The following, when entered into a browsers console, will result in all of the links on the page being presented in a table format:

var x = document.querySelectorAll("a");
var myarray = []
for (var i=0; i<x.length; i++){
var nametext = x[i].textContent;
var cleantext = nametext.replace(/\s+/g, ' ').trim();
var cleanlink = x[i].href;
myarray.push([cleantext,cleanlink]);
};
function make_table() {
    var table = '<table><thead><th>Name</th><th>Links</th></thead><tbody>';
   for (var i=0; i<myarray.length; i++) {
            table += '<tr><td>'+ myarray[i][0] + '</td><td>'+myarray[i][1]+'</td></tr>';
    };
 
    var w = window.open("");
w.document.write(table); 
}
make_table()

PFsense setup reminders

  1. When installing use BIOS (if it is not, reinstall with the other option and update this)
  2. Make sure that the Network adapter connected to WAN is "Bridged" -- and "Bridged" should be set to the right adapter if using VMware Workstation (it often uses the wrong one, so check)
  3. Timezones :)
  4. If using as a DNS, make sure these options are set in Services/DNS Resolver

Instead of wget in Powershell, use the following will increase the speed BY A LOT:

(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadFile("{LINK TO DOWNLOAD}", "{OUTFILE}")

Like for example, the following will download and install Wireguard:

(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadFile("https://download.wireguard.com/windows-client/wireguard-installer.exe", "$env:temp\wireguard-installer.exe") | Start-Process "$env:temp\wireguard-installer.exe"

Install open-vm-tools with the following (rhel is used below, for deb change dnf with apt)

sudo dnf install open-vm-tools -y
sudo dnf install open-vm-tools-desktop -y
# And if using i3 add the following to "~/.config/i3/config" and restart the vm if copy paste isnt working:
exec --no-startup-id vmware-user-suid-wrapper
