pfsense

Yes, I know pfSense is meant to run fine on abstracted virtual switches. But I have hardware that will expose SR-IOV to the VM, so I'd prefer to use that, if at all possible. I can provide SR-IOV to a Windows VM fine and can even find details for setting it up for Linux, but am getting nowhere...

i need to realize a new firewal with some function (qos/shaping/failover) on an alix apu2c4 board. now i use iptables only but only console managemetn is hard on complex situation.... pfsense vs opnsense? suggestion?

Hi all, I'd like to buy up a 2nd-hand C2000 board (after checking that it's a newer revision that doesn't suffer from "that" notorious bug, of course). What are the notable differences between the Supermicro A1SRi-2758F and A1SAi-2750F? Requirements: mini-ITX form factor and silent (or...

I have this wierd issue with pfsense 2.3.4-Release as well as with 2.3.4 p1. Actually it was rock solid before on 2.3.4 and I tried to apply the patch P1 and trouble started. I wiped out and did a clean install and still has this issue. SMART does not show any errors on the 16gb SSD. My...

Below are the parts for my build. It will be used in a small business (16 computers + mobiles phone ...) with 150Mbps internet. Will this be okay with squid/squidguard/snort + antivirus running? What are some things I should know when setting up PFSense? Also can you confirm that I have the...

I am interested to know why there appears to be little love for sophos xg home version (or even UTM) from everybody. Does it miss something or not do what it should do ? Is the 4 cpu / 6gb a limit ? Does everybody just prefer open source OPNsense of PFsense ? Worried that they will suddenly...

I want to build a low power pfsense box for my house and have been waiting for the Denverton release. My internet speed is 100 Down/10 Up so I know I don't need anything too powerful but I want to plan for future upgrades my ISP makes and have QuickAssist for OpenVPN. Other planned uses for the...

I have read a ton of posts on here and tried just about everything I could to try and get my LB6M to "trunk" data to my firewall. I am trying to build a router on a stick configuration. FW Config <?xml version="1.0"?> -<pfsense> <version>15.5</version> <lastchange/> -<system>...

I've had my Ubiquiti ER-X for quite a while now and while I really like its price point and general ease of use, I'm looking to get back into pfSense for something that really provides me with a bit more customizability and power when it comes to my primary home routing device. That being...

Hi All, A few months ago, I started a thread asking advice for pfSense hardware to support a 150/150 Mbps home connection. In the end, I decided to go with the APU2C4, and I've been very happy with that decision, until now. I figured that would hold me over for the next few years at least. But...

Long-term planning for anyone pfSense 2.5 will require a CPU with AES-NI on-chip. pfSense 2.5 and AES-NI Also, in the near-term, pfSense 2.4 will be 64-bit only.

Looking good!

So after building up my network over the last couple months with the approval of the boss (aka wife), I believe I'm finally ready to replace my ISP's router with something a little better. My setup consist of the following items currently: Ubiquiti Networks US-48-500W Ubiquiti UAP-AC-PRO...

Greetings! It looks as though I've outgrown my ASA-5505 now that I've increased my Fios home connection speed to 150 Mbps Up/Down. So, now I'm back to using the Verizon Fios wireless router and I'm really wanting to start using pfSense and learning all about it. ...which brings me to my...

Hi all, I have been browsing for a while and posting an answer here and there, but I am to the point in my new lab/network build out that I need a bit of help. I have a 2gbps fiber loop being installed at the end of January and I decided to start getting everything ready for it. Until this...

OK, I've been poking at this for 2 hours now and I can't figure out what I'm missing. Internet-----------------WAN (em0)-------- |-----------|--------VMX0-----------(192.168.248.0/21) | pfSense | Internet-----WAN (em0)----OpenVPN----|-----------|--------VMX1----------(192.168.0.0/24)...

I'm not entirely certain what the model / name / specs are for this, but I recall seeing these pop up from time to time. I thought there was a recent post as well with several of these machines, but I'm not finding it. Apologies if I'm overlooking something. I'm looking for a 1U pfsense...

One of the new series I am working on: SMB Service Provider Architecture. This is going to be: pfSense firewall/ router Proxmox VE hypervisor/ storage node (may have ESXi too) FreeNAS storage (backup and shared storage) Getting it all to work and etc. Opening this thread for feedback.

I wanted to get everyone's thoughts on a new pfSense build I'm looking at doing. I might consider making this build a light ESXi build that runs pfSense, a TurnKey Linux build with phpIPAM packages installed, and maybe an Asterisk server. I currently am using a Dell optiplex 755 and it's...
