Manage your Bandwidth - PFSENSE

Manage your Bandwidth PFSense is by far one of the best gateway solutions out there in my opinion.  I am going to show you one of the many reasons why I think this product is best of breed and that is the Bandwidth limiter. PFSense uses Free BSD as it base, it has included the  DummyNet  software project which allows you to simulate/enforce queues and bandwidth limitations, delays, packet losses, and multipath effects, it also implements a variant of Weighted Fair Queuing called WF2Q+. Now that may sound like a lot of reading to get up to speed with but I assure you it is quite easy to set up and maintain, let me show you how. First off I will take a bandwidth test to see what I get as unregulated bandwidth. I have a cable service from Brighthouse that is 50Mb download and 5 Mb upload. The image tells the tale, I am getting 50/5 as and result of my speed test using Brighthouse’s Speed test. Now let’s get started with our limiting, we will need to create a Upload and a Down

What is an intrusion prevention system?

I ntrusion Prevention and Detection System Basics An Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) is a network security/threat prevention technology that examines network traffic flows to detect and prevent vulnerability exploits. Vulnerability exploits usually come in the form of malicious inputs to a target application or service that attackers use to interrupt and gain control of an application or machine. Following a successful exploit, the attacker can disable the target application (resulting in a denial-of-service state), or can potentially access to all the rights and permissions available to the compromised application. Prevention The IPS often sits directly behind the firewall and it provides a complementary layer of analysis that negatively selects for dangerous content. Unlike its predecessor the Intrusion Detection System (IDS)—which is a passive system that scans traffic and reports back on threats—the IPS is placed inline (in the direct communication path betwee

Fix slow boot times in Windows 10

Fix slow boot times in Windows 10 Similar process on Windows 8 before, Windows 10 uses a hybrid boot to enable fast boot times. When you shut the system down, apps and app processes are terminated, but the Windows kernel itself is hibernated to allow for a faster restart. In theory, it's great, but it seems to still be very slow for some Windows 10 users. Disable it by searching for Power Options in the Start Menu and running the matching Control Panel applet, then in the left-hand pane click Choose what the power buttons do. Click Change settings that are currently unavailable, scroll down and un-tick Turn on fast start-up, then click save changes. This should prevent very slow starts on affected PCs. Some users report that if they subsequently ; When using a dual-booting between Windows 10 and Windows 7, switching fast start-up off will also fix the problem where Windows 7 checks the disks each time you boot it: With fast start-up enabled, the earl
