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.

    Sorry, I'll take my Linksys WRT54GS (v3) running OpenWRT or dd-wrt. Small, quiet, and wireless!

    if bsd kernels had a strong drive behind them like ltorvalds then perhaps they would have better device support.

    But they don't so BSD is dying.
