/up speed ratings)
              I can also connect to Steam and corporate webmail
              I can download my gmail through Outlook but not web page

              These do not:
              gmail.com
              facebook.com
              youtube videos hosted by vevo (commercials work though!)
              forum.pfsense.org (wtf right?)

              I have used external ISP DNS, internal DNS and google DNS as well. Same results.
              I can ping the domains very easily with the exception of those who do not respond normally such as cnn.com.
              I can ping everything. It is just the loading of pages that fail.
              This is with multiple machines on the network.

              Removing pfsense-virtual from the network entirely and replacing with physical counterpart resumes normal activity.

                  Scrap the VM and start again from creating new VM and then doing fresh install might be good option by now.

                    This was done with a brand new VM and broswing by IP still led to the same issues. I wish it was a DNS issue. But it isn't present when the physical pfSense is there. I do know the ESXi pfSense works flawlessy so I'll go with that.

                    I am going to migrate back to ESXi where I can use pfSense a bit better. The problem is that with this new host, I don't have a hardware RAID controller and it is tricky to install (1U so either quad port nic OR raid controller) or I'll have to go with a SAN arrangement.

                    For now I'll spread the VMs across the the DAS drives and take good backups until the RAID Controller gets here.

                      SAN…

                      Cool.  I hope it works for you.  P.S.  What are you doing with so much stuff running behind such a tiny little bit of bandwidth?  Whats the end purpose?

                        SAN, yeah…...iSCSI most likely because I don't think I can do FC or FCoE with my current set up. I don't have much room in my tiny 8U rack.

                        Well I have 6 people and a few PCs that I need to babysit. I try to keep everything as clean as possible. Mostly a ton of GPOs to keep the PCs in line, and provide services for the users without having to rely on external resources. As you said, such tiny bandwidth forces me to have to have more things 'in-house' because any mismanagement will kill off a connection. That also makes me use WSUS, etc.

                          I just cache dynamic content…  including all updates.  It sounds elaborate for 6 people though. Hope they enjoy the effort.

                            I'm leaving the whole IT scene professionally but not personally. They don't understand the effort, but I like keeping current.

                            I appreciate your effort in helping me out though. I am currently almost done the Hyper-V to ESXi migration.
