      ndpmon (the IPv6 ARPWatch) should be interesting as PFSense is the router.

        SquidClamav - ICAP based antivirus for Squid. The FreeBSD port is present.
        It would be better to use the ICAP based antivirus than HAVP (parent proxy). The ICAP integration mode has less limitations (QoS, stats, authentification etc.)
        I hope, Squid3 package is compiled with ICAP support ;)

          Some SIP proxy (such as repro or Kamailio) would be nice

            A simple improved logging package, perhaps just a local syslog with a GUI.

            I understand the 50 row limitation of the default installation because of the ability to run on a machine with no hard drive. But I would imagine that most installs have some storage available and even a basic 10 year old machine will have a 10GB+ hard disk, plenty to store a reasonable amounts of logs.

            I would like to see a simple logging package that can be optionally installed that extends the logs beyond 50 entries (to a user-defined retention period or size) and provides some, even if rudimentary, filtering/sorting features.

            Most places I promote using pfSense are in small businesses where an enterprise-class firewall is needed, for multi-WAN or decent VPN capability, but unavailable due to budget constraints. In these cases, there's not much eagerness to buy a separate machine to run a syslog server or add that role to already overburdened servers. I don't think there's any reason why the pfSense machines can't store their own logs if the disk space allows it.

                GNU Gatekeeper for H.323 proxy:

                http://www.gnugk.org/h323-proxy.html

                Rationale: H.323 remains by far the most popular protocol for video conferencing at companies, but unlike -recent- SIP software, H.323 can't deal with NAT thus requiring a proxy / ALG.

                  I wish that

                  1. aliases will include mac addresses and the firewall can manipulate mac addresses to deny/block
                  2. squid will have purge option for the cache and edited some squid related configuration like.. squid.inc :)

                  just a small wish though this christmas season

                    Hi!
                    it would be great to see what comes with a newer version of a package.
                    Right now there is either no link at all, or a link to the general forum. Both are mostly not giving out information on what has changed.
                    So a simple release notes page for each package would be sufficient. It should be easily reachable from the packages lists. That would be great!

                    e.g.

                    Version 1.2 (release date)
                    … changes since previous version
                    Version 1.1 (release date)
                    ... changes since previous version

                    ...

                    Thanks, for all the wonderful work on pfsense!

                        @NG:

                        At first many thanks to Ermal and others for great job with Snort package. I have one little wish to help my everyday job. We have pfsense in our network. This time it is securing 5 LAN networks and we have hundreds of users in our networks. Because our company have very tight internet rules we need to Snort our LAN side traffic also and block offenders in LAN networks. Problem is that when snort blocks out a user (or IP-address) there is no information send to user about that. Traffic just ends. Next thing is the user picks up the phone and calls us and reports internet failure. Is there any chance to get a popup window, redirection or at least error page to user that tells reason for blocking? It also would help us to fix problems in rules also. The page should say for example:"You are blocked out: #REASON#". Of cause there should be enable/disable tag and selection for LAN-networks also :)

                        Something that may be more to what you are looking for and could work in tandem with pfSense is packetfence.

                          Thanks!  I never knew that existed!!!!    I think if more people had that link, a lot of the questions would go away when the package maintainers make a change.

                                  WanAccelerator package

                                  WANproxy, trafficSqueezer, (OpenNOP)

                                  I would like to have kind of VoIP wan optimizer, seem Traffic Squeezer has ability of..

                                  The idea is can have the server mode and client mode for end -to- end tunnel for Codec g.729 or g.722 or g.726 on SIP or IAX protocol. Since we already have Asterisk package.

                                  The Qos and Packet Sharper seem does not really help if we got bigger concurrent. But if we can squeeze the bandwidth it would really help.

                                    It looks like only wanproxy has Freebsd support.

                                    I could compile it, but i'ts not a freebsd port yet and may work better optimizing tcp connections.

                                      I wish to have a monitoring system to see my logged in users of PPPoE server,also a .bandwidth control and real-time usage graph.I'm using pfsense 2.0.1.Anyone have a package or graph supporting PPPoE server will be greatly useful to me.

                                      thanx in ad'vance

                                        Adding IP GeoLocation to monitor Pfsense logs would be a very productive addition.

                                          I'd love to see a "Test Settings" package.  For example, you go to the package, and set a timer or date to test settings until.  It backs up your current config to a location, and adds a cronjob or something to reapply your "old" config at the end of the timer and reboot.  That way, if you're testing out some new rules, packages, or traffic shaping and something goes horribly wrong or you get locked out, you just need to wait out the timer to get back to your known good configuration.

                                          I think it would be very handy for making changes remotely, where you're logged in through SSH or VPN and you could easily lose the ability to reconnect accidentally.

                                            Monit for customized monitoring and alerting. This would be a solid addition to PFSense in an area where it is lacking; customized alerting and reporting.

                                            It is also a great package that could replace many other packages as far as functionality. Fully open source/Unix compatible, compatible license (GNU/AGPL) and would add to the reliability and value of PFSense if integrated properly.
