Hi Norberto, It is solved but quite simply! But through no skill of mine. Installed tcpmssd, man page said to re-configure the kernel before diversion can be done. So I added this to the GENERIC config file: options IPFIREWALL options IPDIVERT options IPV6FIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE options IPV6FIREWALL_VERBOSE
Verbose just for curiosity!! Compiled as per handbook. Didn't even configure tcpmssd. Just thought I would check to see if sites opened ok. They did, but don't know why. Would be great to know. Unless they just shutdown the bodgy router for a Sunday rebuild. Will post if situation reverts. Your experience put me on the right track,thanks now happily I can use FreeBSD as my main OS.
