    @Sickcero:

    Hello everyone, nothing special here just my home lab.

    2x pfSense Boxes (Black, smaller; 3.4GhzP4, 2GigRAM, 16GigCF, 2x Intel GBit Ether ea.)

    P.S. - There needs to be a "Donate Beer" button on the website, I dont want to buy a Gold Subscription but I do want to send the guys a few bucks for their favorite beverages. Any suggestions?

    If I said, "buy pfSense Gold", would you hate me?

      Tough to hate you just for that Jim.  ;)
      However I know I didn't have $100 to spare when I was a student. That would have fed me for weeks, including beer! Perhaps a Silver subscription might be in order? I don't envy you deciding what that might entail though.

          While we are at it, are there any plans of expanding the "subscription program" with other types(/prices)?

                Yes.

                And I subscribed for gold yesterday, just before your post here  ::)
                If I didn't know better, one could think that's on purpose.

                      @cmb:

                      Good idea for a thread. We're going to gather pictures from a variety of threads like these in the future and create some kind of micro-site showing off people's deployments. In the mean time, might as well get another thread going.  :)

                      Here's our primary colocation facility, where this site and most of our others run, as well as the snapshot and release build servers. The firewalls are virtual in ESX, a HA pair with primary on one ESX server and secondary on another.

                      It should probably be noted that this has changed substantially since Dec '12.  The R510s are still in-use, but we use real hw firewalls now, not VMware, and there is a redundant 10Gbps link running to the office, where the build servers now live.

                      Will try to post pics soon.

                        In the meantime, we gave the freebsd foundation two custom-etched APUs to raffle off at BSDcan.

                        Here's a flickr album from one of the winners.

                        The other case had a Canadian Mounty themed "Beastie".

                          This is where pfSense gets hammered.

                                  It's nice because I had time & means to properly select cable lengths.
                                  But there's no such thing as an ideal world… (see next picture :D)

                                    All running pfSense? Can't make out the LCD on the XTM5s to be sure.

                                        It turns out that pfSense box can make a decent Metal Gear model stand. And let's face it - no one f**ks with your network when there's Rex around ;)
