        Is this bounty going somewhere?  Just as I kill the bounty people show interest so I reopen.  Now no response for a long time.  Is someone truly interested?  I can gauruntee the funds I have alocated for only so long.  If there is no concrete sign of interest then I will either pull my $$$ from the bounty or request that it be closed unless someone would like to keep it open.

        Thanks,

            I'd be willing to through another $300 in the pot if this happens.

                    What does m0n0 CMI offer from your requests?
                    As i never seen it would be interesting to know what it covers and what needs to be added apart the customization for pfSense. Furthermore, this might take some time and with that will it be acceptable to have it only for 2.0+ releases?

                      Not too sure about CMI as I am not running m0n0 to know how it works.  As to time….I have waited this long...maybe close to a year or more.  ;D  Waiting for this in 2.0 would not make much of a difference to me.  I could wait 8-12 months!

                        I can just imagine having a site with 6 remote sites and being able to push out lan to lan tunnels between firewalls from a single interface.  That is not what I am looking for but once a package is available like that I am sure there will be even more features that people would want.  Maybe I am wrong but after hearing that some people have upwards of over 100 pfsense firewalls running I cannot imagine how they would not want a central location for managing them.

                          OK i will give m0n0 CMI a look to what it offers and how extensible it is and report back.
                          Then if you collect the money i can start on giving you functionality to manage rules and get stats and logs from the configured machines.

                            I've started coding something similar for my own use.  I'd be interested in finishing it if this bounty is still up for grabs.  PLMKWYT

                              xanthra, if you are serious about taking this bounty, I would encourage you to contact the individuals in this thread who bid on it, make sure they're still willing to donate and get a complete list of features they want.  I would hate for you to go to the herculean effort this bounty is going to require and end up shorted because people aren't willing to pay you for your time.

                                @ Submicron…Good Point!

                                @Xanthra:

                                Can you please tell us more about your project which you have already begun coding?  Is it using all BSD type licensed technologies?  How far along are you and what capabilities does it currently have if any.  Will your project be able to acheive all of the items which were laid out by the people who added to this bounty?

                                Thanks,

                                  I initially committed $200, which is still up for grabs.  I will raise it to $500, if we can get this project going, but the requirements must be met (as listed by those who posted bounties).

                                    Right now it just pings a list of machines and shows a green or red light on a web page.  It's kinda like smoke ping light : ) Edit: After re-reading the list in the first post of this thread, I think it basically covers #2
                                    I'm working on pushing rules out to pfsense clusters because I will have a few to maintain in the near future.
                                    I think I get backups for free because I'm fetching config.xml to update the rules in the <filter>section.

                                    Maybe instead of one huge bounty and big project we can make a list of individual requests and chip away at them ?</filter>

                                      Hmmm.. It might be difficult to breakdown the items and add a monetary value to them.  Leaving one item out could kill a majority of the bounty leaving only crumbs to be earned.  Maybe you could tell us what you see as realistically possible based on your ability, time frame, cost of your time, etc….  As I mentioned before, I am willing to wait upwards of 8-12 months to be completed if it is broken down on a timeline of sorts.  Also I am sure if done using the recommended technology..bsd license tech...other devs would be more than happy to chip in and help with certain parts as I have seen comments like this in the past on the previous thread for this project.

                                      Thanks,

                                        Has anybody seen this?  Pretty nifty and seems to cover some of the items listed

                                          Well let's just start with #2 then.  I guess I need to figure out how to create a package for what I've got so far.

                                            The problem is seeing if others are willing to pony up for just feature # 2 and putting a $$ value to it.  That might be tough.  I hope some others will chime in with their thoughts on the matter.

                                            Also you have yet to give any details on what you have already created…

                                            Cheers,
