Re: [pfSense Support] Internet at the lake? Rogers Mobile InternetStick (Rocket) with pfSense?
Check out the Linksys wrt54g3g which I use with a 3G XU870, (cheap 2nd hand) works well for portable Internet connections for a battery of wireless notebooks. It runs from 12V so car battery power is also an option. The code is open source and published by Linksys, whether that makes the drivers accessible I am not sure.

It worked quite well for the first day :-) The first day part is key there. :) It fell apart after that. pfSense doesn't support any 3G devices. The driver support on FreeBSD in our experience is somewhere between poor and non-existent depending on the card. The cards with driver support tend to be old ones you can't get new anymore. 3G requires PPP support as it's functionally virtually identical to a POTS dial up modem. PPP dial up support may appear in 2.0. 3G drivers is a bigger problem. There are some boxes that'll output 3G to Ethernet in some fashion (router generally), but they aren't cheap. $200-300 USD if I recall. That may be the best bet. One caveat though - don't know how it is in .ca but most providers here in the US will limit you to 5 GB and charge an exorbitant amount per MB above that. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org

[pfSense Support] Help with dynamic routing configuration
Hello, I've posted this to the forum but I figured I'd try the support mailing list. Here is my situation: I'm setting up a site to site openvpn between two pfsense boxes and I want to ensure that the following behavior be exhibited: * Dynamic routing information passed between locations through the OpenVPN. * Each pfSense should NOT advertise the WAN routes into the LAN. * I can modify the RIP timers accordingly. I need to be able to modify the RIP behavior and I thought I could do this in the GATEWAYS file, but this file is rewritten each time I turn RIP on and off. Does anyone know how I can make changes to the dynamic routing behavior and the syntax?

Generally speaking (as has been noted here), they appear as USB serial devices that you use as a PPP device and dial a short (*99# for US ATT) number. We were using OpenWRT, in which the 'comgt' package provides sane defaults for most 3G setups, including EVDO. Since OpenWRT is packaged for x86, there's no reason it won't run on the 6b2; of course, there's also no reason you shouldn't be able to use pfSense as well. All you need is a card that comes up as a USB serial device (some require special drivers and don't very well), and you should be able to run PPP on your platform of choice. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org

Some tests were pretty good... 2mbit down, 500kup... others, pretty bad... very bad... 3G signal would go down, etc... but it's there! Hey Chuck, I've got an HTC TyTn II. I think you told me that you had the same one, or a similar one. It has a connector for 2 external antennae. One is for GPS, I think the other is for cellular. The external antenna may also solve the all-or-nothing issue with your 3g phone by giving you a bit of a boost. There is a registry hack to make the device support WiFi tethering. In this case, you would be turning the phone into a WiFi AP and you could just connect to the phone using pfSense and any supported wireless card, including your Alix. Bridging 3g to WiFi with a commodity phone simplifies that part of the equation. Make sure to turn off the Bluetooth radio as it seems to interfere with reception. (this may also help on the Iphone) I know a TyTn isn't exactly cheap but if you don't have one already, you might be able to get one cheap with a screen defect or something. It's also quite possible that other, older/cheaper models would serve as well but I can only speak for what I've got. You could also jail break the Iphone and tether to it. Signal strength is an issue as you pointed out. I haven't seen an external antenna connector on the Iphone. I don't know how your wife would feel about you putting her Iphone in a tupperware container and hoisting it up a pole just so you could have Internet access. :-) If you were doing wireless tethering, you wouldn't strictly need pfSense in this arrangement. One benefit to using it would be tunneling, with OpenVPN or IPsec, back to work/home. If you turn on compression you could boost your effective throughput with some types of traffic and possibly reduce your cellular data usage.

Probably, but I have no idea what the actual chipset is. The 6b2's Express slot is USB-only (remember that Mini PCI Express is either PCI-E or USB-2.0), so you'd have to make sure that you get a card that supports the USB side. That said, I seem to have seen a lot more USB-based than PCI based mP-E cards, so your chances are good. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
