Dogs have been man's (and woman's) best friends for thousands of years. They make us laugh with their funny personalities and behaviors. In many cases, people give human emotions to their pets.
You might think that your dog can distinguish when you feel sad or happy. Dogs are intelligent animals, and they can pick up plenty of emotional cues from you. Let's find out whether a dog knows if you are feeling sad.
Do Dogs Know When You Are Sad?
Dogs are very aware of small changes or sudden changes in their owner's emotions, facial expressions, behavior and body language. It is especially the case that they are able to pick up on negative emotions. As a result, it will usually be the case that your dog is at a minimum aware that something is not quite right when you are sad.
Changes that dogs can pick up on include changes in your voice, smell, body language and facial expressions.
If your pup has ever given you a comforting lick or a reassuring snuggle when you feel a little blue, you might think that she can recognize sadness.
Many studies have found that dogs can recognize human emotions. Some researchers have found that dogs have brain capacities that are similar to toddlers, especially when it comes to understanding vocabulary, emotional intelligence, and mental abilities.
Other studies have shown that dogs are sensitive to emotional contagion, which means they will respond to your emotions without fully knowing what is happening. Emotional contagion is a form of social behavior. These emotions can be shared between a dog owner and their pup in explicit and implicit ways.
For example, when you show signs of sadness, your dog might try to mimic that same behavior. A dog doesn't understand sadness, but he can pick up some of those signs of feeling blue. Since he can spot a change in your behavior, your dog will try to provide you with a bit of comfort.
When a person comforts an individual, that is known as empathy. There is debate about whether animals can be compassionate.
Some researchers believe that animals just mimic their owner's behavior. However, you might spot a few signs of this empathic behavior in your puppy. Your dog might put his head in your lap, lick your hand, or provide an outstretched paw.
Along with that, some dogs do the opposite, and they might give you a little more space. Like some people, these dogs understand that you may need time to be alone. They will come back when they can sense that the owner is ready for their company.
Some dogs might try to cheer you up in their own way. She could drop the ball at your feet or encourage you to take her for a walk. Your dog uses different methods to distract you from any bad news. While your dog doesn't understand those sad feelings, he will try his best to divert you from those feelings.
It is important to be aware that dogs are in fact said to have the cognition of a 2 year old. So, while dogs can pick up on your sadness, there is only so much that they are able to understand. And their best role usually will be in providing support
Why Doesn't My Dog Comfort Me When I Am Sad?
It may be the case that your dog does know that you are sad but that your dog does not want to bother you. It is very common for dogs to mirror their owner's body language. In this case, you dog might be pretending to be sad as well. If you want to encourage your dog to comfort you when you are sad, you can use positive reinforcement training by rewarding your dog, with a treat, whenever your dog does come and comfort you.
If your dog doesn't show any signs of comfort when you are sad, try not to take it the wrong way. In some situations, your dog is trying to understand your emotions.
There are many reasons why your dog will not comfort you. She might feel intimidated, anxious, or confused. In some ways, the dog could feel responsible for your change in an emotional state. A few dogs might think you are okay and don't need any comfort.
Many times, your dog might just feel confused. If you are sad, your puppy probably doesn't know why you are acting that way. Your pup will turn to tilt his head and look at you. It is not that your dog doesn't love you, but he wants to assess the situation.
On the other hand, your dog could feel a little anxious. Most dogs have a routine. If you are usually a happy person, your dog expects you to act in a certain way. However, you might want to spend more time inside or cry at unexpected times when you are sad. That behavior change from you can cause your dog's anxiety levels to increase. As a result, you could notice your pooch pacing or crying to herself.
Some dogs are just intimidated by your feelings of sadness. They could think you are sick or there is another problem with you. With that, your dog could try to avoid you, especially if you cry.
Once again, your feelings of sadness could trigger an unwanted response in your pup. They might try to avoid you because they don't know how to respond to your unhappiness.
Finally, some dogs think that you are okay. He could be too preoccupied in his world and doesn't know that you are upset.
Remember that some dogs will show signs of comfort, while others might ignore you. It doesn't mean that your dog loves you any less. It might be more tied to the individual personality of your pup. People act in a similar way. Some will put on big displays of emotions, while others might feel that they don't need to provide you with any comfort.
Do Dogs Understand When Humans Cry?
There is research that has shown that dogs become distressed when their owner's cry.
If you are upset and cry, you might notice your pup responding to your actions. Dogs are sensitive to your body language, emotions, and behavior.
Your dog will react to specific cues in the environment. As a pet owner, you know that sympathy and empathy are instinctual behavior that you show towards your dog. In some ways, we hope that our fur babies provide that same level of reassurance.
If you have shown those comfort levels to your dog, it can encourage her to express those behaviors back to you. While dogs might not understand why you cry, they understand certain body language cues.
