Hi Everyone, Im currently a student in Computer Sciences. My friends and I want to customize pfSense. We would like to build a router that runs with Pfsense but for make it more cooler we would like to change webGUIs look and etc for our preference .. Even installation GUI and etc as well. How do we do it ? Where do we need to find information and related files to configure ?

dvserg

Path to the WebGUI /usr/local/www
Here possible found themes for pfSense too.

Thank you but how do i get there and how do i make changes ? And how do i save changes and make it a ISO image for further installations ? not localy on that PC ?

jimp

Builder setup is here:

Note that the git repositories moved to github over the weekend and that doc hasn't caught up yet.
Change this: http://gitweb.pfsense.org/pfsense-tools/mainline.git tools
To this: git://github.com/bsdperimeter/pfsense-tools.git

Ok ill ask a simple question as a newbie of pfsense and freeBSD , if i wanna rebrand pfsense as a build of mine which has rebranded installer and rebranded or changed theme webgui ; Do i have to install a pfsense into any computer and then make changes there and compile it or make it ISO , Or do i have to change in the ISO file which has been created already by pfsense ?

Looks like you're on a steep learning curve! But all learning is good. :)

You need to be working on the source and not an installed machine.
