pfSense - Firewall and Routing platform

pfSense is a powerful, flexible firewalling and routing platform. It includes a long list of related features and a package system allowing further expandability without adding bloat and potential security vulnerabilities to the base distribution. pfSense is a stateful firewall, by default all rules are stateful. A Dynamic DNS client is included to allow you to register your public IP with a number of dynamic DNS service providers.

pfSense is a free, open source customized distribution of FreeBSD tailored for use as a firewall and router. In addition to being a powerful, flexible firewalling and routing platform, it includes a long list of related features and a package system allowing further expandability without adding bloat and potential security vulnerabilities to the base distribution. pfSense is a popular project with more than 1 million downloads since its inception, and proven in countless installations ranging from small home networks protecting a PC and an Xbox to large corporations, universities and other organizations protecting thousands of network devices.

This project started in 2004 as a fork of the m0n0wall project, but focused towards full PC installations rather than the embedded hardware focus of m0n0wall. pfSense also offers an embedded image for Compact Flash based installations, however it is not our primary focus.

It can be configured and upgraded through a web-based interface, and requires no knowledge of the underlying FreeBSD system to manage.If you need more information visit on below given link.
