    Yorgi here is 2.3Ghz router for $50 lol.....i would get it but i was not convinced to amd cpu variation. I love amd, my main rig is amd a10 but this processor is like celeron i think so i would rather pay 80 more and get i3. Not sure if pfsense would like this cpu. my amd and i3 and dual core...

    General consensus is linux is way faster on older pcs. My xp was running great on it and my win 7 is sluggish (with basic theme) even when i do chrome browsing. All drivers installed at OS and OS install was blazing fast. Boot is fast too. Wifi as you see hit 72Mbps which is still odd to me...

    Hey guys just fyi. I installed ubuntu mate 15 on my D620 laptop and i got 72Mbps on vpn threw my 87u router. Weird as this doesn't make any sense. Maybe linux kernel handles transmission better with linux code based 87u router. Nevertheless i'm not going to be installing ubuntu on my desktop but...

    ExpressVPN and Stock Asus OpenVPN

    On vpn. Try it. If you don't like it you can also flash back. Other thing you have in merlin's is settings back up which is huge help too. It's stable if that's your reservation. I mean it's like stock asus but just better features. Actually ppl find Merlin's more stable then asus stock. Asus...

    ExpressVPN and Stock Asus OpenVPN

    If i were you i would not hesitate for second to migrate to Merlin code. Not only you're getting openvpn speed optimization and get 20% more speed on it but also get more configurable gui interface, temperature graphs etc. You also get faster bug updates and faster ports like openvpn updates...

    Ha ha....It's funny i went from some old linksys G router to R-66u, then discovered it's underpowered then ac-87u and now i'm still hungry for more cpu. Waiting for my intel card to get here. Yorgi i'm pretty sure pia doesn't throttle. If i will be able to get my pfsense up (i'm still not...

    Asuswrt-Merlin is NOT vulnerable to any of the new SSLv2 flaws

    Merlin how secure are asus routers or more specific it's source code vs pfsesne firewall for example for someone with knowledge how to hack to get past them. I'm more interested if it's easy for let's say NSA to hack, get into asus router vs pfsense for example. Maybe a silly question but would...

    Chinquapin, What speeds do you get on AES128 on Express VPN. I was going to give them a try but they're on expensive side. Thanks

    Thanks it's already on it's way Intel PRO/1000 MT Dual server nic. I even checked if controller chip number is on FreeBSD approved hardware and it is so I hope it's nic not comcast. I was looking at quad nic but i probably won't need it and quad had 2 controllers in it and i don't know how...

    Thanks blade but i injected net 5.1 into esxi already. I actually tried all drivers. I think it's supporting one nic but other realtek nic is older 100. I think i'll wait for the intel server nics to come and try then. It seems no platform likes realtek chip. I shoudl have done that from get go...

    So much for setting up ESXi with pfsense. No secondary nic detected or available. Still me thinks fen realtek is garbage junk sh1t ESXi don't see it and pfsense probably doesn't either and neither is vm workstation either. I can setup till i'm blue in the face!

    Why is this pfsense so complicated. I mean router is like breath of fresh air. I'm starting to choke on air polution this pfsense is producing. If i had physical box would my outcome be any different?

    Here is my setup. Maybe i need to sperate my win7 desktop from pfsense vm somehow. Is that why wan is dropping cause desktop is trying to access internet and so is pfsense which is trying to get wan ip address? Vlan , virtual switch. I don't know what's wrong with setup. There are also two...

    Any thoughts what needs to be changed. I'm loosing my hair. Every tutorial is different. My case is different then every tutorial as well as physical setup and setup is different. If setup is different my settings will be different and i try and it fails. I've found youtube tutorial on esxi but...

    Blade any thought on this article point desktop nics especially realtek and marvel are useless. It's possible they are dropping packets in unix enviroment but are ok in windows. I don't know until i can test new nic card...

    Blade thanks for the links but i've spent 7 days on troubleshooting this issue. As you see I myself can't seem to get this work. The symptom is always the same no matter how i try to configure the vmware with pfsense which is comcast wan ip is either blank or appears for second until i log into...

    Here is what makes me think it's nic but that's in case of vmware esxi. I suspect vmware workstation is not much different in handling nic driver since it's same company and since pfsense is on vmware and it's freebsd unix based code i suspect it may be same issue as esx...

    System i just tried this. I disabled ipv4, v6 on physical nic on desktop on wan and lan port. Restarted pfsense and reset cable modem. I got comast ip on pfsense wan interaface and 192.168.1.1 on lan interaface. No internet connection on both desktop and my laptop from which i logged into...

    Will i be able to get on internet on my desktop if i disable ipv4 ipv6 on it? I use it as my main pc as well. The setup looks like this modem connected to desktop's nic1 (wan) pc, desktop running vmware workstation as virtualization platform for pfsense. Pfsense running as host on vmware...
