    Configure two clients to use different DNS pfsense?

    Yes im using an intel G4400 cpu. Im on an 80/20 line pulling 76/18. Purevpn and expressvpn i have tried and got very inconsistent results, in that it would steam fine for a while then quality dropped up and down depending on the time of day. Maybe i should give it another go with a different...

    Configure two clients to use different DNS pfsense?

    I have tried everything mentioned but I think there must be some block when using smartDNS servers, to limit traffic through their servers only. I didnt want to use VPN as this slows the stream down too much.

    Thanks I will take a look :)

    Configure two clients to use different DNS pfsense?

    I tried this but it still uses the smartDNS even when I disabled the firewall rules to force the DNS.

    Configure two clients to use different DNS pfsense?

    Unfortunately the devices auto look for google dns servers to aid geo lock. So i have currently blocked all other dns requests except the smartdns manually entered in general settings.

    Configure two clients to use different DNS pfsense?

    I run pfsense in my home enviroment. I have two media streamers connected (one wired, one wifi). I use a smartDNS service to access my subscription services in one country, but on my second meadia streamer I need to access the services in my current location. Is this possible without creating...

    Building a decent PC for VPN - Is this any good ?

    When you need to configure something you just log in via GUI like any other router. Not sure what you mean regarding anti virus on pfsense? Pfsense by default is a firewall that blocks all traffic. It's up to you what you open up. Ivemnot had any issues with hardware failure, should it happen, I...

    Building a decent PC for VPN - Is this any good ?

    You use a good home security suite together with Snort monitoring the LAN side and pfblockerNG for other nasties. All my kit was used from ebay and other forums. VLAN's running multiple networks with network isolation will stop risky users or devices from doing damage. Nothing is cheap...

    Building a decent PC for VPN - Is this any good ?

    The build was about £175. I have no idea what the box consumes but its negligible (otherwise Mrs Fingers would be on the rampage! o_O) No I use a Draytek 130 modem. I made a typo in last post, my speed is 80/20 VDSL line

    Building a decent PC for VPN - Is this any good ?

    If it was me, and the speeds you have, there is no way I would spend that and chose those parts. I built my own pfsense router. First off, stick to INTEL for CPU and NIC Choose a chip that supports AES-NI, only Intel will do. I run a Pentium G4400 and its plenty. its running Snort and...

    Any way to encourage handoff?

    Hmm Samsung Note 8...Id assumed it would be perfectly ok?

    Any way to encourage handoff?

    Ok So I moved the AP's further apart, now when I get to the place where the signal is nil, instead of handing over to the AP in the same room, I just get 'Authenticication error'. If I turn WiFi on and off, it connects straight away to the AP in the room. Its all very annoying, surely a system...

    Any way to encourage handoff?

    Yes I saw that but also saw some Guru a Linksys board say not to adjust them. I will try that and see if it helps. Thank you *Edit* I have had to keep it on Auto because the other options are: 100%, 50%, 25%, 12.5%. Anything less than Auto or 100% and there are dead spots in the lower floor...

    Any way to encourage handoff?

    I have a pair of Linksys LAPAC1750 AP's. Everything is solid and very happy with them, but on mobile phones and tablets ect around the house, they just hang on to the signal until its not there before they swap to the nearer AP. Is this a device issue (Android) or can the AP's be persauded to...

    VLAN Tagging problem

    OMG...I feel so dumb! I just discovered I had made a typo in the outbound NAT rule for passing the VLAN to WAN. So sorry to have wasted your time, with the two ports tagged and the rule corrected, it connected instantly. :D Thanks again for your patience with a Noob :rolleyes:

    VLAN Tagging problem

    The only way I can get a DHCP address is when port 1 is tagged and port 2 is untagged with both ports PVID1. I have a mobile phone as a test unit that is connected to: 192.168.2.100 When I tap on the wifi signal it just says, 'Internet may not be available'. Edit: I can also have port 1&2...

    VLAN Tagging problem

    I did but not with them both untagged as you said. I am going to reset the switch and delete the VLAN interface and start again when I get home from work. I will try one more time as my wife is going nuts because of the sheer man hours this simple task has taken up. It has really gone past the...

    I plugged a desktop into it and that didnt connect either. Looks like the tplink switch is garbage!

    VLAN Tagging problem

    @abailey Yes you have the set up exactly right. I have tried what you said and it still doesn't work. I'm wondering if the intel NIC doesn't support it but I assumed it would be ok. The Linksys lapac1750 AP has the default network set as vlan1 and have the WiFi network running with no issue. I...

    VLAN Tagging problem

    Hmm, I cannot see how I can assign 2 different VLAN's to a single port with the switch. It only offers one choice, either native (1) or any other that i choose. So If I just select 10, I lose my regular network.
