VPN Tunnel 'Connection Status' shows IP's under POLICY NAME instead of the actual Policy Name
Hello: I've connected my laptop to the office router using the VPN Client Lite software. My issue is that when in the Router's WEB Interface and I select 'VPN' and then select 'Connection Status'; what I see is the Remote Client's IP Address under the POLICY NAME instead of the actual Policy Name. Is there any way to have the Policy Name displayed as it is for my Box to Box VPN Tunnels? Thank you for your comments and support.

Hello. In /Network Configuration/Lan Setup/Lan Groups/Known PCs and Devices Is it possible to set a name for a known mac address without reserving an IP address for it Example : "unknown* 192.168.3.32 c0:ff:d4:80:a7:d4 GROUP1 Default" Any help is welcomeDual wan port link aggregation
I have a generic pfsense firewall machine with 2 wan and 2 lan ports. I know how to set up a load balancing system on both wan ports. But I wonder how to set up a link aggregated system on both wan ports (not lan ports) as my isp is willing to offer link aggregation on both wan ports. I know this should technically be possible, because I use a FreeBSD machine behind the firewall on which I also use link aggregation, what can be setup in the /etc/rc.conf file, which is very easy to do. As there are no menu options for wan link aggregation in pfSense itself I suppose it can be done trough the command line interface. But pfSense differs from FreeBSD as /etc/rc.conf seems not to be excisting. Is there anybody here who can tell me how to setup dual wan port link aggregation on my pfSense machine? Thank you in advance for any comments
