        I don't know if you guys know hamachi (http://www.hamachi.cc) I have a virtual network card for it in my linux box and I love it, I can always "call home" from anywere I am.
        Having a virtual Hamachi interface on a pfSense box would be totally great!

          This looks interesting, I'll have a look at it. Seems it's for linux though, so it might need some porting.

            Hamachi's source is closed, and nobody has reported success running it on BSD systems. A developer stated back in September that demand for a BSD version is high enough that they may look into making one in the future.

              There is actually somebody that was running it on OpenBSD (with few problems) http://forums.hamachi.cc/viewtopic.php?t=1079&highlight=bsd

                I believe the topic in question referred to running Hamachi on a Windows or Linux system that was set up behind the pf firewall - not running the client itself on BSD.

                      We have pkg_add.

                      Run (from a shell prompt):

                      pkg_add -r ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.0-release/All/kismet-200507.r1a.tbz
                      rehash

                      Then kismet will be available from a shell

                              Generally an extremely bad idea.  Firewalls shouldn't also be used as general purpose servers.  But hey, in the spirit of "allowing one to shoot oneself in the foot" I suppose if someone wrote a package for this it'd be added.

                                This will make more sense down the road when the package manager outgrows pfSense and we become a firewalling or server platform. :P

                                    Can we?  No.  Can you?  Yes.

                                    We'll happily take package submissions but the coreteam is too busy to create packages.

                                        Use /etc/crontab.  We have a function call to update a file with a line.

                                        For studying, use cvs.pfsense.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/tools/packages

                                          FreeNAS should be pretty easy to integrate into pfSense as a pkg … it seems a good way to use extra HD's  :-

                                            Different goals.  We do not plan on turning pfSense into a server platform just yet.  We need to focus on firewalling.
