Packages wishlist?

Zanotti,
There are already interface groups and floating rules in 2.0 which cover some of that behavior, plus you can use aliases (which exist in 1.2.x) for frequently used hosts/networks/ports.
Letting you drag rules around might sound nice, but in practice it would be very easy to accidentally make unintended changes.

I have seen small notes about 3G on this forum, but could not find anything involving pfSense talking SMS.
At the moment I'm struggling with a SoHo router capable of using 3G as internet connection. This specific router DOVADO
is capable of giving status and do some basic manouvers on command over SMS. Wouldn't this be a nice package to pfSense?There could be all sorts of services like
- WAN <x>is down
- WAN <x>is up, IP:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
- <interface>has been down for x minutes
- WARNING firewall is experiencing attack x on <interface>- command "RESET <interface>"
- command "DOWN <interface>"
- command "UP <interface>"
- command "REBOOT"
The DOVADO is allso capable of managing TelStick, but that is an aditional functionality, nice but not as sweet.</interface></interface></interface></interface></interface></x></x>

Virtual Gateways would be great if it could be added. I have several PPPOE connections going form one modem so one gateway and now I have to run 4 instances of Pfsense in a VM so I can chnage the gateway for each for load balancing.

Another package, well more so a feature, would be that if my main server for some reason went down that the port forwarding would auto switch to a backup server. That would be awesome…

OpenVAS Scanner/Server:
http://www.openvas.org/
The firewall seems to be positioned where scanning would be easiest:
1. pf Rules wouldn't factor.
2. The state table wouldn't overload (I think…) -
FreeRADIUS 2.18
An update to freeradius would be nice.

Definately AODV/AODV routing… :)

Show system information like temperature,fans e.d.

System information like temp is in the phpinfo package

I would like to be able to install Ubiquity's Air Control software. Air Control runs on a web server and allows you a way to monitor and control various ubiquity CPE and access points. I am sure that there are many WISPS using Pfsense and Ubiquity is quickly becoming a leader in low cost wireless. Air Control requires Java and Tomcat. It looks like it can be installed on free BSD but it is somewhat out of my realm of expertise.
Please let me know if I should post in another group.

I'd like something like imspector but that would really work or something simple to block IM and webmessengers

I would like a package for LLDP support.
There exist some projects that already work:

you can still try this manually: use http(s)://your_pfsense/pkg_mgr_install.php?id=squid

I see quite a few people wish to modify the error pages provided by HAVP and squid, is it possible to create a package that does this automatically, where the user uploads the file they want to use and specify what its replacing? How difficult would it be?

I'd wish to have RTSP Proxy (ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/7.2-RELEASE/packages/net/osrtspproxy-2.0_1.tbz) as a pfSense package that can be installed as a transparent proxy.
Proxy uses UDP ports in the range of 6970 - 32000 for incoming connections. It would also be good to modify proxy source code so it can control firewall and dynamically open these ports for incoming UDP Data/Control connections.

I think this is the correct place to post this…
I have a (great) idea for a package... I'd do it my self, but I don't know how and I don't have the time right now to figure it out. I think it would very helpful and lots of people would use it... to be honest, I can't believe someone didn't already make it!
We have SSL, IPSec and PPTP VPN access, but what I haven't seen is something like SSL-Explorer (http://sourceforge.net/projects/sslexplorer/) where you can give access to applications and network shares over a Java based SSL web application allowing to keep your server secure. I realize that Barracuda bought out 3sp/SSL-Explorer, but there have been several branches of it like Adito or OpenVPN ALS (http://sourceforge.net/projects/openvpn-als/). I've used SSL-Explorer a little and found it very easy to use from both the admin and end-user sides. It's cross platform compatible and should load on any OS. Having a package like this would also help compete against several vendors out there... I know SonicWALL's SSLVPN has somewhat similar features in that you can publish some types of applications as well as shared folder.
All this being said, anyone interested in making a package out of this? I don't have any funds to put toward this at this time, but I'm willing to help out where I can if someone else thinks this would be useful.

openvpn-als requires to run Java on the server side, which is a very high requirement to ask of a firewall. It would not be a small undertaking by any means, but someone might do it for a bounty.