Dogs are known to distinguish between happy and angry emotions. While they don't know precisely what they mean, they can tell the difference between a happy and sad person. When you cry, your dog knows that something is wrong with your behavior.
As you cry, there is a change in your voice. There are certain areas of the brain that process how a voice sounds. Dogs have a similar "voice area" in their brains as humans. That part of the brain can process emotional information via sound. In other words, your dog does know the difference between a happy and sad voice.
Dogs use their voices, like our verbal cues, as a way to communicate with each other. You are part of the dog pack. When your voice sounds stressed or depressed, your dog will know that something is wrong with you.
Dogs explore the world with their noses. You will notice that a dog will sniff the air. When she does that, she tries to assess signals about the environment. As you cry, you're releasing pheromones into the air. Your dog can pick up that scent.
Once again, she might know why you're crying, but she can sense a change in the environment. With those clues about your emotional situation, you could see a difference in your dog's behavior.
Body language is very important in a dog pack. From the way he holds his tail to the position of the ears, body language can say a lot about how a dog feels. Your pup will notice those same cues with you. If you are lying down and crying, your dog can sense that something is not right.
All of those visual signs help your dog to determine your mood. When you cry, your body language becomes crucial for your dog. He doesn't understand your sadness, but he can pick up on any changes to your body language.
Along with sensory factors, some dogs just seem to be more attuned to their owners. There have been plenty of studies that have shown dogs can react to human emotions.
However, none have decisively answered why or how your dog knows to respond to your feelings. If your dog comforts you when you are sad, you don't need a reason why. Just allow your furry friend to try to cheer you up.
How do dogs comfort you when you are sad?
Typical ways that dogs will try to comfort you when you are sad are by actually mirroring your own body language. They may do this by doing things such as crying or whimpering or bowing their heads.
However, some dogs will respond to you being unhappy by doing things such as giving you extra attention, affection or licking away your tears.
When you are grieving, dogs can be a great source of comfort. They can provide companionship and unconditional love when you are feeling lonely and depressed. Dogs can sense when you are sad and will often try to cheer you up with their silly antics.
They may also mourn with you, sharing in your grief and offering silent support. Studies have shown that spending time with a dog can help reduce stress and anxiety, lower blood pressure, and improve overall cardiovascular health.
Dogs can also help to ease loneliness and isolation, and provide a sense of purpose and routine. For many people, a dog is a loyal friend who is always there for them, no matter what.
Dogs and depression
Something to be aware of is that since dogs tend to mirror their owner's body language, if their owner is sad for too long, it can result in the dog displaying signs of depression which can impact the health of your dog.
It is important to take measures to prevent this by doing things such as regularly exercising your dog and taking time to train and play with the dog.
Symptoms that the dog may be depressed can include not eating as much food or having a lower appetite, sleeping more than usual, avoiding eye contact, seeming to be unhappy, or being withdrawn in general.

Partner Webinar: May Cybersecurity Meetup - Safeguarding Customer Info
May Cybersecurity Meetup
FTC Safeguards Rule 2023:Compliance is not optional!
In 2022, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) revised the Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information, also known as the Safeguards Rule, to improve the protection of the data companies collect on their customers. The FTC also expanded the type of companies required to comply with the new regulations, redefining the meaning of "financial institutions" to include a broader group of businesses, including car dealerships, financial advisors, tax preparers, mortgage brokers and real estate firms, to name a few.
If you are subject to the new FTC Safeguards Rule, compliance is not optional, with fines of up to $43,000 a day possible for ignoring the regulations.
The May Cybersecurity Meetup will dive deep into the new FTC regulations and how it will impact your business. We'll talk about the Safeguards Rule requirements and how ATG managed security services align with them.
Register for the webinar and receive an initial free consultation with one of our Business Advisors to help you be compliant!
Join Alvarez Technology Group's Meetup!

The Elora Festival and Singers will celebrate their 30th anniversary with a contest, and artists are invited to submit work that can be used as the illustration for 2009 marketing material.
Minutes from a 1979 board meeting mention an art show to be run in conjunction with what was then Three Centuries Festival. In 1980, the minutes indicated that an invitational art show was being planned and presented at Elora Mill and Gallery 480. That was eventually taken over by the Elora Arts Council, and is now the popular Insights art show that takes place each summer at the Wellington County Museum and Archives. It is the longest running juried art exhibit in Ontario.
"For years, festival posters were collectible works of art," said competition juror Shirley Al, who also serves as chairman of Insights. "I know many people who have framed collections in their homes. The fact that volunteers from the Elora Festival established Insights 30 years ago is a great marriage between the origins of the two organizations. It's wonderful that the 30th anniversary will be celebrated by going back to its roots."
Three prizes will be awarded. Third place is $500, and second place is $1,000. The first place prize is $1,500, and the imagery will be used on marketing materials for the 2009 season. The deadline for submissions is Jan. 16.
