    Well i would have to shell out $140 for physical new box and increase electric cost and i wanted to play with virtualization but it may come to that. I just can't justify spending $140 to just increase vpn Mbps by 20Mbps which is why i'm trying to get this work on vmware. My main objective on...

    Blade i read this thread but how do i get comcast wan ip address in pfsense? The thread talks not bridging but doesn't give solution. In vmware there is 4 options bridging, NAT, Host and Custom. I have to choose one of these option in order for pfsense virtual adapter to talk to my desktop's...

    Here are network adapters. When i connect modem to my physical nic on desktop that hosts vmware and vmware hosting pfsense wan comcast ip gets assigned to Realtek Pcie GBE card. (currently showing ip form my 87u router tho). I don't quite understand how and why virtual adapters are on completely...

    In the configuration i described should both of the adapters in vmware be bridged? Assuming one is wan and one is lan. And how do i make lan to communicate with wan?

    I have no idea how to do that. I enabled dhcp on lan when i was nating but wan was always 192 ip not comcast isp assigned dhcp in pfsense. On physical nic i had isp ip tho.

    I'm also considering this physical box as this would probably do what i want for $100 but i really a) don't want to spend more $ as vm should fix this issue for me and b)I would hate to increase electricity bill if i don't have to and c) increase noise in my bedroom and d) waste money that i...

    Blad i have reset (unplugged for 30 min) modem about 20 times by now. That will not yield in me getting comcast isp ip in pfsense. On desktop physical nic it will but not in pfsense. I'm not sure what the issue is. It seem like nic is not bridging between physical nic and virtual nic in vmware...

    I'm having hard time figuring out if it's configuration or if my realtek driver is not working with virutal drivers, hance no wan ip from comcast. Any other explanation i have is comcast is blocking pfsense on getwway from assigning ip adress threw dhcp if platform is pfsense and only works with...

    Blade Runner, post: 241083, member: 24257 Rango, Several items from your screenshots: 1. Dashboard-Comcast should assign WAN IP as if pfSense were not present. It appears WAN and LAN are on the same subnet. That is the part of the problem. I can't get comcast ip address. If i set nic to...

    Routing conflict error in vpn client. How to clear all vpn client info?

    This no longer occurs for me but i forgot how this was resolved. I think this occurs when there is two different vpn providers in client information and you disable and enable between them. Reboot after doing that should clear this but this is just a speculation. You may also want to check if...

    This is way over my head hehe...i guess i need to brush up on my subnetting lol System if i'm saying something that doesn't make sense to you straighten me out. I could be wrong on nics but i think i'm right based on what i 've seen with ESX virtualization.

    Overclocking on Asuswrt-Merlin 378.56_2 (RT-AC68U and RT-N66U)

    Yeah the clkfreq will show you false reading even when your Mibs the true speed is showing you 2398.61. If you dropped to 1599.07 you're at default 68u cpu speed. Without the script which was posted ealier in this thread after reboot you will get back to default Mibs. Script will get you...

    Thanks guys for help. I think i found THE issue of my problem which is my NICs are really not working with pfsense. I found that out threw ESX which tole me no network adapters detected, but pfsense would not tell me that. 6 days of troubleshooting down the drain. I have realtek adapters which...

    Overclocking on Asuswrt-Merlin 378.56_2 (RT-AC68U and RT-N66U)

    For everyday wifi use and streaming CPU doesn't matter, 400Mhz router will due just fine. For IPTV and anything internet related with exception of vpn Mbps is what matters not Mhz so you won't get higher. You would look at Mbps speed of what your ISP is providing but anything north of 20Mbps is...

    Overclocking on Asuswrt-Merlin 378.56_2 (RT-AC68U and RT-N66U)

    I'm running 1400Mhz on 87u and if could have 2400Mhz or 4100Mhz i would be very happy. For me the point was to get as close to 5-10% my ISP speed while on VPN. VPN due to encryption requires heavy CPU encryption and decryption on the fly and for that you need CPU Mhz clock speed. 87u which is...

    Ok so looks like pfsense has no internet connectivity yet pia is up? whaattttttttttttttttttttt This pfsense is giving me a headache. Why is this so complicated. It looks like i need to define a route to my 87u or maybe gateway needs to come up in pfsense.

    Also pfsense has dns issue it appears as packages are not showing. Probably related to original issue.

    So here is the issue....Unable to redirect default gateway. Cannot read current default gateway from system. I suspect this is due to pia vpn gateway being down in gateways in pfsense. Not sure how i fix this issue. The network cloud looks like this ISP (comcast) to asus87u router as wan...
