      Hi, recently I did installed PFSense on my Barracuda webfilter 410, now the problem is that the front ethernet ports doesn't work, in the interface list I can see three (IGB0,IGB1, RE0) but none of front are working, either when a cable is connected are not linked in both sides, please help.

        What does it actually look like, inside and out?

        Have a look at this:
        https://forum.netgate.com/topic/76640/barracuda-310-nics

        Unfortunately the pics seem to have been lost from there but we had to write some code to set the by-pass relays.
        A newer box might have BIOS options to do that.

            Can you see what the LAN by-pass relays are driven from?

            In the 310 they were just directly driven from the parallel port which was crude but easy to poke from FreeBSD.

              @stephenw10 it works! I just remove the connectors marked in the picture, the both front panel ports are working as wan and lan, thanks for your help.

                  Hiya @stephenw10. I didn't want to necro the ancient Barracuda thread that you linked, but I was wondering if you still had the code kicking around for readio, writeio, and BCHW? I found the compiled binaries for readio and writeio on your Google site, but I think the BCHW .png hack might be busted at this point.

                  Anyway, I'd love to see the code and be able to compile for Linux for use on my own Barracuda that I recently picked up!

                    Yup, here you go: BCHW.c.txt
