pfsense

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...

Hello everyone, as the subj. says I am trying to get opinions and maybe some help setting up a router replacement box. I have a Lenovo ThinkCentre M58p Desktop - Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3GHz which I got specifically to build a router/firewall for my home. have 3 1Gb NIC ports. on builtin and...

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...

Here's my situation and it's tricky. I have a bunch of stuff on my network today, with a pfSense Atom D525 firewall. Yup, its ancient but it's been sitting in a local office building where I rented out 6U of space just as a remote lab. I'm building a Xeon D-1518 firewall that I'm hoping will...

I did a search on here but I didn't see it. Does anyone have a pfSense template for if you're running Drupal or a similar CMS, MySQL and services like that? I want to put two servers and one pfSense into a datacenter. I think I will need the following services open: http, https, SSH, ftp...

I'm relatively new to advanced home networking. I currently run a Netgear WNDR3700 using OpenWrt as my router. I needed VLAN support to allow my SAN traffic and wireless traffic to be segregated from the main network traffic. I have been running this setup, Modem > OpenWRT > Cisco SG200 (2)...

So I just registered, but I've been lurking for a while. Before I begin with the questions I'd like to thank all those who have contributed in the past. I've gotten quite a bit of good info! A bit over a year ago I built a FreeNAS box based on advice I read here. Here's the build: Supermicro...
