I would like 1 hour of your time to discuss PFSense….

burnsl

I have many questions regarding my PFsene firewalls and want to discuss the topics of:
Firewall rules, Routing, Failover, Packages, IDS, etc…

I want to speak with someone that is deeply knowledgeable in all this and will consider compensation for time spent if the rate is reasonable.

Please reply here or message me.

I would normally post all my questions in the various groups, however, I have the need to get this all handled quickly and I am traveling often these days.

Not much time for waiting for replies and trying things out.

I would like to do a WebEx session or similar screen sharing with this person and have a discussion regarding these questions.

Let me know if you are interested.

Why don't you just call ESF? https://portal.pfsense.org/ or https://portal.pfsense.org/professional-services.php

I will consider it however, it's more than I need at this time.

I would rather give a highly knowledgeable individual a chance to spend some time with me and make some money.

I'm not opposed to contacting he SF.

But it will be my last resort even though I know it is the slamdunk way to get the support I need

Thanks. Good for people to know. Currently on vacation in France so I am back in the hot seat in a week :)

Good to know.

If you're interested, while I wait can you provide me with some information about your background and experience with this firewall platform?

Feel free to communicate with me in private message

I confess a morbid curiosity why you're approaching Brian, rather than ESF.

Not that I mind you sending money to Brian, but he literally can't know what's coming, beyond the current 2.2 BETA.

And ESF employs the actual authors/developers of pfSense.

I agree that ESF would be far more knowledgeable and detailed however, I need tutorials over the phone with some basic and moderate techniques of configuration.

I think it will take about an hour, and won't cost $400.

At some point I may be willing to spend that money but right now I need to try this way and see how far I get
