[ Show your pfSenses! ] - Thread - (bandwidth warning!)

[evilgoat76]

of the 10 we have thus far purchased I've had to re-cap 8 of them. Makes a difference. They sync up at 35/50down and 10 up with the bad caps, after changing them I get 100/50. Def worth a look if you get sudden speed drops. Very rare the whole pile is on. Struggling with SNMP silliness at the moment.

Hmm, I've not seen that symptom myself, I'll be checking for it now though.  :)

There is one on the front right of the board (EC16) that has failed on a couple too.

[stephenw10]

Ouch, can't argue with that.

pfSense C2758 1U firewall appliance, circa July 2014. Still working great! Not hooked up in this photo. But I love it.

My pfSense set up, a 2011 Mac Mini server with 8inch 1080p monitor just to share!

The setup as it is now with the Akitio thunderbolt 2 PCIe enclosure with Intel i350-T2.

This is my rebuilt pfSense / network after moving to a new location/apartment and rejigging the complete network structure.

It's an older Atom C2558 with 6 1Gbps Intel NICs and 8GB RAM. Multiple VLANs (on the gray line), Lab VLAN (blue one), decicated management (black) and LAN (green). Uplinks are white. Same scheme on the Unifi Switches. WiFi uses Radius-based VLANs with FreeRadius running on pfSense, switches are using Mac-Auth 802.1x to allow/deny/map appropriate VLAN on the ports. The small ones above the "sense" are 3x Raspi 3B+ and below a BackUPS attached via USB to pfSense with the NUT package.

That's the final shot of the build, the whole thing (in german) was documented/detailed in this Thread

P.S. The SG-5100 shown was upgraded to 16 GB memory and 64 GB M.2 SSD.

Finally finished my pfSense router/firewall box:

• Intel Pentium Gold G6400 4GHz CPU
• Asus B460 motherboard
• 2x8GB Corsair DDR4
• Corsair 550W PSU
• Samsung EVO 970 250GB nvme SSD
• 3 x Intel CT gigabit desktop adapters
• 1 x 3com 905C PCI network adapter

It has WAN,LAN,DMZ and WLAN networks

3com card services WLAN p2p link it being only 100mbps card it is perfect for the job :)

Onboard intel ethernet as of current pfSense release is not supported it will serve future expansion needs.

Half the components are somewhat overkill for the job however it is there incase i want to repurpose it at some point.

With powersave options enabled in bios and in software it uses 15 watts of power according to APC UPS power meter, which is better than what i imagined it would be.

This router/firewall project started because my OpenWRT router only managed to handle 40mbps so now i should be futureproof when i upgrade to gigabit internet.
