Just wanted to say thank you. This and your other vids have really been helpful. Thanks for making videos instead of what used to only be in text on a BBS somewhere. Separator ? Genius! There it was, all the time, for years - why did I not use these, lol.

Hi, Tom.
Again thank you so much for the wonderful video, I have learned a lot from your videos. More power to your company and your team.

One of the best youtuber to go and learn about pfsense and networking and freenas. Love your content and I don't think I would have used pfsense in my home (not even IT background) if I didn't see your videos.

To really understand pfsense rules it's worthwhile to understand PF which is the command line version of OpenBSD. The concepts of lists, macros, tables, anchors are pretty great. Good book The Book of PF.

Thanks for this! Knowledge gaps is a good way to put it for those of us who encounter firewall rule problems but are not sure why it’s not working. Things get more complicated when you have several VLANS needing various routing rules between them.

Can you do a Video on the invert match? (Source & Destin) give a detailed understanding of it. Thank you.

[rafaellucchesi]

6:34 under Status > System logs, is it possible to filter firewall logs by src or dst subnets? What would be the notation/syntax? It seems to be hosts only and that was not covered.

[williamshenk]

great tutorial, good looking device too.

[Nikoolayy]

Can you do rules using AD users or AD groups? From what I have read I don't see this option.

[VirendraBG]

Hello sir, Could I ask you one question? Why the client using dns beside gateway pfsense the blocked on pfsense not effective?

[alexmarchant]

can any one tell me why pfsense is stopping me opening cbt vm labs?

[krantzenterprises]

I, m hosting my own web server and I'm having an issue where I get an error that says
Try accessing the router by IP address instead of by hostname." I have tried deleting all the nat rules and firewall rules and I still get this error. I need some guidance

Hey Lawrence, I had a question. I run a small WISP and we load balance manually off multiple WAN connections. Our providers are usually PTP capping us at around 100mbps with our current tech. We're currently load balancing 2 connections through a Mikrotik router and looking into maybe switching to PFsense. We don't do very advanced stuff besides Netflow to our accounting server, Queues per client IP for traffic shaping, we also host a small "youtube audio server" which I have throttled to around 5mbps so that it doesn't eat up our bandwidth but that's only to our nearest CDN with a x.x.x.x/16. We're currently using an RB4011 and I have an i5-6500 I could use for Pfsense or any other router OS. What do you recommend?

[rickgrimes]

Hell Guys pls help me. I'm looking for how to activate 5651 via firewall pfsense but I can't find it.

[zappatx]

Are there any "Allow's" needed on the WAN when using remote Desktop via a IPSec VPN tunnel?

[marciets]

Hi Tom, Is there an easy way to block a camera from reaching the internet but can connect to the NVR on the same vlan? The NVR should have access to the internet for updates. My router Is an Edgerouter x