The top three pieces will be unveiled at the festival launch on April 15. Submissions can be paintings, photography, and other two-dimensional art, no larger than 14 by 24 inches, vertical. Additional information and entry forms are available on the festival website, www.elorafestival.com/ART.shtml or by calling the festival office at 519-846-0331.
The 30th anniversary Elora Festival runs from July 10 to Aug. 2.

The legend of DMAA pre workouts has only grown in the last few years. And the fact this stimulant has been banned for a while makes this legend even bigger!
DMAA (1,3-dimethylamylamine) gained popularity because it was believed to enhance athletic performance and provide energy, focus, and increased motivation during workouts.
DMAA has a similar chemical structure to amphetamines, which are known to increase alertness and energy levels. As a result, DMAA was thought to have similar effects and became popular among athletes and bodybuilders as a pre-workout supplement.
In 2012, the US FDA issued a warning to consumers about the potential health risks associated with DMAA-containing supplements and urged manufacturers to remove it from their products. Today, DMAA is a banned substance in many countries and is becoming harder and harder to find. Now, while there are over 15 pre-workouts and fat burners out there that claim DMAA on their label (and I did try all of them to my knowledge), there are only a few that I would consider to actually have the 'good stuff' and all of them are seriously good pre-workouts.
So, here are the top DMAA pre-workouts and frankly probably the only ones you should even consider!
If DMAA wasn't enough, then Dark Labs decided to combine DMHA and DMAA in this monster! Crack Gold excels at elevating mood and promoting happiness. Fans of Crack Gold DMAA pre-workout will often praise its hard hitting nature, combined with serious mood elevation and euphoric feeling.
To a large extent, it is fair to say, that most fans of CRACK GOLD would not only say its the best DMAA pre workout out there, but categorically the best stim junkie pre workout period!
Key ingredients
To be fair, it is impossible to separate between CRACK and Dark Energy as the best on this list. Both are amazing pre-workouts and both deliver! Where Dark Energy excels in its happiness and mood elevation CRACK is more about laser focus and mind blowing pumps!
If these two elements of a pre workout are a priority for you, combined with long lasting positive energy, the CRACK is your go-to. And, not that it matters but the flavors are solid.
Crack Pre Workout is not for beginners, but a lot of you will be surprised to experience how smooth the experience with Crack actually is. I've seen comments where people were 'disappointed' that this pre-workout didn't hit them harder.
So, know this about this pre-workout – If you are looking for a positive, full of energy & pumps experience with laser focus, don't look any further.
Key ingredients
This list is going to be short, as we only have ONE fat burner on this list. The good news is, that it is one amazing fat burner, and arguably you can use it as a pre-workout also.
From Dark Labs, the makers of CRACK comes Herolean, extreme thermogenic fat burner.
As far as the experience, if you are a beginner, stay away from this one. Herolean is a hard hitting fat burning machine! Energy for days, mood elevation, thermogenesis and very apparent appetite suppression. To summarize, if you can handle the heat, Herolean is for you!
Key Ingredients
The latest entrant to the DMAA pre-workout category brings good focus and elevation combined with strong but productive energy flow. Users of Venom Pre Workout love the smooth energy and mood boosting qualities it brings
If pumps are high on your priority list than check out the CRACK review. Other than that, VENOM's combo of focus, and intense energy are a huge plus for any stim junkie.
Key Ingredients (Proprietary Blend)
What is a DMAA Pre Workout?
A DMAA Pre Workout is a pre workout that contains the now-banned ingredient DMAA. This is an extremely hardcore ingredient and should only be used by advanced users.
Will DMAA make you fail a drug test?
There have been no studies to show whether or not DMAA will make you fail a drug test. I personally have not heard of people failing drug tests, but you really never know.
Why are DMAA Pre Workouts banned?
The FDA believed that DMAA was a dangerous ingredient and could possibly cause harm to humans. Which is why many companies put "not for human consumption" on their tubs today.
How long these pre-workouts will be around is very hard to say. As you can see from the list below of 'historical' products, it seems as if the life expectancy of a DMAA Pre-Workout these days is shorter than a year.
If you are wondering what these feel like, you might want to give these a try before they are gone. Obviously the FDA is not a big fan of these products, so you should decide for yourself what you want to do.
A list for the best and strongest nootropic supplements made specifically to enhance you focus. These supplements are made for anyone who is having a hard time staying alert or paying attention during class or work.
An all-new updated list for the best pre workouts of 2022. Everything from everyday pre workouts to full on stim junkie pre workouts, we cover it all.

