I remember when I was in a security competition in high school and had to make a security solution for home networks and it was pfsense with snort, pfblockerng, pihole. Unfortunately placed second because the judges said it was too complicated for non techy users... Still won $750 tho. Nice video!

[DavidTOBerry]

Dude you are a blast to watch. I have been in Cyber forever and it's rare to come across someone that is both smart and able to communicate in a way folks can digest.

[Tjames]

Your content and enthusiasm in creating that content has tremendously motivated me to pursue my dream of working in IT. Because of you, I signed up for an IT degree program, paid for by my employer, and I am hard at work at that as well as working towards IT certifications. Thank you for your dedication!

[LAWRENCESYSTEMS]

Nice work, happy to see some more love out there for pfsense and thanks for the shout out about my pfsense videos.

[romzeek]

Wish I had a friend like this dude, imagine the amount of knowledge he could supply you with.

[richardb]

The coffee probably has something to do with the fast pace. 😂

[hankhyten]

Dude, your enthusiasm is infectious and so fun! Thank you for your expertise, time, and attention.

I really appreciate this channel. The education you recieve and the fact that it's free. Most of all, I love his teaching style i.e. enthusiastic, he loves what he does and it comes across. So many teaches are jaded and act like government employees, meaning it's just a job. I don't take this channel for granted and I'm grateful for it. On a different but not unrelated topic, he makes that coffeee look so good, that I had to go this site and order some for myself.

@NetworkChuck, I appreciate these videos you make and the level of information and time you put into them. I applause you for the effort and work you put in. How can I at least buy you a coffee? Continue doing this impressive work and moving forward!

[bryanburns]

Struggled with setup at first, realized I wasn't squinting enough during coffee breaks.. everything works great now..thanks for the help!

[Bawdashone]

My friend I wish I would have had you as a teach back in college man. You explained this in the most simplest of terms and how everything works at operational levels. I even have mine set up with port forwards for remote access. Best day ever on configuring a pfsense router. Actually my first time ever too. You are the best! I'll be checking out more of what you have on here over time during my intervals of non interruption from everyone wanting help with IT or physical labor lol

[PudgyCurmudgeon]

Love the use of the pen on these fast moving tutorials. So much easier to follow. On some of the others (from others) the screen flips to the next before the viewer sees what was clicked (what the hell did he just do? - Rewind!). A great way to add value to your videos! I'm sold. Thank You.

[Levi-Salmon]

Thank you for clarifying how things actually connect from a hardware sense. Feels like so many helpful nerds assume I’m already a master of the fundamentals but that means there are less opportunities to actually learn the fundamentals lol. I found this super helpful

[lughvxq]

Great video! One thing I want to add is that I looked into devices like protectli, but you'll trade that nice, small size, for performance. For about the same price, you could get a mini or micro PC that is a good bit more powerful and has better cooling. I ended up with a new Mobo, slightly older i5, 8GB of RAM, threw in an SSD hard drive I had laying around and it blows those mini routers out of the water. I run a point to point VPN, and initially my PFSense box was running a weaker processor and the usage sat around 30-40% at all times. The mid consumer tier intels (older and newer) and some AMDs have built in encryption capabilities that PFSense can use for things like VPN. I bought an i5 off of eBay for about $50 and now my usage rarely goes above 10%. I really have liked PFSense with Unifi access points.

[JulioCholo]

how cool is it that you’re doing this just when I started to use pfSense at work. your content ROCKS!!

[germail]

Great work. I loved pfSense: I decided to replace an old Gentoo that I could barely administer with pfSense... In my job... With no experience in pfSense... Only following the documentation in 2014 and worked great. After I finish my house, I will replace the router with a tiny pfSense. Thanks for your video, it was really fun to watch you. Best regards from Argentina.

[johnmikky]

Sometimes I really wish I could like your videos more than 1 time. You have a very cool way of explaining Networking concepts/Tech and also simplifying everything. Thank you Network Chuck for all you do for the community

[jasonea]

Just set my pfsense router using the appliances you recommended. Everything is running like a breeze! I appreciate this tutorial video very much thank you!
