    How to push own DNS server when using VPN

    Seems like the NUC8 would be massive overkill for pfSense, but who ever complained about overkill? :-) Just curious if you ever ended up using it for pfSense and how it was. Does it have Intel or other brand NICs?

    Ubiquiti AC Pro and AC Lite Access Points Reviewed

    Ok I see now, the old one had a smaller storage and micro-usb port, the newer had more at 16GB and a usb-c port: https://community.ubnt.com/t5/UniFi-Wireless/New-Cloud-Key-version/td-p/2117090 I also have a ups but do have outages longer than it's runtime. If I did get a cloud-key I'd be tempted...

    Ubiquiti AC Pro and AC Lite Access Points Reviewed

    Sorry for the offtopic, but do you have any info on this Gen 2 model? I assume the current one is Gen 1? I'm looking at getting a Unifi switch and UAP setup, but the issues with cloudkeys losing config on power losses has put me off getting a cloudkey for now, so quite interested if there is a...

    Have any equivalent tests been made comparing the UAP-AC-PRO to any other access points/routers using a 3x3 client?

    Do Insight devices support web brower management?

    Thanks @NETGEAR Guy A few thoughts - having never used an Insight device, but reading some responses from those who have... 1. Would be really good for prospective purchasers to be able to access a "demo" account on the Insight cloud portal to evaluate what its capabilities are. I don't see...

    Do Insight devices support web brower management?

    So I found some information that said you can fully administer them with a local web interface. But you have to choose either cloud management or local web administration. Still feel there is missing information like how much is the insight cloud platform going to cost. Also it would be nice to...

    Do Insight devices support web brower management?

    The Insight range is interesting. I'm looking at the GC728X model: https://www.netgear.com/support/product/GC728X.aspx But their information on the Insight plans is utterly confusing: https://kb.netgear.com/000053256/What-Insight-subscription-plans-are-available...

    Updated 2016 PfSense build with 4 Intel LAN,8GB RAM,120GB SSD, 10 watts - $257

    Does it have to be? Shouldn't adaptive also enter TB albeit maybe slower to do so? Below is the result of "powerd -v" with "adaptive" and in the middle I enter a "yes > /dev/null" command: load 15%, current freq 500 MHz (12), wanted freq 500 MHz load 12%, current freq 500 MHz (12), wanted...

    Updated 2016 PfSense build with 4 Intel LAN,8GB RAM,120GB SSD, 10 watts - $257

    Did some reading.... powerd -v ....shows the current speeds. It won't show actual Turbo Boost speeds though. But apparently the fact it shows speed as max+1, which in my case was 1601Mhz - this indicates Turbo Boost is in use. Another way is to show the capabilities... sysctl dev.cpu. | grep...

    Updated 2016 PfSense build with 4 Intel LAN,8GB RAM,120GB SSD, 10 watts - $257

    Nice tip! I tried that and could see the CPU usage rise in the pfsense dashboard. But do you know any way to verify the actual current CPU speed being used? I'd like to test that Turbo Boost actually does happen when under high CPU load. All the specs indicate the i5-5250U is much faster than...

    Updated 2016 PfSense build with 4 Intel LAN,8GB RAM,120GB SSD, 10 watts - $257

    I received my Qotom Q355G4 with i5-5250U CPU, 64GB SSD, & 8GB RAM and have installed pfSense 2.4. All seems to be working well. My connection is only currently 10MB so this machine is way overspecced but I knew that in advance :-) I have PowerD enabled and am using the "adaptive" setting. This...

    You're right, strange. It's the "Class II change letter" linked here: https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&RequestTimeout=500&calledFromFrame=Y&application_id=Wu%2FhSxbOHMPPtuo2D%2BCMLw%3D%3D&fcc_id=TE7C5400 Also attached.
