@travisdh1 I have some reading to do.
md + LVM + XFS. What's md?
XFS and btrfs. What's btrfs?
I should be able to fire up a VM (CentOS?) and experiment with this before I move to a physical box?
Any favorite distros?
EDIT: To clarify, this is for my home lab. I won't do this at work until I can break it and fix it. I haven't had a Linux box under my fingers for years, - many years.
I don't count appliances & preconfigured, vendor supplied VMs and boxes. Those I have in spades.
Thanks

@dustinb3403 No, trust me... she was serious... AND she asked that AFTER being in the computer on Teamviewer.

I'm about to hang up and call back and see if I get someone else to answer the phone.

If she asks who you use for your TCP/IP, tell her AOL

LOL! That's awesome!

Sorry. I let out my cruel

Next my SIP provider will try to tell me 'It's on your end'

OPNsense 19.1 is now based on HardenedBSD instead FreeBSD.

Interesting. Nice update.

My brother and I are pushing this out for our replacement firewalls this weekend. <<crossing fingers>>

If your configuration is recent and the OS level is 12.x or better, out of the box the proxies enabled should be http, https, pop, smtp, ftp & tcp/udp. The settings are quite generic and you'll want to examine the live log as you attempt to connect looking for deny's. You may need to bump up the logging in the individual policies to catch your issue. The exception(s) can then be added to the proxy creating the issue.

I use OpenVPN as a client and connect to my network so I can't help or comment on your product.

I grabbed a Galaxy Tab A in November. Works great for eBooks. 50 bucks at Verizon....$10/mo. added onto my cell bill which will be cancelled as soon as I can without penalty

Release - XCP-ng 8.0

The big release is here. After about a month of QA on the Release Candidate, XCP-ng 8.0 is now available and can be safely used in production environments.

Looks like I get to see how the upgrade process goes.

I've been running beta for about a month, the upgrade was as smooth as any other minor upgrade using the ISO. It's a bummer the yum updates don't work for major upgrades, but it's not that big of a hassle.

I'm still on 7.4 and am waffling between going to 7.6 or 8. I have E5540 Xeons and I'll need to check the compatibility lists 1st.

You probably wont find it on any compatibility lists because it's so old. I have (2) E5649 in my home lab and both 7.6 and 8.0 work/ed flawlessly.

It's an old HP. They had just done away with the hand crank. I have no complaints with this system. I've seen quite a few posts on the XCP-ng forum with odd behavior with older systems. Either way, I have current backups.
