Greetings all. I have a customer who's putting in a DSL line for us to be able to better support them (we're currently dialing in). In doing so, they are somewhat breaking their corporate rules. Even with their current dial in setup, we have to call them and tell them to plug it in when we want access.
Well now with the DSL line going in, even though I'm throwing pfSense in, they are now even more concerned with security. What I was wondering was if it was possible to have pfSense start with the WAN interface down so that we could then call them -> dial in -> connect to pfSense and manually fire up the WAN interface. As far as I can tell, I can issue an ifconfig fxp1 down command from the web interface (or by sshing in), but should the machine be rebooted the interface starts up automatically. Is what I'm looking for do-able? Thanks! -Marty
