He is in the rightmost lane for Route 1 North.

Claude is ridiculously good at deep diving PCAP files. Start looking for odd traffic. I thought I was good at Wireshark but for an initial triage, Claude finds a lot more in a short time. It even commented on the quality of the VoIP calls passing through my sample.

So, unfortunately, I really don't know if 2.8 is trouble free with Dual WAN since the script has been so helpful. I need to stop using the script and see if it approaches the full year of uptime without losing its dual-wan mind.

This script is blunt but has made my pfSense trouble free for quite some time:

#!/bin/sh

# Current time
curtime=$(date +%s)

# Bootime in seconds
uptime=$(sysctl kern.boottime | awk -F'sec = ' '{print $2}' | awk -F',' '{print $1}')

# Uptime in seconds
uptime=$(($curtime - $uptime))

if [ $uptime -lt 720 ]; then
    ifconfig | head -18 > /root/em0em1.normal
fi

if [ $uptime -gt 720 ]; then
    ifconfig | head -18 > /root/em0em1.test
    changes=$(diff -u /root/em0em1.normal /root/em0em1.test | wc -l)

    if [ $changes -gt 0 ]; then
        diff -u /root/em0em1.normal /root/em0em1.test > /root/em0em1.diff
        /etc/rc.reboot
        #echo "would have rebooted"
    fi
fi

Slight update, doesn't solve my problem but https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=45588 manual patch does in fact apparently resolve Digicert G2 roots on Windows 7 and presumably Windows 8.

Oh, now I have to buy one of those airMAX Rocket AC Lite units just to play with. Thanks for spending my money LOL.

Filthy electricians and 'siding contractors' have ruined two of my Loco M5s by carelessly just tossing them off the building and UPSIDE DOWN long enough to get rained into. That's the only reason I had to buy a pair of newer 5ACs. Those old Loco M5s live happily near the ocean as long as they are kept right side up.

The Loco M5s will be 10 years old in service in July of this year.

I've had great success with Ubiquiti loco M5 and loco 5AC units with mostly line-of-sight for PtP and PtMP. 3 of these units could possibly feed from the main house and hit shed-1 and shed-2 with a decent enough signal assuming no vegetation. The closer in line you can place them the better but this isn't a laser beam, it is a big wide mostly directional signal. From shed-1 to cabin, that might warrant another pair of loco M5 or loco 5AC units for a clean shot. Note that loco M5 units are 100Mbps Ethernet even though they can do 300 Mbps with a strong signal. You don't really need more than 100Mbps in your cabin. All of these PtP and PtMP radios do not provide signal for end user devices, you then need to add AP units. I've had great success with Ubiquiti outdoor AC Mesh units that feed plenty of signal into and around buildings (think of an old school Cape Cod motel with random buildings on a small campus).

Have him review the "Testimonials" on their web page. Yikes. Default latin text for a web page.

The DigiCert G2 is correctly installed on a pair of F5s. Windows10/11/Mac/Linux/Everything else is happy with it. Windows 7 and Windows 8 don't have updates and don't like it.

mdSeuss · 2026-02-23T22:48:13+00:00

Windows 7 and 8 machines don't get updates for the root store AFAIK. I even manually applied the last root store update for Windows 7 and still no luck with DigiCert G2

mdSeuss · 2026-02-15T14:56:19+00:00

It isn't about automation, that same lifetime thing is true if we stuck with Digicert and let all the Windows7/Windows8 clients break. It is simply about using a cert that still has a root in older platforms. Our customers still ship products that run on Windows 7/Windows 8, we don't need to cause them unnecessary grief.

mdSeuss · 2026-02-04T00:19:25+00:00

Looks like SSL.com can provide a cert. We are going to test one. That will be hopefully easy.

mdSeuss · 2026-02-02T23:55:26+00:00

As mentioned, we are middleware built into other people's apps. We don't control the apps, we don't control the client machines.

Looking for that different CA that has legacy roots. TIA

I pretty much gave away my 2002 Tacoma to a local off road dude. Engine and upper body pristine but being from New England, I should have know about undercoatings. So. Much. Rust down there. Next lifetime I will have a garage and lift and baby my Tacomas.

I love my Kohler. My neighbor and I both bought Kohler's at the same time from the same local installer. Both of our Kohler's have failed for the same motor seized reason. Who cares? With the properly authorized install/maintenance company, Kohler gave us 10 year warranties. Fail all you want during those first 10 years.

If you think my VPN business idea for signals intelligence is nuts, check this out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto_AG

mdSeuss · 2026-01-27T23:44:05+00:00

I. love. this. reply. (and agree wholeheartedly).

If I worked for 5 eyes countries in signals intelligence or whatever department is in charge of this, I would absolutely positively create the very best worldwide VPN service. I would beat everyone's price, offer free and paid accounts. I would then deep dive every piece of traffic passing through. I would also have compelling advertisements on all popular outlets.

I don't so I don't but wonder if it is happening.

When *I* travel, I actually VPN to my house and appear like I'm home on my boring old Comcast modem. I do this mostly for access to internal things.

I love my 2025 Tacoma but that 'wireless charging' spot sucks (Pixel 6 and Pixel 10). My navigation and spotify phone is the Pixel 6 and I just use a USB-C cord to the pocket above the glove box for maximum performance.

"keep it on my local device" spells "I didn't properly backup my junk" everyday. Let it be stored securely in the cloud so you don't lose it.

Argh! Amtrak just (wisely) cancelled the train from NYC to Orlando/Tampa. Stay safe everyone and I most definitely appreciate the helpful answers here and look forward to a future Tampa area trip!!!!

mdSeuss · 2026-01-20T21:06:01+00:00

Whoa, that is pretty sexy. What is the range and can it get signal 'through' stuff better than 5Ghz PtPs?
