        Look at this list:
        http://pfsense.com/index.php?id=26

        Now think what you can do if you combine these features. A general answer to "what one can do with pfsense" is impossible.

            Please do not take offense to this blut response, but…

            We are not here to teach networking classes.

            My suggestion is for you to visit http://www.webopedia.com/ or http://www.answers.com and lookup anything you don't understand or visit network related sites.

                We have no idea what features you want and our feature list is rather long.  If you can't understand what's written in plain english at http://pfsense.com/index.php?id=26 then I'm not sure how much more detail anyone else can go into.

                Here's the simplest possible thing I can tell you (and if it sounds familiar, it should, it's on the front page of the pfsense website)

                –Bill
                pfSense is a open source firewall derived from the m0n0wall operating system platform with radically different goals such as using Packet Filter, FreeBSD 6.X (or DragonFly BSD when ALTQ and CARP is finished) ALTQ for excellent packet queueing and finally an integrated package management system for extending the environment with new features.
