      I don't understand why this silly software takes 4 or 5 installs sometimes to start posting a webpage.

      im trying to replace a true POS machine with a new one I have pf 2.1 on one and 2.1.1 on the other all settings cloned, the 2.1.1 box fails everything important.

      I had to reinstall pfsense sooo many times. after the thing stopped working reverting to factory never gave a webpage again. not even a ping response to ANY ip id program in. I had to killdisk the drive as subsequent reinstalls failed to post a stupid config page or ping response to any ip ever set. kill-disk-ing and reinstalls allowed config access..

      how is it people say Linux is soo great ??

      6 WAN 2 Lan pf multi-wan box
      2ed running static ip routes

        You should not have discontinued the medication… BTW, this ain't Linux.

          doktor's right on there.

          You're very obviously doing it wrong. I've NEVER had to reinstall a production system short of hardware failure or someone getting in and modifying the source on their own, and I have upwards of 20,000 hours of my life into this over the past decade.
