I max out my pppoe FTTH install on pfsense with no issues

Dude! Are your nails made out of Adamantium?! :)

I have two picks - A soft yellow one, which is slightly thinner and a thicker blue one. The switch was too “stuck together” for the yellow and kept bending it, and too weak for the blue one… I had to improvise and use a mixture of the two. I didn’t realize I was marring the plastic in the process though. :(

Do you have the LE? I suspect nails might work on my old SD, but the new one (possibly just the LE from the comments I’ve read) is night and day tougher to open… at least mine is :(

I really get turned off when people post a picture and walk away with little to no detail. What are you trying to accomplish?

I run two pfsense routers and use CARP. 1gbps/50 cable modem with 5 static ips available on both pfsenses, and a 1 gbps symmetrical FTTH with 1 static ip also available on both pfsenses (but uses CARP to know which is “live” - it uses pppoe, which makes this possible with 1 ip).

My current single point of failure is my single main switch. Works very well though. I’ve had 100% uptime for over a year!
