This is one major omission IMO:
We have a notification mechanism that sends out email
Alerts, but it does not alert when software/package updates are available even though the system is aware of them as they are shown on the dashboard…

The pfSense system, particularly in a SoHO setup isn't something I feel like messing around with on a daily basis, it's set & forget for the most part. So there may be weeks going by before I have a reason to log in: then I see close to a dozen packages have updates available.

If I could get e-mail notifications as they become available that would make managing a pfSense setup much smoother.

Someone please create a package for http://nxfilter.org!!
It will make pfsense that much more awesome!

I use nxfilter at my office, routing all DNS through it, I create a rule in pfsense that the nxfilter box is the only host allowed to use port 53 to the outside, so all DNS is "forced" through it.
I then setup DNS servers for nxfilter, then I setup DHCP servers and all other devices and hosts on the LAN's/VLAN's to use nxfilter for DNS (DNS Forwarder).
This makes it virtually impossible for anyone to get past the Content filter!

Think of Schools and how handy this would be! (well also enterprise setups)

Same here.

I also would like to see a pfsense package for FreeNAS ( http://www.freenas.org ), the installation instructions that Ive seen has been way to complex.

DNS malware blacklisting using Unbound DNS

I found this project online that will feed in DNS blacklists and create a Unbound DNS file. This would be great as a extra measure to stop malware. It could be modified to allow any text file to be parsed to create a blacklist also.

A broad band modem monitor to monitor power level, signal level from ISP. Also, hardware monitoring of system temps, fan speeds, etc.

Squid 3.5

https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=squid&stype=all

We'll have to wait until the FreeBSD Port is updated first. Currently its at squid-3.4.11

squid-3.4.11
HTTP Caching Proxy
Long description : Changes
Maintained by: ports@FreeBSD.org
Also listed in: ipv6
Requires: perl5-5.18.4_11

Squid 3.5.5 seems ready now.

squid-3.5.5

Is it possible to update the bin without waiting for a new package?

It would be great to add IPMI support to zabbix proxy (and maybe dependant ipmitool)?

Does anybody use paris-traceroute? I hope somebody will add it to pfSense because it's more accurate than regular traceroute or MTR.

Its homepage: http://www.paris-traceroute.net/ and FreeBSD port: http://www.freebsdsoftware.org/net/paris-traceroute.html

My comparison between MTR and paris-traceroute:

MTR on pfsense:

Paris-traceroute from LAN

SoftEther VPN is also for FreeBSD 10 available, could be well
comes as a packet for pfSense 2.2.3 or higher. It is a so called VPN server, that offer a wide range,
more vpn variants than the original OpenVPN server, but OpenVPN itself too.

Really fast and wicked with many options and wide VPN features set.

+1 and would be awesome to have both client and server. This software is spreading up very quickly and looks to be a real alternative to OpenVPN :-)

Would be great I see it also, but there is only a server version available for FreeBSD 10!

This could really be coming up. This software is becoming more and more popular in usage in the wild.

Silly simple one - I'd like to see the Notes package contain a widget that can be displayed on the dashboard.

That way admins see it at login, don't have to go and look. A web version of "MOTD" if you like.

I've searched before posting and i can find anything suitable so im asking here first. Excuse my weak Google-Fu!

I'm looking for a way to export my PfSense information info into my AlienVault OSSIM .

I've found a few guides on the 'tinternet :) but they are for outdated PfSense and OSSIM versions.

Any chance of a plugin that is able to export the logs to OSSIM ?
