=== 6. Final Check and Preparing for the Next Steps === At this point, '''pfSense''' is fully installed, and the basic configuration is complete. Here are some final steps and checks: # It’s a good idea to restart your cable modem when you make these changes, especially if it was previously connected to another router. # You might want to reset the internet connection on the device you’re using to access the '''pfSense''' web interface, especially if it was connected to a different network before. # Before we move forward to setting up additional features (like ad-blocking), make sure your internet connection is stable and working as expected. # Test your internet connection by browsing the web from a device connected to the LAN. # Remember, you can now manage everything through the web interface. You shouldn’t need to directly connect to the '''pfSense''' device with a monitor and keyboard again unless something breaks. Put the keyboard, mouse, and monitor plugged into that '''pfSense''' device away; we’re (hopefully) never touching that again. '''If you are, that means something bad has occurred.''' # If you encounter any issues, re-check everything you did. '''Congratulations!''' Your '''pfSense''' router is now set up and ready for use. Now the real fun begins. :) <span id="setting-up-freedns-for-dynamic-dns"></span>
