Is it that you'd like to run pfSense on a workstation in Siaya, to enable you get SSH access onto a server located there? Have you tried looking at this another way, like: 1. Using TeamViewer (http://www.teamviewer.com) - Get the guys at Siaya to run it on a host there, run the same on your side, access their Desktop, then you can download putty.exe from http://lix.in/-adf819 and use it to ssh into the server you want 2. If you want to have pfSense at the site in Siaya, my question is - how will you be accessing the pfSense box? Do you intend to configure a VPN tunnel between the box and another endpoint at your end? I have not tried using Internet in Siaya, but if Safaricom was there, I'd go for their 3G instead of this EvDO from Orange, although the last time I used EvDO in Kisumu the speeds were pretty good. I hope the same applies to Siaya. Please feel free to take this discussion off list with me. I have a feeling you are not in Kenya at the moment. I can probably help you sort out your needs. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.
