It's a lot more if you do it all manually, however for most "common" use cases, one should probably go with automatically generated config files. For instance pfSense provides you with single-click configs for any target plat

I see, thanks for the details. You know, it happens, to everyone, however good or experienced; what matters for a company's (and individual) sake is how we respond to mistakes. You guys responded well, that was resilient. The next step
