UPDATE 2020-05-19 8:22 PM<\/p>\n
Services are back online, and the new hardware NIC is installed. We should be good to go!<\/p>\n
——————————————-<\/p>\n
For the last few hours, we’ve had intermittent connectivity issues interrupting all services.<\/p>\n
We may encounter this some more until I end up getting some additional hardware for the router. This should be arriving on Tuesday, May 19th.<\/p>\n
My personal home network currently utilizes a custom built pfsense box<\/a>. Several months ago, I had two networks on it: internal, and external. Pretty basic. For the best performance, I bought a dual gigabit port PCIe network card, with an Intel chipset.<\/p>\n During that point, I had the server hosted at another location. Once we had to relocate the server back to my house several months ago, I needed to add another network to the router. Specifically, a DMZ<\/a>. Unfortunately, I don’t have a switch that can do VLAN trunking<\/a> (yet), so I had to utilize the third port available on the router. This was the integrated network port on the motherboard.<\/p>\n I was hoping to avoid utilizing it at all, since it used a RealTek network chipset, and this is highly discouraged. The drivers, and overall performance, of RealTek chipsets are really poor for pfsense instances. However, I had hoped it would suffice long enough for a network upgrade at the house.<\/p>\n Today, that hope ran out. The interface ended up crashing, and not coming back up without a restart of the whole pfsense OS. This was due to increased network traffic that the server was making, which was slightly abnormal.<\/p>\n I’ve ordered another dual gigabit port PCIe card, with an Intel chipset again (because these are rock solid under load). We should be good to go once I install it. It should arrive on Tuesday.<\/p>\n In the meantime, I’m going to keep a few extra services down for the time being. The game services are the highest priority to keep online \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sorry for the service interruptions, and thank you for your patience.<\/p>\n – seifer44<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" UPDATE 2020-05-19 8:22 PM Services are back online, and the new hardware NIC is installed.
