      Just noticed that the bit mask 31 is missing from the interfaces page.

      I only noticed this because I'm using pfsense to act as a switch (no longer trusting cisco with their built in backdoors) with multiple nics and snort on each nic to restrict the traffic flows due to being continually hacked.

      I even noticed yesterday my bridged router was switching on the built in wireless which I have always configured as switched off as I dont fancy sitting next to a microwave transmitter.

      Capitalism, currently The World's best Entertainment Control System and YOU cant buy it! But you can buy this, or some of this or some of these

      Asch Conformity, mainly the blind leading the blind.

        Running a /31 isn't possible on FreeBSD 8.x. Should work in pfSense 2.2 though as that will be based on FreeBSD 10.

        I can break anything.

          ah ok, I'll keep an eye out for the 2.2 beta then. Thanks!
