@pfrickroll , well I understanding, nice to read about, and agreed. Same here my adventures with firewalling world of pfSense began about three years ago 🦑 and is really cool discovering networking stuffs with simply power of Free BSD and PfSense.
I'm loving it.
So I know pfSense from 2013 but I'm not remember any specific options for managing many different configs at same time.
Maybe if exsist in older Additional Packages software , in older days and maybe it's purged out for missing support ❓ ❓
I dont'know, but at this time High Avail. Sync can support at least some basics stuffs if you can share between all your different setups like:
** System / High Availability Sync** configuration shows:
User manager users and groups
Authentication servers (e.g. LDAP, RADIUS)
Certificate Authorities, Certificates, and Certificate Revocation Lists
Firewall rules
Firewall schedules
Firewall aliases
NAT configuration
IPsec configuration
OpenVPN configuration
DHCP Server settings
WoL Server settings
Static Route configuration
Load Balancer configuration
Virtual IPs
Traffic Shaper configuration
Traffic Shaper Limiters configuration
DNS Forwarder and DNS Resolver configurations
Captive Portal
This is a starting point, for me... I trust here in the Netgate forum some dude hold the answer for sure.
I guess a kind of XMLRPC protocol "work" made by a custom php script for a possible approach but I'm not a programmer,
I'm only a big fan 🕹
