Good grief! Wow, impressive. Considering those are pre-1.0 versions riddled with bugs (obviously not for the things you're using), that's quite impressive.  Cool to see.  I upgrade all mine way too much to come anywhere close to that.

Thanks mate, that was exactly what I was looking for. Have a great day :).

I would think of a GUI tool that modifies config.xml and restores it to the box.
Then there would be the demand to configure and control multiple devices all over the place and you end up with a full blown management system.

Either you misinterpret your customer's demand (a windows based GUI) or you diplomatically want to start a big project here    ;)

BTW: I cannot share your opinion on the look & feel.

No I didn't know that.  Thanks for telling me, thats pretty important.

@rafaelsantos:

sounds great tacfit… but can i obtain good pfsense performance using a box with VIA Eden 1GHz processor, PC133 512MB SoDIMM and 1gb Compact Flash???
think in a situation with throughput of a 200 hosts in lan, incoming external connection and 2 vpn´s tunneling with about 30 hosts in each one...
thanks

As cmd says, more details needed. First off, I don't know how the Eden compares with a Pentium III based Xeon, but if they're comparable, and those users are doing "typical" surfing, e-mail, downloading general stuff, I would say your performance will be fine.

BUT… again, this is a total guess on my part. I would say the first bottleneck you're going to run into is memory... and depending on the encryption used for your VPNs, CPU speed. Also, if you've got users download lots of torrents and other stuff like that, that'll throw things off. If this was for an office where you would restrict the types of traffic allowed, I think you wouldn't be far off the mark.

I've been VERY impressed with pfSense's performance, but bare in mind I'm running it on a full sized server. It sounds like you're using a smaller device, which may be just fine... but I can only speak from my own experience :)

On something like that you're probably restricted to DD-WRT, OpenWRT etc.

For a list of hardware pfSense supports, see the hardware page.

I hear clonezilla may have one up on g4u now, but I haven't been able to try it out yet.  I've been told you can do a raw copy but not have to copy the unused space.

The same after a reboot?

New to firewalling in general? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firewall
If you know basic firewall concepts, it's not too hard to pick up. The docs are a bit rough, but look here:
http://www.pfsense.com/index.php?id=17

The default page does not do php.  You need to use a html meta redirect or javascript to redirect to a custom uploaded page that has been added from the file manager.

Did you google it??  http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html

Yes I know "dnsmasq" is a DNS server, but I ask if pfsense use it.

If config file not exist, which is the best way to edit the DNS Server configuration in pfsense ?

cheers  :D

hello, my English is not very good, I have a pfsense, and have formed logs External syslog server, but the events of firewall are not regitrados in the server logs, the messages of authentication and messages of the system if, but what me intereza is really the messages of discarded or blocked packages, the server logs in freeBSD 6,1 Release, and syslog-ng 1.6,
some suggestion?

@sdale:

We are running 2.6.1.3

I look forward to playing with it  ;D
