      I've successfully put a pfSense router in to a Windows domain and using it load balance two AT&T uVerse connections for our business.  I got DNS, DHCP, and all the other wonderful stuff to work, and it's the first time I've ever touched the software….

      So what the hell does the 192.168.1.1 /24 thing do?

        /24 is the subnet mask.  It would be equivalent to 255.255.255.0 (11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000 = 24 1's).

        I can break anything.
