I fire up firefox and try to go to google.

It goes to the captive portal and I log on ( will change this to an accept button )

And it goes directly to the citrix logon.

I try to go to google, it does nothing.
I try to ssh to our web server, it does nothing.
I try any website other than the VDI.... It does nothing..
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Thats great TT, how wonderful is Pf... and @SYNACK... PF is no longer funky with PPTP, there is a new version that is fine! - If you install 2.2-BETA0 (i386) PPTP has been improved as have many other features.

The BETA is going to be released very soon.

Ah, it was still on their known issues list last time I checked so I was weary, beta also makes me a bit weary, in the non-google-BS meaning.

@cpjitservices - How do I get a hold of an iso for that?

just go to

pfSense Open Source Firewall Distribution - Home

download the latest beta, or download the normal i386 ISO and download the update zip file and do a firmware upgrade.

Couldn't find anything äbove 2.0.1 Through the site hence the question, hidden link somewhere or am I being blind?

I'll dig out the link for you today.

Here's the link of the BETA we are currently testing....

http://snapshots.pfsense.org/FreeBSD...18-1928.iso.gz

It's a live CD - so you don't have to install it but there is an installer if you do want to install it.

Thanks, I'll see how nicely or otherwise it plays with Hyper-V.

Never tried it in Hyper-V because I don't have a hyper-v environment, but it works in VMWare and Virtualbox.

I found out pFs can be made to run on a Watchguard.

Fortunatly I have 3 redundant ones behind my desk :) Just waiting for a 4GB CF card to do the install :)

Yes Indeed it can, your'e a so and so though @twin--turbo - I've been waiting ages to get hold of one of those to try out this theory!! :cool:

In the watchguards some of them have an IDE interfac so you could always use a standard HD if need be.

Yep two X5500e-Peak and an SSL500 ( different ram and CPU ).

They don't have the standard HDD interface for the IDE but I can get an adapter if need be. could put DansG on it with a HDD...

And with the mial filtering I can built a UTM on dedicated HW rather than on a Virtual Machine...

Will keep you all posted in a new thread when the ball starts rolling.

Please do... something I've been wanting to try for a while.

I'll look forward to the new thread. A HW UTM sounds good!

@cpjitservices - Won't even detect interfaces properly with the legacy adapters under Hyper-V, useless to me as we use Hyper-V and I'm not making a whole new VM server just for this. Found a custom zeroshell one that actually boots and even uses the synthetic adapters Rick's Blog: Exciting adventures with ZeroShell and Hyper-V

The only one that actually seems to have made any effort to be remotely compatible with Hyper-V.

Probably too late, but there are drivers available for Hyper-V's synthetic NIC and IDE/SCSI controllers in FreeBSD-based OSs.
