Re: [pfSense] support costs?
I’m recommending pfSense (and hardware from netgate) for a job that I’ll be very hands off of. The people that will be doing the work, I have no idea what skillset they’ll be bringing to the table, so I wanted to be sure there was an official paid support channel they could access. I personally use pfSense for work and home, and fairly comfortable with it, hence why I’m recommending it over other stuff. It’s well worth the money IMHO. Rick Payton, I.T.

For using pfSense there are no mandatory support costs. It is free open source software. However, unless you have the expertise, I would recommend highly to get the support from one of the vendors who develop the project. ___ List mailing list List@lists.pfsense.org https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
[pfSense] support costs?
Aloha, I'm working on a list of firewalls that can act as a VPN endpoint to recommend for a small remote waste water treatment plant (it currently runs a consumer level netgear router, with VNC port forwarded back to the HMI), and I need to factor in support subscription costs. Is there a direct e-mail address I can hit at either Netgate or ESF to discuss cost and what's included, or is it ok to discuss it here? Mahalo, Rick Payton, I.T.

Re: [pfSense] RRD 1-month vs 3-month
Yeah I didn't like the way RRD graphs handled it either, so I just went with the vnstat2 package and called it a day. Granted my needs (wants, really) are rather basic, I'm just looking for total overall data, and vnstat2 filled that need quite nicely. --Rick -Original Message- From: List [mailto:list-boun...@lists.pfsense.org] On Behalf Of Dave Warren Sent: Friday, May 30, 2014 7:14 AM To: mi...@tnweb.com; pfSense Support and Discussion Mailing List Subject: Re: [pfSense] RRD 1-month vs 3-month On 2014-05-30 09:54, Michael Hardrick wrote: Graphs are usually rounded off to the 90th percentile (or similar). Graphs of one-day, one-week, one-month, one-year will reflect more of a relative percentage of the total bandwidth for the period. A bit of rounding is fine, but we're not talking about that, I'm seeing over double the in-pass, and nearly double the in-block. That's a *huge* difference. (Original stats below, for reference) 1 month IPv4 in-pass: 11.30GB 3 month IPv4 in-pass: 5.33GB 1 month IPv4 out-pass: 5.37GB 3 month IPv4 out-pass: 5.11GB 1 month IPv4 in-block: 13.12GB 3 month IPv4 in-block: 7.13GB 1 month IPv6 in-block: 4.53GB 3 month IPv6 in-block: 4.28GB I feel like I'm missing something obvious here, but how is it possible that I've got more traffic reported in the 1-month graphs than the 3-month graphs?

Re: [pfSense] Poweredge 2850
Fan noise. While I may not have a 2850, I ran 2x 2950 III's for about 4 years, and the fan noise is LOUD, even AFTER the initial bootup. Initial bootup, those things scream like jet engines on full afterburner. Power consumption, hooked up to my kill-a-watt, idle power is around 220-250W, maxing out all 8 cores brought it to well over 350+ (I ran dual Xeon E5405's @ 2.0GHz). For pure pfsense use, your 2850 is the definition of overkill at home. Like Chris Bagnall stated previously, this is a moot point if you plan on running multiple virtual machines under your hypervisor of choice, although 4GB of ram is rather limiting in that regard. --mauirixxx From: List [mailto:list-boun...@lists.pfsense.org] On Behalf Of Brian Caouette Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2014 6:00 AM To: pfSense Support and Discussion Mailing List Subject: Re: [pfSense] Poweredge 2850 Are we talking fan noise?

Granted, it'd be entirely appropriate if you were routing multiple gig transits in a datacentre environment where the power consumption might be justified, but in a home environment, you're just burning through electricity for the sake of it. Of course, if you're going to run pfSense as a VM under a hypervisor with several other VMs, then I take all the above back :-) Kind regards, Chris Not to mention that if I ran a PE 2850 at home there would probably be complaints about the noise!!!