Combining insights from variationist sociolinguistics and SLA, the present paper is situated within the SLA research which applies variationist sociolinguistic method. The quantitative research method in sociolinguistic variation theory provides a new perspective for the research of SLA. This paper expounds and analyzes the SLA research in the light of variation theory, particularly focusing on the variation research of interlanguage both in China and abroad, and further presents the application of variationist sociolinguistic method in interlanguage research. The combination of variation theory and SLA research is crucial to deepen the development of SLA research, specifically, in L2 learning and teaching to provide suggestions to L2 learners and teachers. In so doing, L2 learners do not use or underuse the appropriate form in context, such that there is a form-function mismatch in their interlanguage. Specifically, first, although the quantitative research methods in sociolinguistic variation theory provide a new perspective for second language acquisition research, it should not been regarded as the only effective way to study interlanguage variation. To accurately analyze the interlanguage of learners, sometimes other methods such as oral reports and participant ethnography are also needed. The combination of qualitative and quantitative methods can help obtain more reliable research results. Secondly, the phenomenon of variation should not only remain at the level of pronunciation, vocabulary, syntax, etc., and the writing system can also be studied as a phenomenon of variation. In the process of acquiring the target language, it is also worth exploring whether learners will imitate the writing habits of native speakers, or whether learners will be influenced by their own mother tongue to create new forms of writing. Finally, although the research findings on interlanguage variation have implications for classroom teaching, when applied to second language acquisition classrooms, teachers need to carefully consider their classroom applicability.

The New Year is drawing near. We know that everyone is getting ready to embrace, welcome, and celebrate the New Year! Are you looking for the best getaway destination for New Year?
Then we will assist you in expediting and simplifying your research. Karnataka is primarily known as a heritage state, and it is a blessed state with breathtaking natural beauty. However, Bengaluru, India's industrial region and Silicon Valley, has flourished with man-made developments, and you will mostly be living in the city's hectic life. So, it goes without saying that we are all looking to celebrate our getaways in places that are close to nature and where we can enjoy the party.
We will help you choose the best location to celebrate New Year's Eve by providing information on the top seven places to visit.
Nagarahole Park has been designated as India's thirty-seventh Tiger Reserve and national park. Furthermore, UNESCO has declared it a World Heritage Site. The most amazing part is that this scenic and wonderful place is only a 5-hour drive from Bengaluru and is part of the Nilgiri biosphere reserve. It's a great place to visit in the winter because you can see tigers, sloth bears, striped hyenas, aquatic birds, and crocodiles. During the day, you can visit the reserve park, and at night, you can stay at riverfront resorts near Kabani, where most of the resorts celebrate New Year's Eve with parties and special offers.
If you are a hill rider or an adventure seeker, I believe you must visit here at least once. Nandi Hills is a stunning collection of hillocks that serve as a complete nature retreat. People come here to participate in a wide range of activities, from catching stunning views of the rising and setting sun to camping and trekking. The best part about going to the top of the hill is that you will be able to see low-lying clouds floating around you. Furthermore, there are numerous locations for rock climbing, trekking, ATV rides, dirt biking, buggy rides, and other activities. There are many eco-friendly resorts available, and you can spend New Year's Eve with a special twist at these resorts, complete with booze parties and all.
3) Hampi
What about spending this New Year in a historic town? Hampi is inscribed as World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It is also well-known for the ruins of the Vijayanagar Empire and this location is a historical delight for people who love history, surrounded by 500 ancient monuments, temples, buildings, and captivating ruins. There are many budget-friendly and luxurious resorts in Hampi, and you can make New Year's Eve extra memorable by opting according to your taste.
Chikmagalur is a beautiful hill town in Karnataka. It's a great winter getaway spot, located at an elevation of 3,400 feet in the foothills of the Mulliyangiri range and 240 kilometers from Bengaluru. Chikkamagaluru is also well-known for its coffee and is known as Karnataka's coffee land. Chikmagalur has a wide range of accommodation options, including star hotels, luxurious resorts, and budget hotels. Mullayangiri, Kudremukh, Baba Mudengiri, Hebbe Falls, Sharadamba Temple, Coffee Museum, Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary, and Horanadu Temple are also popular tourist attractions.
Dandeli, located on the Western Ghats of Uttara Karnataka, is surrounded by lush green forests and sits on the banks of the Kali River. Dandeli, known for its many fantastic adventure opportunities, is a hub for river rafting on the Kali. Mountain biking, trekking, cycling, kayaking, and canoeing are just a few of the activities available to thrill seekers. The Dandeli Wildlife Sanctuary is yet another exciting feature of Dandeli. This is also ideal for nature lovers, as they can see Bisons and Black Panthers as well as beautiful flora. During the day, you can enjoy the beauty of nature, and at night, you can rock the floor with New Year's Eve vibes, music, and a DJ.
Are you looking for the best beach destination, where you can spend the New Year? Gokarna is a pilgrimage town in Karnataka and a newly discovered hub for beach lovers and hippies, thanks to its pristine beaches and breathtaking landscapes. Every year, Gokarna, located on the coast of Karwar, welcomes hordes of tourists from all over the world in search of sanctity and relaxation. Out-of-town beaches such as Kudle Beach and Om Beach provide a refreshing contrast to life in town.

