Practicum 2 Journal 9 - January 14, 2014

So today we were finally able to get pfSense working mostly the way that is needed, we just aren't able to get it to work correctly for port forwarding. What I mean by that is that we CAN forward ports in and out. But when we allow all ports outgoing (from the network to the internet I mean) then it works fine, when we restrict to only web browsing ports (such as port 80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS) then it either does not work or is SUPER slow for loading things.

Running things through VLANs and port forwarding is starting to get a bit confusing and above my head, but luckily after doing some research I start to understand the bits that I need to, it is really cool what VLANs are capable of.
