      I'm thinking about upgrading to 2.0. I know its still in alpha testing but I only use pfsense for my home router. Yeah its overkill but i'm a IT guy. How stable is it? Basically I use the box as my firewall/port forwarding to my web server, OpenVPN server(this would be a deal breaker as I connect to my network a lot from work), and I use it as wireless access point. Think i would be safe to make the jump or wait till its from RC?

      thanks,

          Are you using the TrafficShaper for your VoIP? I haven't activate it yet, but thinking about using it for my OpenVPN connection and keep p2p uploads in there place…

              I had a September build of 2.0A-A running on what I like to call a "semi" production environment. About 35 users, DHCP and UPNP enabled, bandwidthd, and shaping turned on for a 20mbps/3mbps connection. It worked great for my guess is 6-7 weeks and then it started to do really weird things. The LAN interface page kept coming up as a 404 error from what I remember and then the internet eventually stopped working. I had to format and do a clean install back to 1.2.

              I really cannot wait until 2.0 becomes a RC, because my experience with those in the past are rock solid!

                2.0-ALPHA-ALPHA
                built on Tue Nov 25 14:52:07 EST 2008
                FreeBSD 7.1-PRERELEASE

                dhcp, trafic shaping, bandwidthd, 70Mb/20Mb and 200+ users behind. Working great so far. Ntop failed on this release due to high cpu utilization. I think this happen when a lot of users are online.

                  i played about with it and can't seem to get openvpn to work correctly.. I'll wait for a RC since that is a show-stopper for me

                    Hello,
                    I just got killed by a snap yesterday :P
                    It's way toooooooooo early to ask. Should you consider 1.2.1-RC4 instead, same kernel/functionality(roughly), but different UI as you know.

                          I also decided to upgrade to 2.0 in these days
                          just considering the stability of functions
                          I need to use OpenVPN, Dual PPPoE WAN, Outbound Load Balance and common functions like NAT
                          Is there anyone has tried the 2.0 Alpha built is stable for all functions above :P
                          And I also want to know about the Embedded Version
                          Can I make the partition not only 24MB but may be 2GB as the size of my CF card :P
                          As I just upgrade my pfSense today and I found it only cost 24MB…....
                          I think it is a waste to my card

                          Thanks!!

                            To answer the off-topic part of your post:
                            You are looking at the compressed file. After you expand it to the .img, it's around 123 MB. (And the 2.0 images are 33-some MBs compressed.) There are some pointers to re-sizing the image on the DevWiki here: http://devwiki.pfsense.org/FlashHowTo

                                I tried it a couple of weeks ago and I couldn't get OpenVPN to work. That's a deal-breaker for me on the new version.

                                    Can anyone whose using multi wan with v2.0 tell me what build date they are using? I've tried numerous snapshots and multi wan seems to be broken, Im sure I read reports here of people successfully getting multi wan working on v2.0.

                                    Thanks