pfSense is a powerful open-source-based router/firewall that's focused on security and usability.
With pfSense, you have three options when it comes to setting up a VPN: IPSec, OpenVPN, and WireGuard. You can use either protocol to setup, a site-to-site connection, linking two separate networks over the VPN tunnel, an "always-on" connection to a VPN server (typically a commercial VPN provider), or a road warrior setup for remote access. It's the latter that interests us in this post.
In this guide we're going to explain how to set up a road warrior setup pfSense using WireGuard.
Note: Netgate, the company behind pfSense's development, maintains two forks of the project:
- pfSense CE
- pfSense Plus
pfSense CE, which stands for Community Edition, is the fully open-source version of pfSense. pfSense Plus is open-source-based but with extra features added using proprietary code. While both are free for individual users, we'll be using pfSense CE in this guide – which also assumes you have a working pfSense configuration with a WAN and a LAN interface setup.
Let's start.
Installing the WireGuard package
The first thing we're going to do is install the WireGuard package. WireGuard isn't included in pfSense CE out of the box. But we can install it from the official pfSense package repository.
- From the top menus, select General > Package Manager. The Installed Packages tab of the Package Manager is displayed.
- Go to the Available Packages tab. The list of available packages is displayed.
- Scroll down towards the bottom of the page until you see WireGuard.
- Click the Install button to the right of WireGuard. This displays up the Package Installer window.
- Click Confirm to begin the installation.
- Once the package is installed, you should see the word Success displayed at the bottom of the Package Installer window. You've successfully installed WireGuard.
Configuring the WireGuard package
Now that WireGuard is installed on our system, we can begin the configuration.
Before we begin, note that WireGuard does not use the typical server/client nomenclature. Instead, every participant in the network is a node that can talk to the other nodes based on its access control list (acl). Despite those semantics, we're going to treat the "pfSense node" as our server – which makes sense, particularly in a road warrior setup.
Setting up the pfSense node/server
- From the top menus, select VPN > WireGuard. The main WireGuard settings page is displayed.
- By default, we are on the Tunnels page. Click Add Tunnel. The Tunnel Configuration page is displayed.
- Under Tunnel Configuration, tick the Enable Tunnel box.
- Enter a description in the Description field.
- Enter a port in the Listen Port field. The default is 51820.
- Click the Generate button to generate a key pair for our pfSense WireGuard node/server. The resulting keys are displayed in the Interface Keys fields.
- In the Interface Configuration section, enter an interface address in the Interface Addresses field. Make sure to use a subnet that's not already in use on your system and give it a /24 subnet mask. You can also optionally enter a description.
- Click Save Tunnel. You're taken back to the main WireGuard settings page.
Enabling the WireGuard service
- We can see that our tunnel is greyed out in the list and we have a message stating that "The WireGuard service is not running." Select the Settings tab. The Settings page is displayed.
- Under General Settings, tick the Enable WireGuard box.
- Under User Interface Settings, untick the Hide Secrets and Hide Peers boxes.
- Click Save at the bottom of the page. You're taken back to the main WireGuard settings page.
- We can see that our tunnel is no longer greyed out now that the service is running.
Adding a peer
- Each peer needs to have its own public/private key pair. We generated a key pair for the "server" node when we created it. But because there's no key generation button in the peer settings, we're going to perform a small hack to generate our peer's key pair. From the Tunnels tab, click Add Tunnel. The Tunnel Configuration page is displayed.
- Click the Generate button to generate a key pair. Copy both the public and private keys displayed in the Interface Keys fields. We will use those keys to configure our peer.
- Click the Tunnels tab to exit. You're taken back to the main WireGuard settings page.
- Select the Peers tab. The Peers page is displayed.
- Click Add Peer. The Peer Configuration page is displayed.
- Under Peer Configuration, tick the Enable Peer box.
- From the Tunnel drop-down menu, select the WireGUard interface we created earlier. It should be tun_wg0.
- Enter a description in the Description field.
- Untick the Dynamic box next to Dynamic Endpoint.
- In the Endpoint and Port fields, enter the IP address of the interface we created earlier and the listening port number we chose. In my case this is 192.168.10.1 and 51820.
- In the Public Key field, enter the public key from the peer keypair we generated earlier.
- Click the Generate button next to Pre-shared Key. This adds an extra layer of security by requiring matching pre-shared keys as well as the peer's private/public keys we'll be setting up in a later step. The generated pre-shared key is displayed in the Pre-shared Key field. Copy it – we will need it later.
- Under Address Configuration, enter the IP address you want to assign to this peer. Make sure it's in the same subnet as the WireGuard interface we created (126.96.36.199/24 in my case) and give it a /32 subnet mask. I will use 192.168.10.10/32. You can optionally enter a description in the Description field.
