Re: [pfSense] 32 or 64?

[Robert Pickett]

Is there an easy way to convert from 32bit to 64bit? preferably without
reinstalling.

I would recommend using a 64-bit version unless you can't.

pfSense is based on FreeBSD, and, it's fair to say, development and
installed user base is focused more on FreeBSD/amd64 than FreeBSD/i386.

There has also been talk of of using ZFS in future pfSense, e.g., for boot
environments and rollbacks on updates, and I would not recommend using ZFS
on FreeBSD/i386; it's far better on FreeBSD/amd64.

Cheers,

Paul.

Re: [pfSense] WAN not accepting traffic

[Robert Pickett]

I would start off by checking the firewall section of pfSense to make 
sure that the LAN has a default allow statement. It should say something 
like LAN -> any or something like that.

 I've downloaded Pfsense Live 2.1 and installed it on an old machine 
with two nics. The pf machine can ping internally and externally with 
no issues. I was able to jump to shell and telnet out to a bbs I'm 
part of. Now on the LAN nothing works except the pf web management 
screen. I have looked at the logs and it shows all blocked packets for 
incoming on the WAN. I went a step further and create a rule to all 
all traffic on the WAN to no avail. My network is as follows:


Cable Modem -> Linksys AP -> PF.

Yes I know its a little backwards but it should still work as I also 
have another ap feeding off the Linksys for a different zone in our 
house with no issues.


Any idea why the PF lan does not work? Yes I did disable the option to 
disable private addresses since pf is behind another router with a 
private ip.
