    pfSense computer bulid

    Thanks all for your help. Looking forward to setting this up. The only thing I don't know is how to determine which physical port is assigned to WAN yet. I'm sure it will be obvious as I remember reading about a 'link up' status during initial setup. I must revisit the YouTube videos again and...

    pfSense computer bulid

    I finally pulled the plug and bought a Kettop Mi7200L6 (i5-7200U, 8GB DDR4, 32GB SSD). Now I just need to work out when i'll have a window of opportunity to install it without making the family go into full-blown-nuclear-meltdown.

    pfSense computer bulid

    Still weighing up my options but after endless reading and many YouTube reviews I am down to the following scenarios; 1) Netgate 5100 (like the specs of this and would look good next to my other gear) 2) Netgate 3100 (only 2GB RAM and non-upgradeable is putting me off plus I've read some...

    Just had the 100% CPU problem again

    I had this too and forgot to screenshot the 'top' results. I believe I had two processes to do with Diversion reporting about 20% each and a bunch of other things taking the total up to about 70%. A reboot sorted it out and still monitoring for further occurrences.

    pfSense computer bulid

    Here is what I may end up doing. Remove the GPU from my computer to make it more energy efficient or simply sell it and replace it with a micro-pc (I don't play games much anymore). Then buy a standalone box to run pfSense which leads me to my next question for you folks running pfSense; Do...

    pfSense computer bulid

    A lot of interesting views, thanks all for your time. I don't have a problem with the 86U. It has served me well and very rarely gives me any problems - but I often get itches and I love to learn new skills, it gives me something to concentrate on instead of binge-watching Netflix and the like...

    pfSense computer bulid

    I've cancelled my NIC order. I'll stick with my 86U as my router. Thanks for the honest opinion.

    pfSense computer bulid

    Oh that's not good to hear haha. I thought pfSense was much more flexible/customizable than anything else out there for its price point. Are you saying that running pfSense on a VM environment is buggy and buying a netgate with pfSense is much better?

    pfSense computer bulid

    I am about to try turn my Plex server computer into a pfSense router. The computer is a i7-9700, 16GB RAM and SSD. It has 1 ethernet port on the motherboard so I have ordered a dual port network card. I am planning on running pfSense from Windows 10 Hyper-V. I also have a Asus 86U which I...

    OpenVPN

    What adblocker are you using? And have you tried using TCP as the VPN protocol instead of UDP (just for testing purposes).

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    If I ban domain of bbc.co.uk via Skynet I am still able to visit bbc.co.uk Is there something else I should be doing after I've added the domain to my ban list? Does it take sometime to become active? I've tried rebooting router, rebooting laptop, flushing DNS......I can still resolve bbc.co.uk

    Port Forwarding Firewall

    Hi @PeterR Sorry to jump on your reply to someone else but I believe the issues I am facing with Plex are because of the DNS rebind. I have a 86U (192.168.0.1) running Skynet and Raspberry Pi running Pi-Hole (192.168.0.4). My Plex server is on a Windows computer (192.168.0.3). Everything...

    OpenVPN initializing forever

    My guess is that the NTP isn't synced. Log into the router and click system log. Is the system time reporting correctly? If not, VPN will not work until time is correct. I sometimes find my NTP (time) doesn't sync after firmware upgrade which requires me to pull the power from router and turn...

    OVPN server troubles with certain Android apps?

    Think I've got to the bottom of it. Need to test more but as it stands now everything is working again. I can write to my NAS I can upload NZB via NZB360 Android apps working again and Pi-Hole blocking ads Pretty sure it was UDP causing all those problems as TCP is working perfect.
