I don’t know if you have seen this. The tv stations in LA use augmented reality to show street and freeways superimposed on helicopter shots.  When the copter moves, the map moves, when the shot zooms in or zooms out the map moves accordingly. Good use of technology. LA stations love car chases and I am addicted.  This technology puts these chases in perspective.

Have a great weekend.

Instead of PfSense on a Kanagroo, I would get a Ubiquiti Edgerounter,  The Kanagroo is too under powered and unlikely to support multiple GbE streams.  The dock Ethernet port is 100 baseT. You can get a simple Edgerouter for under 60 at Amazon.  

As soon as I have some time after Turkey Day, I am get one as my firewall.
