      I'm going to evaluate pfSense and would know if it can manage a rule where the source IP is dynamic  like myaddress.dyndns.org.
      To reduce overhead, it'll be acceptable to update the corresponding ip every x minutes.

      Thanks

        In 2.0, yes. Make an alias, add the dyndns hostname to the alias, then make a rule that references the alias for the source.

        A daemon periodically checks and re-resolves the IP and updates as needed.