- Click Save Peer at the bottom of the page. You're taken back to the main WireGuard settings page.
- Click Apply Changes.
Checking the status of our WireGuard tunnel
- Select the Status tab. The WireGuard Status page is displayed.
- We can see that our tunnel is up and running and that our peer exists but is not yet connected. Our next step will be to make sure our WireGuard nodes can use our system's DNS server.
Checking DNS access
By default when you configure a WireGuard tunnel, pfSense automatically adds an ACL entry for the WireGuard subnet in pfSense's DNS Resolver (Unbound). This allows the WireGuard interface to use the DNS Resolver for DNS resolution. There's nothing to configure here. We just want to make sure everything is set up correctly.
- From the top menus, select Services > DNS Resolver. The main DNS Resolver settings page is displayed
- Select the Access Lists tab. The Access Lists configuration page is displayed.
- We can see that we have a WireGuard ACL entry that was automatically added. Click the pencil icon to the right of the page.
- We can see that our WireGuard subnet (192.168.10.0/24) is allowed access to the DNS Resolver.
Enabling port forwarding and firewall rules
Our next step is to configure pfSense to allow the peer to connect and for its traffic to be allowed through the firewall. To do this, we're going to add some port forwarding rules.
- From the top menus, select Firewall > NAT. The main NAT configuration page is displayed and we're on the Port Forwarding tab by default.
- Click the Add button (with the arrow pointing upwards). The port forwarding rule page is displayed.
- From the Interface drop-down menu, select WAN.
- From the Address Family drop-down menu, select IPv4.
- From the Protocol drop-down menu, select UDP.
- From the Destination drop-down menu, select WAN address.
- From the Destination port range drop-down menus, select Other and enter 51820 in both port fields.
- From the Redirect target IP drop-down menu, select Single host and enter the WireGuard node/server's interface address (192.168.10.1).
- From the Redirect target port drop-down menu, select Other and enter 51820 in the port field.
- Enter a description in the Description field.
- Make sure that the Filter rule association drop-down menu is set to Add associated filter rule. This will create a corresponding rule on our WAN interface automatically.
- Click Save at the bottom of the page. You're taken back to the main NAT configuration page.
- Click Apply Changes.
- Our port forward rule has been applied. Let's now make sure our WAN rule has been automatically added.
- From the top menus, select Firewall > Rules. The main Firewall rules page is displayed and we're on the WAN page by default.
- We can see that our WAN rule has indeed been added. Select the WireGuard tab.
- The WireGuard tab is automatically generated as soon as you create a WireGuard interface and the rules in this tab apply to all WireGuard interfaces you add to your system. It is distinct from the standalone interface tab you would have if you had assigned the WireGuard interface on the system, like the LAN tab/interface. If we wanted to use the WireGuard interface as a gateway, this would have been useful. But because we're going to be using the pfSense WAN interface as our gateway, there's no need to assign the interface, we can use the "general" WireGuard tab to allow traffic on our WireGuard interface. Click Add (with the arrow pointing upwards). The FIrewall Rule configuration page is displayed.
- Make sure the Action drop-down menu is set to Pass.
- Make sure the Interface drop-down menu is set to WireGuard.
- Make sure the Address Family drop-down is set to IPv4.
- From the Protocol drop-down menu, select Any.
- From the Source drop-down menu, select Network and enter your WireGuard subnet and a /24 subnet mask. In my case, this is 192.168.10.0/24.
- From the Destination drop-down menu, select Any.
- Click Save at the bottom of the page.
- You're taken back to the main Firewall Rule configuration page. Click Apply Changes.
- Our firewall rule has been applied and our remote peer should be allowed to connect and its traffic should be allowed through the firewall. Our next step will be to configure our remote peer (client). We'll be doing this using the official WireGuard app for iPhone.
Setting up our remote peer (client)
- Download and install the WireGuard app for your device. I'll be using an iPhone for this tutorial.
- From the app's main screen, click Add Tunnel. A pop-up menu appears.
- Select Create from scratch.
- Under Interface, enter a name for your connection in the Name field.
- Copy and paste the peer's private key in the Private Key field. The public key will be populated automatically.
- Enter the peer's IP address in the Address field. This is 192.168.10.10/32 in my case.
- Enter the port number in the Port field. In my case, this is 51820.
- Enter your pfSense box's IP address in the DNS field. This is 192.168.1.1 in my case.
- Under Peer, enter the "server" node's public key in the Public key field. You can copy it from the Tunnels tab.
- Enter the peer's pre-shared key in the Preshared key field.
- Enter 0.0.0.0/0 in the Allowed IPs field. This will pass all traffic through the WireGuard tunnel.
- In the Persistent Keepalive field, enter 25.
