I plan to have identical copy of pfsense on two thumb drive so in case of the thumb drive failure we can use the other thumb drive. and if the hardware failed we can move the thumb drive to another machine. - We plan to have to have dual connections 1Mbps and 4Mbps(shared) from two different provider - VPN both OpenVPN for PC and PPTP (iPad and another mobile devices) - Perhaps also run a captive portal. Anyone have similar setup, maybe I could learn from the experience. thank you Regards, -- ----- Muhammad Panji http://www.panji.web.id http://www.kurungsiku.com http://sumodirjo.wordpress.com http://www.kurungsiku.web.id http://www.linuxbox.web.id
