pfSense on Thinkpad

hi is the usb nic performing ok for long term use? with 5-10 clients

i have a tp link adapter but it is not detected by pfsense . i don't know why? any idea

Thank you, very useful sir

very nice tutorial thank you.

Great video, thank you !

This was easy to follow and get working! However, sadly, the laptop I was repurposing needed two USB ethernet cards, and it cut my internet speed by 2/3 and I couldn't get it working any better than that :( I was really bummed by this, was looking forward to having this level of control

Simple step by step, sounds like a teacher ,great stuff thanks

Put the thing in the thing lol

Can pfsense be install alongside windows or do i need to format HD and have only pfsense on it? Thanks for your video.

I watched this thing and made me get the thing installed on my thing ,Now my other things are connected to my new thing , I love the things👽

I think Jaren should have used ExpressCard LAN and the internal LAN port rather than using any USB's!

Excellent! The greatest tutorial on installing pfSense I have seen with an unmanaged switch. Thanks.

This is one of my favorite videos ever. Just the fact that there is no fancy editing and gives me the information that I need in a simple way to understand is charming.

😂thanks for the simplification, now it's much more clear! keep making move videos like this!😂

Hi , I followed your instructions everything works perfectly but the speed I’m getting is only 40mbps but if I do a speed test in pfsense shell i get 500mbps . Is there a setting that I should look at ? I was told using a usb to Ethernet might the issue due to translation .

if the old laptop that i want to use for this is capable of handling multiple VMS, can i set up PSFsense in one of the VMS, and continue to use the other resources for mundane reasons?

This is sooooo sick. Found a 7 dollar router at value village and never knew about all these open firmwares ! I flashed dd wrt onto it, but this video has me inspired to tinker with my t420.

Thanks.

@Jarren awesome video!!! Instead of using a switch can I connect a router directly to my LAN and assign a router a static? Or do i have to have a switch?

Thank you very much Jaren! Been looking for a video on Pfsense for a while that breaks it down in simple terms. You did a great job. Now I can dust off that old laptop and give it a whirl. Cheers mate!

wow i like it.

Seriously this was a fantastic lecture I have benefited alot from it

Great video however if you have a smart/managed switch you can just trunk traffic to the laptops internal nic. Basically you don't need a usb nic if you trunk.

Thanks for the demo and info

I think you will have broad cast strom from isp router and from pfsense aswell.

And i want a full series on Pfsense Sir !!
please do it sir !

quality type video !! thank you sir from
Bangladesh

Have you noticed any difference switching over to pfsense? would like to know thoughts.

Does usb nic word well. N how about the laptop i am also thinking of making pfsense out of my laptop.
