Help with pfSense for N00B

[jds_uniphase 0]

hello,

i followed the pfsense guide and was able to successfully get pfsense working.

i now have 3 questions . .. .

 

1. when i choose my server, why is it recommended to do so by country instead of a specific server? maybe it's my imagination, but things seem quicker and with fewer geo-location problems when i stick with one server.

 

2. is the pc client the best way to pick out the fastest server?

when i look at the availabe choices, should i be looking at the number of stars or latency or load?

on my pc, there are no stars given for the us servers.

 

3. i was using sirius, but when it went down i had to choose another. 

instead of resetting everything and starting from step 1 of the guide to redo the whole process, what are the steps to follow when i want to change from one server to another?

 

 

thank you.

I believe you have to export a new openvpn file and re-import it to your pfsense box but dont quote me on that.

thanks for the response.

i don't really know how to re-import that file. 

when i set it up originally, i had to cut and paste the individual certificates and ip address and port into pfsense.

 

does that mean i can just cut and paste the new certificates etc. and enter the new ip address into part 3 of the guide?
