I have 4TB Seagate Internal hard drives in my NAS. I wasn't impressed with the quality because 3 drives had corrupted sectors within a couple months. They seem to be stable.

Fresh install, configured everything including VPN, and did not install any packages. Configuration includes multiple VPN clients and gateways? Check System > General Setup > DNS Server Settings Gateway field(s) should be [none]. One or more gateways offline? Check System > Routing Gateway...

I decided to perform a fresh install with v2.4-RC because pfBlockerNG and Suricata did not function properly after upgrading from 2.3.4 to 2.4-RC. I also wanted to take advantage of ZFS with 2-way mirror OS configuration. I installed RC upgrades when released. It was uneventful upgrading from...

I suggest reading https://airvpn.org/topic/11422-recommended-specs-for-air-and-pfsense/ Posts are old however accurate about using obsolete/old hardware. Your proposed configuration is OK for testing OpenWRT/pfSense. IMO you will be happier with modern hardware. The gold standard NIC is Intel...

Warning Will Robinson! Chenbro cases have questionable quality and limited upgrade options. Try to find replacement parts. Their focus is Europe and Asia. Save your sanity, buy Supermicro.

Perhaps I incorrectly read the OP, his house is pre-wired. The OP didn't mention the electrical schematic diagram was in his possession or access to it. My response was based on my experience. My house has structured wiring. I did not buy a tester and do not intend to buy one. It was a one-time job.

I had a similar experience. My guess is the building contractor configured wires for phone. I suggest calling a local networking company. I chose a company that sent someone who actually looked at everything, gave an estimate, and guaranteed the work. They will send techs who can install...

The 100 million question is ..."How to get additional resources?" I believe Netgate's revenue is limited supporting open source software. Therefore, I don't anticipate a LTS version in the near future. The pfSense 2.3.4-Release shows BIOS info and generates a Netgate Unique ID. It would be easy...

The pfSense responses were entertaining. Drama queens who didn't perform their due diligence prefer to point fingers. It's called planned obsolescence. Sound familiar?

I have similar structured wiring. My recommendation is contract local network installer. Installer will test all jacks (cable, Ethernet, phone), convert phone to data, fab patch cables, and, if necessary, install correct jacks. It was money well spent because wired trumps wireless.

Another Linux project forked. Call Ripley's Believe It or Not!

If admins deleted topics that are nonsense/ignorant, there would be nothing to read :)

Check VPN provider forum. Someone could have posted an updated tutorial.

I've been using pfSense for approximately 6 months. 1. No logs for CaptivePortAuth, IPsec, PPP, VPN, Load Balancer. No Wireless log because Ubiquit AP hasn't been installed. 2. Everything else is logged. 3. General and OpenVPN. 4. DK 5. 50 (default) 6. No. 7. DK

IMO people didn't plan or realize some packages had been removed. Fresh install should not be an issue.
