pfSense 1.0 Firewall Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the protected-by-daemons dept.

Chris Daniel writes, "pfSense, a FreeBSD-based firewall LiveCD distribution, has reached its official 1.0 release. Based on m0n0wall, pfSense offers firewalling, traffic shaping, VPNs, load balancing, and a nice package-management system for adding extra functionality, among many other useful built-in features. The project has been ongoing for two years, and pfSense has already been in production use in a number of locations well before the 1.0 release." Find a download mirror here.

  1. SmoothWall?? IPCop! by PurPaBOO · · Score: 5, Informative

    You only get the better features in Smoothwall if you pay for the corporate version.

    You could try IPCop instead, a fork of smoothwall.

    I use IPCop instead of pfsense for some installations as it has support for the Bewan PCI ADSL modem.
