Also the SIA210?
Where did you order yours?

Sweet, thx!

Nobody?
Will all hardware be supported? For example: i cant seem to find the 82574L NIC on the compatibility list, but it is mentined in other topic as a part in their hardware...

Anyway who has experience with Supermicro rack server (Dual Atom series)?

I'm looking to install pfsense on this server:

Pfsense wil be user for proxy, vlan (& maybe content filtering) for +- 25 concurrent users.

Whoops! Didn't know that pfsense doesn't support N. That does explain why I couldn't find it
A desktop is a possibility, but I was looking for a small all in one appliance (no moving parts and power consumption).

Thx for the reply!

I have a pfsense (old HP server) on the job, but would love to have one at home. Cant find a complete kit tough.
Requirements:
- serve a home network for 3 people ( only 2 to 3 concurrent devices)
- almost everything is connected through wifi
- proxy & dansguardian & firewall rules
- virusscanner
- powerfull (!) wifi N in the same enclosure
- max € 300

I took a look at netgate: no wifi N and with shipping to belgium to expensive.
I took a look at old firebox appliances: couldnt find one and no wifi
I took a look at the pfsense appliance  vendors page. Wifi seems a dealbreaker.

Anyone? Thx!

//edit
Assembly of the parts, is part of the fun. So doesn't need to be assembled kit.

thx! will check it out!

In squidguard you can chose to use "safesearch". Is there such an option in dansguardian? Can't find it.
Google doens't give me a clear answer, but some code from other forums.

Btw: Chosing between squidguard & dansguardian is like tomato/tomato? :-)

Ok, fixed.
Thanks to the replies above!

Thx for the replies.
It is set to transparent.

I wil test these things tonight.

I have an pfsense machine installed with squid (for throttling) & lightsquid & dansguardian.

But the last package ( dansguardian ) is up and running, but doens't filter the "adult" sites.  Actually, it doens't filter any site!
The naughtyness in the "default group" (under groups) is set to 50.
Enable dansguardian is checked :-)

I've read this topic: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=47856.0

What did I miss?

We do not have a domain controller on the students network, so implementing this would be a huge hassle knowing that I only have 8 hours a week to maintain these pc's.
Anyway, thx allready!

maybe a additional question?
If a package states "beta", does that mean ot really isn't ready for a production server?

It's in Belgium. Didn't you noticed it in my writing? :-)

Anyway, pfsense supports caching, so why not use it?

The only sites we should block are porn related. Everything else is needed by teachers (youtube, social networking,...) for the lessons. In the past I used Smoothwall (& dansguardian) to block sites (porn, audio & video streaming,..). But teachers were complaining all the time they couldn't access websites...

Sheduled reboot would be a precautionary measure. Don't know if necessary.

To many questions in one topic? Do I need to split this up?

Thx!
