You could update. Your hardware is quite old. Your software is likely quite old. First, this isn’t Dell or VMware customer support. You don’t state the version of pfSense that you’re running. VMware 4.1 was first released in July of 2010. 4.1 update 3 was releases in August 2012. There is an update to 4.1.3 in April of this year. The PowerEdge 2850 was released in 2005, and given that the follow-on 2950 was first released in 2006, your 2850 dates from nearly a decade ago. It’s likely that the savings on your power bill could pay for a modern, low-wattage server. _______________________________________________ List mailing list [email protected] https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
