Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Pfsense firewall in Production
- Thread starter nev_neo
- Start date
The most current pf in OpenBSD is multi-treaded. The pfSense guys have said they intend to port it to FreeBSD asap, but I haven't heard a time frame.
Also, you definitely do benefit from a second core in pfSense. The box will be far more responsive when under heavy routing/inspecting workloads. There is a lot more going on than just pf inspecting packets.

OP here,
Just wanted to clarify that I wasn't getting rid of the ASA, just moving it to our main production environment for IPv6 connectivity and also active-passive backup.
BTW.. the pfsense firewall has been running pretty well for the past few weeks. Only issue I seem to have is loading any snort rules on causes snort to bomb out (does not come back up after a restart).

Its kind of unfortunate. What it comes down to is you can have a 256 core cpu but you're completely limited in throughput by the clock speed only.
For instance. Clock speeds being equal... and i7 wont out perform an i3 in this use.
