Re: [pfSense] GRE between 2 pfsense boxes

Re: [pfSense] GRE between 2 pfsense boxes

Performance and flexibility. OpenVPN is good at getting unicast IP traffic from A to B, but it's difficult to, say, run OSPF over it. It also need ridiculous amounts of CPU time to encrypt, especially painful in situations that don't need encryption. So, yeah, there are a LOT of use cases wher

Re: [pfSense] Assign IP Address with /32 Mask on WAN Interface

A /32 net mask is not used for used for regular routing interfaces. It has a specialized use, usually used for virtual interfaces. On a Cisco router, it would be used for a loopback interface. It is sometimes used as the subnet mask for an IP alias address on host systems (where all routing is done

[pfSense] pfSense as GUI and stripped OS for dedicated Cacheing name server

I remember seeing something years ago about the ability to use pfSense as an appliance to run a dedicated process. I think the post was specifically about running a name server. My search-fu is not great enough to locate the post/thread I think I remember. Nor is it good enough to find any recen
