      I hope this is the right place to express my thanks to those who have created and contribute to pfsense
      I have looked at many router/fireawall solutions that could turn an old PC into a great piece of kit
      and pfsense ticks all the right boxes, it really does.
      I am amazed at all the features and for so long fell for the features offered by other organisations.
      When I finally switched to pfsense it all made pfsense - I am just hoping the PF part of the name
      is what I think it means Perfect F sense. Hahahahahaha anyway I am very impressed and thank you very much

        Scott came up with pfSense, pf being the packet filtering software used, as in making sense of pf.
