    VLAN Tagging problem

    Yes I have a regular home vdsl network. Modem to pfsense firewall. That goes into the switch then that feeds the linksys AP and some local wired devices and a homeplug. All I want to do is add a wireless guest network thats isolated on the network. I'm sure I've tried it as you said but I'll try...

    VLAN Tagging problem

    I have set up a VLAN on my pfsense box with VLANID 10, and in the firewall rules I have passed all traffic. It is connected to port 1 of my TPlink TL-SG108E Managed Network Switch. In port 2 I have connected a Linksys lapac1750 business AP, enabled VLAN, and set up a second network with the...

    Do I need a layer 3 switch?

    After a bit more studying, it looks like I'd be better to ditch the BT Whole Home kit and replace it with the Linksys LAPAC1750 Business Access Point. As it supports VLAN and up to 16 SSID's.

    Do I need a layer 3 switch?

    So would I just be better off ditching the BT Whole Home AP's and using a few standard router/AP's dotted around the house? The more reading I'm doing the more confused I'm getting. It's the WiFi aspect of things I'm struggling with.

    Do I need a layer 3 switch?

    Yes thanks I read that, but it seems I cannot set a guest wireless network up with the BT Whole Home as I can only have one SSID and password.

    Do I need a layer 3 switch?

    Damn! I read the Netgear orbi has had an firmware update to supprt VLAN, but im not sure my wife will see the justification to get rid of my kit and buy that. I am in the middle of reading the link that Tim posted up so I will see if I can somehow come up with another soloution. Thank you for...

    Do I need a layer 3 switch?

    I think this is what is confusing me. I couldnt see how to use the BT Whole wifi over VLAN's on different subnets. I just assumed the only way, would be to assign a port on the switch to the default subnet and the new created VLAN on a different subnet. I may be way off with my thinking as I am...

    Do I need a layer 3 switch?

    Thank you, just needed expert conformation. Looks like I need layer 3. Thanks for the link I'll do some more research to see if I can come up with something else suitable.

    Do I need a layer 3 switch?

    Sorry what I mean is, would a layer 2 or 3 switch allow me to assign one port with the AP connected, to both the default subnet and the vlan? Appologies if I'm not explaining it very well.

    Do I need a layer 3 switch?

    I am looking for some advise please. I have a pfsense self build router connected to an unmanaged Netgear 8 port switch. That is feeding some wired devices close by and also a 'BT Whole Home' 3 disc mesh/ap that is connected to tplink av1200 homeplug, so I have the next best thing to a wired...

    New build for pfsense

    Well I have pfBlocker running great, ive tested it and its showing alerts just fine. My question is, do I need snort as well? I am a home user with eventually mabye a handfull of ports open. What I mean is, is snort better suited to business use and more overkill for a regular home set up?

    New build for pfsense

    Router is built and up and running. I did install snort an is just set up for LAN. It is not yet blocking anything as I have only been running it for a day or two so wanted to iron out all the false positives first. I paid for a premium oinkcode and am using the connectivity setting on the IPS...

    New build for pfsense

    One question I have, I noticed on one of the blocking lists ( firehol_level1), Choopa.net is on there with quite a few IP's. PIA VPN uses these servers based in London. Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but if I set the blocker up and I want to use ovpn and the IP is on the list, wont...

    New build for pfsense

    Thank you very much, most helpful and gives me plenty to read, pfblockerNG does indeed look like a better choice. I double checked and the G4400 is AES-NI compliant.

    New build for pfsense

    I like to tinker with stuff and learn new things. First off, I really dont need anything powerful like pfsense, as my RT-AC5300 is plenty for the household usage. But the truth is, I just WANT to bulid, configure and get a bit more hands on. My netwoking knowledge is woefully inadequate, so I am...

    Using 2 different VPN configs and providers

    Quick update: All will report connected but only one VPN will actuall have a connection at any one time. I cannot find away for all to connect at the same time. Using one VPN provider with 3 different configs work fine, just not with different VPN providers.

    Using 2 different VPN configs and providers

    Thank you, This is now the situation: Both vpn configs stipulate 'Accept DNS Configuration - Strict' When I do this, only one will connect at once. If I turn both off and set to both to 'Relaxed' and turn one on at a time, neither will work. The only way I can get them to work is I set them...

    Using 2 different VPN configs and providers

    Ok well time is not on my side today, but it appears that it is not possible to run 2 different openvpn from 2 different companys. I have tried everything I know and PIA will not connect when I am also connected with a config file from Exa VPN. I am not an expert, but PIA was working fine, then...
