I recently moved and can only get a 12meg internet connection.. I have done some research and I noticed my ISP support MLPPP. I called them and they said the hardware in my area supports MLPPP and is turned on..

My question is

I would have two DSL Modems plugged in my pFsense box..

Which one would give me my IP? Can I order one as static and the other dynamic?

Would this give me a "true" 24meg connection?

Thanks!

No not a requirement, some ISPs use it from my understanding.

But yeah its should be pretty simple! Connect your 2 different connections and then create the group, etc.

The guys on the pfsense board more than happy to help you I am sure, I am very active on that board as well ;) And the guys there are GREAT!!

Thanks for your help.. i posted hoping you would see "pFsense" lol..

So if I did that, would I have a 24 meg connection or just 2 12s with load balancing? Which gateway would determine my IP? Would I still be able to use dyndns with this?

Also, do you think I could do it with off of 2 residential lines? They are coming out of the same hardware.. Are they having to do something special to my account?

You should get aggregate bandwidth, not just load balancing.

Not really a DSL guy, and don't have access to that connection type to play with.

You might want to tweak your MTU settings on the interfaces.. But the pfsense board would be the place to ask - there are a few people here that are using pfsense - I have converted quite a few over I think ;) But not sure any of them would be doing MLPPP.

You using or going to be using 2.01 or 2.1 betas? I have been running the 2.1 line since first came out and been very stable.. But they are sticklers about the details before they release. So could be some time yet until 2.1 is released for production. But more than stable enough for even production work if you ask me. And per the board there are quite a few people using it in production setups not just lab/home/play/etc

Great, I will sign up on their forums.. Yeah, I used monowall forever but after seeing your wealth of knowledge and the great things you say about pFsense made me convert lol I bought a Firebox x1000 and converted it over.. I am running 2.0.1 right now.. I might have to upgrade.. i can just use a different cfcard and if it doesn't work change it back lol

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