- Click Save at the top.
- All that's left is to enable our connection and see if it works.
Checking the status of our connection
Now that our remote node is connected, let's just check on the status in pfSense to make sure everything is working properly.
- From the top menus, select VPN > WireGuard. You're taken to the WireGuard main settings page.
- Select the Status tab.
- We can see that our tunnel is up and our remote peer is connected.
- To make sure the WireGuard tunnel is using your pfSense WAN as its gateway, you can check your IP online. The IP address displayed should be your WAN IP address.
Wrap Up
Congratulations, you've successfully configured a road warrior VPN using WireGuard in pfSense. You can now access your home network and any of its resources (servers, databases, other computers) from anywhere. You can also browse the internet through your home connection from anywhere.

The Iranian Offshore Oil Company (IOOC) has reportedly started production from the Asmari reservoir of Abouzar oilfield in the Persian Gulf.
IOOC petroleum engineering head Javad Rostami was quoted by Iran's oil ministry news service Shana as saying: "With the planning made in the past few months for the development of the upper Asmari layer of Abouzar field, a new well called A14-4H was drilled in this reservoir and after the completion of the well and its commissioning, oil production from this reservoir was realized for the first time in history of the field's development."
The firm is planning to drill more wells to further the development of the reservoir.
After drilling five to eight new wells, the reservoir is estimated to have a production capacity of 6,000 to 10,000 barrels of oil.
The development and production of Abouzar field has so far focused on other reservoirs, including Ghar, which is anticipated to have 4030 million barrels of oil in place, according to Shana news agency.
Other reservoirs at the field include Bergen with estimated 118 million barrels of oil in place and Dammam, which is predicted to hold 138 million barrels of oil in place.

Lady Despina needed to humiliate this guy because he had a small dick and she did not waste that chance. The mistress felt that she had to do it because it was a gift to see a man with a tiny dick. The mistress felt sorry for him but she still had to dominate him. It was fun for her and she enjoyed the things she did to him as she recorded them.
This guy had never cum in a long time and he was easily turned on and distracted. That is why these mistresses decided to make him cum so that he could have a release that he badly needed. But they did not want to fuck him. So instead, they asked him to watch what they did and they gave him jerk off instructions which he used to cum like never before.
Goddess Maeve had given her slave jerk off instructions and he used them to masturbate and have a great climax. She wanted to enjoy it later when he was not around and that is why she recorded it. So today she had time and she watched it to not only enjoy it, but also see how interesting or naughty her joi were and see how to make them even naughtier than it were.
This mistress had a colleague who was unlucky in getting sexual mates. She felt pity for him and she teased him a little without being totally naked. And as he got turned on, she had him cum using her jerk off instructions and that is how he had one of the most amazing cums of his life. He thanked her but she told him not to get used to it.
Princess Melena wanted this guy to cum but she was not willing to fuck him. The only other way she was going to help him get what he wanted was to tease him by flaunting her sexy ass. She then gave him jerk off instructions when she realized he was turned on. He could not resist what she asked him to do and that is how he got a great orgasm.
Madame Ellen was bored out of her freaking mind and she had to find something to do for fun. That is why she opted to get this guy to cum. So she took him to her kinky room and she had him watch as she played with dildos and strapons. He was then asked to do what she had done until he came. He was to follow her jerk off instructions.
Lady Despina loves to help out guys who cannot score hot chicks. She loves to get them to cum even though not by fucking them. All she does is to have fun with them and to tease them then give them jerk off instructions for them to use in cumming. This guy was on a crazy dry spell and lady Despina came to his rescue when she used her joi to get him to orgasm.
Mistress Enola noticed that her slave was frustrated and when she tried to pay attention, she realized it was sexual frustration. So she went out of her way to make the guy do things that helped him cum. She had him jerk off to her instructions and she teased him to make it easier for him. And he had one of the best cums of his life and he felt freer and lighter.
Mistress Nyx loves to be naughty and kinky. And today she took this gullible and innocent guy and she taught him how to jerk off. The guy did not really know how to do it and it looked as if he had never done it. So he was turned on when she showed him how to do it and and it helped that she talked dirty to him in the process.
This guy had a crush on mistress Arya and it was his birthday. So the mistress thought of the best gift for him and she realized that all she had to do was to give him jerk off instructions and tease him a little by playing with her pussy and he would be home and dry. She did it and the guy had a great orgasm in the process and it was actually one of the best gifts he had ever gotten.

These $21 Amazon slippers look almost identical to a celebrity-loved pair of UGGs
Amazon reviewers call these cozy slippers "incredibly soft" and "perfect" for winter.
Is it right to say UGG Boots are making a comeback when, really, they never went away? Beloved by celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence, Kendall Jenner and Sarah Jessica Parker (yes, even Carrie Bradshaw owns a pair of UGGs!), the famous sheepskin boots are a must-have for winter 2024. However, if you're not keen on spending hundreds on a real-deal pair of UGGs, Amazon shoppers can find a near-identical pair of the brand's Disquette slippers for just $21.
