I know vlan tagging is not really officially supported, but figured I'd ask here if anyone has had the same issue as me... I have a 2 NIC pfsense box, with the lan interface having 2 extra vlans, 4 (10.0.0.1/24) and 5. I have an Asus RT-ac3100 in AP mode with asuswrt-merlin running on it and am...

So, because I was advised by Merlin and others on here to get a more powerful router … I got myself one of those HP 8200 SFF elite PCs and thought - build a router! It is way overkill but, for a reason. What I want to do is have a router that can manage multiple VPN connections without losing...

Hi guys, So I'm finally getting parts for my PFSense box but I have encounter a bump on the way which I can't figure out what to do about it. So my motherboard has the following PCI Slots: 1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 2 x PCIe 2.0 x1 1 x PCI I need 2 x PCIe 2.0 x1 for Wi-Fi NIC Cards as one will be for...

Hi All, I have issues with VPN speeds as many people on the forum do and yes I have tried switching to different countries but it doesn't work very well unfortunately as well as buying another router and all those “VPN” advertised routers are crap because they have crappy processors and even if...

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions for a home firewall that can handle 1 Gbs fiber to the house. My current setup is a Zyxel USG 20 to a Cisco Sg500 switch. I have two ports free on the SG500 for uplinks (I use only one, but I can run LAG if needed - though this seems extreme a 1...

Hello SNB friends, I have been reading a lot around but most of the time, I don't find a similar network to get the best ideas on how to setup my home network. Usually companies will have a network architect and security guru that would be able to help :) Here is what I had in mind: The...

I have been using ASUS-Merlin on my rt-ac68u for a few years with almost no issues. The past year I have been using Guest Wireless with 'intranet' access disabled. That has also been working great. Yesterday I implemented an PFSense firewall/router device in front of my ac68u (ac68u has dhcp/wan...

Hi, I've been fighting with this for a couple of days. I have a pfSense router with a VLAN4 defined on the LAN interface tagged with id "4". That port is connected to port 1 on the router. My goal is to have a wlan on vlan4. This is how I have configured it: robocfg vlan 4 ports "1t 8t"...

Saw this over on Reddit - posted Saturday (4/29/17).... (Netgate/ADI is the OEM for pfSense logo'ed boxes) My best guess at the moment for this box (seen below) - MinnowBoard Turbot Dual-E http://www.adiengineering.com/products/minnowboard-turbot-duale/ Dual Ethernet MinnowBoard for...

(disclaimer - I'm just a customer - I have no direct interests with Intel, Netgate, ADI Engineering, or pfSense - sharing this info to clear things - as the whole C20xx mess isn't very clear) As many now know - there is a possible issue with some Intel C20xx series Chips and the LPC controller...

The house is long, skinny, and very tall. 4000 sq ft including sub-basement. It is built on massive slope, so the build is fairly tall at 4 floors. Interfering with connections are: Central elevator (convenient for wiring but might as well be a giant antenna) An engineered support wall...

So I have this "thing" for network security.... Trying to avoid to get hacked to easily... So from a security perspective, running pfSense on a dedicated box - is that a better (?) solution than the built in into ASUSWRT/RMerlin firmware? Let's have a peak at how I use my Asus: No web server...

If anybody is interested in this quick instructions. There is only a tiny bit of info I can find on how to do this according to google, so now snb forums gets a one stop how too. My current versions: OPNsense 16.7.3-amd64 FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE-p7 OpenSSL 1.0.2h 3 May 2016 OpenVPN 2.3.12 (soon to...

Just got this as a replacement for my broken AC68U. Of course most people probably buy the consumer AC Asus routers is for the wireless AC and RMerlins features. I think the Asus (pre FCC rules!) routers are a very good deal for the money. I spent about 200 USD on this (32GB SSD, 2GB ram) and...
