      I bought this hardware, put pfsense 2.4.2 and can't seem to connect to it with Putty.

        Seems your terminal program is on another speed rate than pfSense. pfSense use 115200 by default.

            You should probably call the manufacturer and get support for that. Looks like a hardware issue.

              Changing the speed rate did it, thank you!