The original:
Keep your toes warm in these platform slippers.
The look for less:
Save 15 per cent on these "Amazon's Choice" slippers.
Amazon's NewYouDirect Slippers: What are they?
These "Amazon's Choice" unisex slippers offer a comfortable plush fleece lining, supportive memory foam cushion and an anti-slip rubber sole. The shoes are sturdy enough for indoor and outdoor wear and come in five colours: Brown (pictured), pink, grey, tan and coffee.
What Amazon reviewers say
With more than 2,300 reviews and a 4.2-star rating singing their praises, Amazon shoppers give the slippers top marks for comfort and style and dub them the "perfect winter must-have."
They're "so comfy," writes one shopper. "I don't know how I lived without them."
These slippers are "incredibly soft," says another reviewer. They keep your feet "extra warm and comfortable."
A third Amazon user says the shoes are "great for winter" and promises they're "super comfortable."
While the slippers have collected nearly 1,500 five-star reviews, some note they offer "zero support" and question their durability.
They "look great" but "[wear] out quickly," writes one shopper.
The "stitching came apart from the sole very quickly," says another.
How they differ
The classic UGG Disquette slipper is crafted from the brand's signature sheepskin and suede, making it durable for outdoor wear. The Disquette has a suede upper, sheepskin collar, lining and insole, and an EVA outsole.
Comparatively, Amazon's NewYouDirect Slippers are made from plush synthetic fibres.
Which should you buy?
If your bottom line comes down to price, Amazon's NewYouDirect Slipper is the clear winner. On sale for $21, reviewers say the wallet-friendly shoes are "incredibly soft" and "so comfy." However, if you're looking to invest in a pair that will last you for years to come, the classic UGG Disquette is the better option. Crafted from genuine sheepskin and suede, UGG reviewers call them "by far the best slippers [they] own."

Hello babes. I felt creative and wanted to choose a new angle for my profile picture. A creative way to display both my smooth cock, while displaying how perky and pointy my boobs can get when I am turned on. I had to be quick, be cause a few seconds after the picture was taken, I had erection. It would have ruined the girly look I was going for. It's a miracle, since I had a nice session of nipples play to get them hard and pointy. But it is all worth it! The result is just perfect. And I got a huge ejaculation after that haha.
OK, enough about the picture. As you may see, I am blond trans-girl in her 20s. I live in Hollywood Florida, but it's cooler to say Miami, and I spend most of my W-E down there anyway. It's more convenient to meet guys there for hook-ups. But I would not say no to a more local meeting either you know. But one thing I would say no to, is a fat man. Sorry, but no can do. I'll only let thin men fuck my perfect ass. No way I could go down on a man with a dad bod. Sorry 🙂

That shouldn't be a surprise given the fact that its star, Katie Thurston, showed up on the last season of The Bachelor with a sparkly purple vibrator. This is a girl who is not afraid to talk about sex, and who is ready to continue to have "some conversations that haven't happened before."
"The biggest one and the most important one [is the conversation] around sex, whether they're humorous conversations or important conversations," she tells E! News in the video above. "Sex is a theme during the season and I'm excited for people to start feeling comfortable talking about it and starting those conversations."
Sex is obviously not a new topic for the Bachelor franchise, especially in recent years, after Colton Underwood's many discussions of virginity and Hannah Brown's faith-themed saga. But no star has ever kicked off their time in the franchise with a sex toy before, and Katie's also got the benefit of advice from mentor and former Bachelorette Kaitlyn Bristowe, who spent a fair amount of her season dealing with slut-shaming.
"[Kaitlyn] was there from start to finish to give me advice, and the one thing that her and I both agreed on is we are in 2021, so people are starting to be a little bit more open and a little more comfortable, but there are still people who view it as a crime, a stigma, a taboo," Katie explains. "So I'm just kind of reinserting that back into the conversation and on the screens, and hoping people start those conversations."
Katie says she isn't afraid of letting her friends and family watch the season, partly because they're more open than she is sometimes. But no matter what, she's not letting anyone join her watch parties.
"I mean, single or engaged, I would be watching this alone," she says. "I can't watch it with my family or my friends, seeing myself make out with all these guys. I just need to be alone and embrace it and process it myself."
Katie admits "without hesitation" that she falls in love with more than one person, and so we should all prepare ourselves to watch some hearts get broken.
We should also get ready to see Katie talk about her cat, Tommy. Katie describes herself as a crazy cat lady, which means that not only is she thrilled when a rogue cat makes a surprise appearance during our interview, she can also be easily won over by any man who embraces that side of her. You'll see what we mean after the premiere!

The Bachelorette airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
