      Hello I'm still convinced the bottom one not the top one that's originally there but the expansion slot 2.5 give it one is defective but Intel won't admit it even though I brought to their attention and its underperforming even when it did work on top of that every single restore I've tried and I've tried them all trust me I tried Matchstick tried I so I've done every single possible program and what is an absolutely amazing mean is that we have not even be gone to have the ability to restore a pfSense config file directly plugged in to the pfSense device in my case is bare-bones but for VMware it's different but you still I'm sure you could do it why isn't this implemented why is he in for interface still for like 10 years ago there are improvements that should be done here and for some reason I don't know why I'm even paying for sense plus when I get this kind of customer support0

      I try every single configuration leading up to this weather was just a basic package install or a full-blown with rdd and extra data is still will not work because it was state that the interfaces are in the same obviously and then I use pihole personally so that's a whole another thing that's a whole other layer so why don't work perfectly maybe like the day before this all happened it was beautiful but now there's so many moving parts that when one thing breaks is just going to give you hell

      What I don't get is why static assign devices like my iPhone for example or my PC can't communicate with another statically assigned device in DHCP or even my switch for example it would refuse the connection and I'm not sure why this this was a problem for many years every time I restored pfSense and I don't know what caused it but that's just one of many

      What I don't get is why static assign devices like my iPhone for example or my PC can't communicate with another statically assigned device in DHCP or even my switch for example it would refuse the I'm wasted probably 3 weekends then Cruise both days trying to get this to work because I need that I work from home so this sucks like sure are we that you can get up to Google's f****** DNS and get it going that way yet maybe you could but I want to get it to work because I'm a home f****** Gladys and I want to do things my way I want them to work like I understand stuff happens but this kind of stuff is just unacceptable

      TLDR;
      The last thing I want to ask the community is that I've not been able to get any successful boot up a sentence using using I also think it would show that there's no bootable device found and I went through bios settings I went through and say will it possibly everything that could have possibly had to do with it and it worked fine before but still I can't even get it to install at this point that's what makes me so angry so if anyone has any input on that I would appreciate it thank you

        Please give me your support ticket number so I can review this. I still see no tickets from this email address so I assume you used a different one. Which would make sense since I don't see any support subscriptions on it either.

        If those devices are in the same subnet that traffic doesn't go through pfSense at all. So I would look at something in the same layer 2 like maybe port isolation on the switch.

        Either the install image is not on the USB stick correctly (try using Etcher) or it's a BIOS like you looked for or it's a hardware issue like a bad USB driver or bad port.
