Re: [pfSense Support] Packages with pfSense embedded not an option - very sad

 I posted asking about Atom processors last week and ended up taking the 
 advice of going with the Alix 6B2 kit (not Atom). Just unpacked it, installed 
 embedded onto the flash, booted it up and it's up and running. Very nice 
 solution pulling in less than 3Watts without a load.
 
 Next step was to setup the packages... surprise, surprise... no packages 
 available for embedded. I'm very sad about this. All I wanted was IDS/Snort 
 and maybe SpamD.

Buy a 1 GByte CF, use the extended image (see list archives), change the
/etc/platform from embedded to pfSense, change /etc/fstab mount
options to noatime, reboot. Install packages etc. Buy a second
CF and dump the first image to it as a backup.

Alternatively, buy a 2 GByte Trascend 44-pin IDE SSD, and do the
same.
 
 Anyone have any suggestions besides selling it?

For most cases, you want ALIX.

It all depends on what you define by cheap.

 

An ALIX 2D3 is quite small and can be considered as cheap for somes.

I'd use PCEngines directly, if no reseller for my country was available.

Or try to find a reseller in Italy via ebay.

But I'd recommend PCEngines.

[pfSense Support] php[56399]: /index.php: WARNING! Captive portal has reached maximum ,login capacity

2009-01-23 Thread apiase...@midatlanticbb.com
I am pretty sure there is not limit on the maximum number of users that 
can login into the captive portal. The only thing i can find that this 
might be referring to is the Maximum Concurrent connections. I don't 
have this set, so i believe it's at it's default of 4, and that's fine 
with me, unless I'm told otherwise.


So would this error generate if one IP was trying to hit the captive 
portal more then 4 times but not login? If not what does this error mean.

*

**Maximum* *concurrent* *connections* - Limit the number of 
*connections* to the portal itself per client IP. This feature prevents 
a denial of service from client PCs sending network traffic repeatedly 
without authenticating or clicking through the splash page.



Thanks,
Adam

You are right, but in some cases is not the right solution. Many customers 
don't like an old pc in the office...
However thanks to you and to the pfSense developers and supporters...

Used equipment is generally cheap :)
The beauty if PfSense is that it will run on standard run-of-the-mill hardware.

Old PIII's rock with pfSense, and almost anyone has those lying around.  Grab 
one, through as many NIC's in as you want - and you have a full install of 
pfSense that allows you to install packages too! (embedded will not allow 
packages)

Yes, we do that, too.
But at home, I want as little power-usage as possible.
WRAP and Alix do exactly that!

[pfSense Support] Odd boot behavior

2009-01-23 Thread tehpopa

Good afternoon everyone,

I'm currently trying to get my old Soekris 4801 running as a router again.  
I never had a single problem with the thing running m0n0wall, and I figured  
since development has slowed on m0n0wall i'd give pfSense a chance. I  
flashed my CF card and when it boots, I just get a bunch of garbled text  
slowly spitting out. I can reflash my CF card for m0n0wall and it works  
just great. Any thoughts?

Set your baud rate to 9600.

Set your baud rate to 9600.


And then the POST will be garbled, but the boot messages will be correct.
By default.the 4801 baud rate is 19,200 (at least mine is/was).

You can FIX BOTH problems by going into the 4801's combios setup menu and 
change the baud rate to 9600--that way you can see the POST messages, 
followed by the boot messages.  Otherwise you literally have to change the 
baud rate to match a given stage of the boot process.
