Re: [pfSense] USB question
For front USB ports (on a traditional case -- small form factor may have the front ports directly connected too), the best way is to open the case and unplug them from the motherboard. For the ports on the motherboard itself, the glue and/or covers that other people suggested are likely your best option. The benefit of just unplugging the front USB ports is that if you need them again you can just open the case and plug them in again.

Re: [pfSense] USB question
Or a quick google search turned up a few options. https://www.google.com/search?q=usb+cover&source=univ&tbm=shop&tbo=u&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjGiNCY2NrSAhVJziYKHTwPDVIQsxgIHA&biw=1920&bih=1009 The port blockers (https://www.google.com/shopping/product/2057481274135843292?q=usb+cover&biw=1920&bih=1009&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj_1_vS2NrSAhUJ7iYKHfasD8sQ8wIIqAIwAQ) look interesting, but I'd bet they could be fished out with a paperclip. ___ pfSense mailing list https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list Support the project with Gold! https://pfsense.org/gold
