VPN service on a PC
-
OK, I will reinstall now. I'm not sure if I should install the 32-bit version since the 64-bit is recommended and my CPU supports 64-bit.
How/where do I deactivate IPv6? and the IPv4 Bogons (I don't even know what that is)?
I haven't done anything with tables yet. All I did was set up WAN, LAN and WLAN. And when is tried applying changes to WLAN settings the errors started…

I reinstalled the 64-bit version and it works fine. Except…
I have not enabled the IPv6 or Bogons so I guess that should keep down the RAM usage?
I enabled the WLAN (wireless NIC) but it's DHCP service assigned my wired LAN PC an IP from the wireless pool and there was no DNS and I couldn't go anywhere on the internet. This is really weird, I know I'm a newbie but still - weird.
I have completely disabled the WLAN interface now and LAN interface's DHCP assigned me an IP which conencts to it's DNS and now it's OK. But that about the wireless - I really don't get it!

IPv6 is enabled by default. You can disabled it in System: Advanced: Networking.
The Bogons? I don't know. I think, I've read here that it is possible to disable it. Maybe the table isn't loaded if you uncheck "Block bogon networks" in the interface settings. -
Uhm… what is the goal here exactly? Why "disable" IPv6? It disables nothing, it only blocks all IPv6 traffic (even written in the GUI).
-
Save memory. If IPv6 is not enabled the IPv6 bogons table is not loaded.
-
Uh… Disable the bogons instead! facepalm
-
if you had read the last posts you would know that we know no way, how to disable bogons.

Because it's extremely well hidden in the GUI! Interfaces - WAN - scroll to the bottom. :o ::)

Would it be to much adding some RAM modules to this pfSense unit!?
Not that I know how many you will be able to add in, but it would perhaps really speeding up the entire
process and also perhaps prevent you from reinstalling and tune some things. -

I've assumed this an written it above, but was not sure if it helps.
