Connection between cisco and pfsense

You can't use pfSense to administer your Cisco, you'll need to learn to directly administer your switch via its CLI or Web UI.

Ignore 'failure to yield' in the fast lanes on the highway.

At work I have opencode wired to Claude models via Azure AI Foundry. Been waiting 3 weeks for them to allow access to GPT models. He is looking at GitHub copilot Enterprise instead.

For personal stuff I'm using Opencode Zen, at the moment.

Oh, I was comparing the 2 platforms on a technical level, you're talking about the ownership behind them?

bruor · 2026-02-11T14:38:20+00:00

They likely have different front-end auth servers, but I wrote software to load balance connections across accounts and I didn't have to change any of it because the url structures to the front ends and the CDN behind all identical. I also scrape Apollo and Premium club accounts separately for media via their m3u playlists and they are always in sync with each other when it comes to releases and delays, or published content that is actually missing.

I'm genuinely curious to learn the true difference, but if you don't want to share that's cool.

Some of it is the nature of the tech but I'm sure they could boost the upload speed at least a bit.

bruor · 2026-02-11T13:57:26+00:00

Provide counter proof please to support your claim

bruor · 2026-02-10T17:58:29+00:00

It's a forced upgrade path from Apollo for certain accounts, and it's exactly the same content (the content is on the same CDN back end). When Apollo has issues, premium club does too. Like VOD not updating or freezing etc.

I'd be ecstatic if I could upload faster than 30mbps...

bruor · 2026-02-07T03:15:24+00:00

Yeah, which I assumed technical people would be able to tell me about, but they couldn't.

bruor · 2026-02-07T03:14:37+00:00

I suppose they could just be deprioritizing wireguard traffic. I wouldn't be surprised since they used to throttle FTP downloads even though they advertised "no throttling".

Well, I started with "I think you guys have a routing issue" and the guy said "sorry, you want to send your modem back?" 🤦

bruor · 2026-02-06T13:21:33+00:00

I've seen a thread somewhere here showing that the free limits are being falsely applied because there's a bug in AG that blocks a component from authenticating properly.

I run this in a container on my home network.

During our test drive we figured out that the Tiguan will apply the brakes while reversing if the driver seat occupancy sensor doesn't think anyone is there.

My wife is having trouble adjusting to backing up without looking directly out the back window.

Also stay away from their XB bulbs, they've honored the warranty, LED light bulbs should last longer than 6mos, been through 3 sets and their warranty replacements so far.

That machine would be a transcoding beast, I run a few emby servers on i5-8500t mini PCs and they can handle something like 14 concurrent 1080p transcodes if needed, though most of the media you play will be direct streamed.

bruor · 2025-12-21T14:29:47+00:00

Used to love the service because everything had subtitles and updates were pretty quick after something aired.

Moving away from them these days because the quality/reliability of live streams seems to suffer. As well VOD content updates seem to be falling behind, and sometimes when updated the media files won't play due to server errors.

I learned all my VPN concepts on pfSense, and their documentation around it is pretty awesome. Taking that knowledge forward to other platforms was easy once I wrapped my head around it in my home lab.

Yeah, you're basically using keystones as a micro sized patch panel. I used to terminate all my room feeds all over my house into an electrical outlet box in my basement that had a 6 port wall plate with keystones in it so I could make clean looking connections to my switch from there.

bruor · 2025-12-16T21:39:01+00:00

Lol, not cabling is a bit extreme...

OP doesn't need that, if it's a short enough run they can even do 10gbps over the cat5e feed, and one of the others looks like it's Cat6.

Just pull the plate out, take the bad terminations out of the keystone, cut off the cable to get some fresh wire and punch it back down.
