It's just asking you to identify which ports on your card are being used for which cables. You just hit "a" for automatic with the cables unplugged, then plug in whichever cable it asks you for, and it'll do the rest. That's all you have to do on the command line. From that point forward, you get to use the browser interface, which is a supercharged version of the router interfaces you've probably used before.
It's vastly more feature rich, lets you install tons of plugins, see super detailed logs and charts of your data usage, and it's all way faster than a sluggish router interface. I made a couple rookie mistakes during this setup that slowed me down, but didn't take too long to solve:.
If even those two things above sound hard to troubleshoot to you, that shouldn't turn you off trying pfSense! That's because resources for figuring out small problems like these are abundant. If you have a problem, you can Google for an answer.
Everyone in the community is using the same software, which is a big help. I'd argue pfSense is actually easier to troubleshoot than an off-the-shelf router, because even two Netgear models will have differences in firmware and UI and so on. Trying to find advice about your exact problem on your exact model on a support forum is a special hell that pfSense can help you escape.
If you have old PC parts around, even dating back as far as Sandy Bridge in , consider turning them into a router. If you want something more compact, Zotac Z-Boxes are a popular choice, though some pfSense users warn that the Realtek network adapters in Z-Boxes can't handle heavy routing loads, so they aren't ideal for gigabit connections.
Intel's network adapters are preferred. The fitlet2 is an even smaller, more specialized popular choice. I'm so happy. I'm now getting close to full use out of my fiber gigabit connection. The speed seems to fluctuate a bit based on time of day, but where before I couldn't seem to pass Mbps, I'm now regularly cresting Mbps. Big downloads from Steam are now way faster, and don't affect any other computers on the network. I'm only just starting to play with some of pfSense's more advanced capabilities.
I installed plugins called pfBlockerNG for blocking invasive ads and pop-ups, and another called Traffic Totals that makes some fun charts of my internet usage.

It will find ,as its name implies, Everything even deleted files. It has many other options for searching. Hope this will help. I never had any idea there was any danger. After reading this article, I emptied the Download folder into another folder. Actually, I should take some time and move those files into more appropriate folders. Since my old Win 7 machines run with a standard user for everyone and an admin user for me, downloading a file while logged in as admin made it difficult for other users, either on the machine or on the network, to find these files.
Problem solved! I believe it to be number 1 on the list above. But whatever or wherever it is located, I have never lost a file that I downloaded. And, as Leo suggests, if it is an important download, I move it to a separate, distinct folder and back it up!
Makes typing these entries into various open and save dialog boxes MUCH easier. Some programs have their own default Downloads folder which is can be changed inside the program. You can move the Downloads or any folder using Windows File Explorer. This article explains how to move the My Documents folder but it works for any folder. I moved Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Music, and Videos inside the OneDrive folder so all my personal files are synchronized on the cloud and are on all of my computers.
I have two Download folders. Other files in my Download folders are installation files for various programs. Never know if I might need or want it. Everything else I download goes into the appropriate folder. When I set up a new machine, I can often bring over the dozens of programs that the old one used; and in some cases I can use the same setup files used in the original machine.
Image backups are pretty big, and sooner or later you run out of space for the old ones….
