                mbuffer (and mhash, needed by mbuffer) would be great - have my replacement for bandwidthd working, but need mbuffer to really make it work … ;)

                Thanks!

                    Agreed with NTOPNG. Watching this on github with great anticipation.

                      my wishlist:

                      mc
                      exim OR postfix OR sendmail OR ssmtp OR any other MTA to create openrelay
                      nginx web GUI - to set up virtualhosts, upstreams. (for example take some expirience from Ajenti)
                      docker - it will allow set up almost any service
                      monit
                      munin

                        My wish is very simple . . .  fail2ban or equivalent.  Where I could setup arguments to scan the logs and modify firewall rules based off those.

                        Currently running fail2ban on many downstream devices paired with IPtables and it works great.  It would be nice to have the package scan remote logs as well; for instance, scan Apache logs and make changes at the firewall when an attack is happening.

                          xrdp

                          Specifically, because it would be great to be able to create an RDP gateway within my pfsense edge router, so that I don't have to maintain xrdp on a separate VM.
                          Regardless of method though, even if it were just a pkg that could be manually installed via the shell by advanced users and then appropriately (manually) firewalled and natted, it would be a great edition to the selection of packages.

                          ..and while I'm here… THANK YOU! <- to whoever got the BIND-DNS package back online for the newest build.  Whoever did the work on that has my eternal gratitude.  I only wish I had waited a few more days before migrating builds because I could have saved myself a lot of work.

                            • ZFS by default

                            • Package to setup mounted USB disk as a ZFS device, copy / backup the current system across so you can reboot from it, then back that up to your internal drive (i.e. simple UFS -> conversion!)

                            • Wireless AC 1300 drivers would be amazing but I know thats a big ask

                            • Ability to serve simple static webpages from an archive or git checkout using nginx (useful for internal bookmarks for staff etc…)

                            • A page that shows your detected hardware and highlights any items that may have potential problems

                            • Much better traffic shaping wizard (badly needed, not really a package though)

                            • Proper vim package (that supports backspace etc…)

                                My request is that add in the available packages samba 4 or which is newest version.
                                I think many people will be glad if this package can install and configurate via webgui.

                                  I would like to see a package for installing UniFi controller like in this project https://github.com/gozoinks/unifi-pfsense

                                  I don’t know what the project owner is planning, maybe he needs some help and support, but I’m not able to do so. I wrote a little feedback with some ideas

                                  I used your script to install unifi 5.0.8 into my pfSense 2.3.1_p5. Had to modify the download URL. It would be nice to see a pfSense package. I think it would be a good idea to separate the install script from the unifi software so it can be used whenever unifi changes the software.
                                  What do you think about having your script integrated in the pfSense GUI maybe under the Service menu? From this UniFi Service menu it would be possible to install or update the controller software with all its dependencies as the script does now. But it will not download the controller software by itself. The user has to download it first from the UBNT site to his local computer. Then he choose the downloaded zip file to upload it to the pfSense. Also within the Service menu it will be possible to start or stop the controller, of course its status will be shown on  the dashboard of pfSense.

                                  and get this answer

                                  Thank you for the feedback.

                                  A proper pfSense package was the original intention of the project, but I struggled with the requirement that the package include all binaries. Since this project requires software from Ubiquiti that we can't redistribute ourselves, I stalled on that.

                                  At least, that was the case with <2.2. Now that 2.3 and later are using a different approach to packaging, that restriction may no longer be present. However, I have not dug into it all to figure out how best to proceed.

                                  Consider bringing this up as an issue on the repository. I'd love to continue the discussion there, in case someone else sees an easier path forward. Feel free to contribute yourself as well!

                                  Maybe someone here is willing to help this project going on.

                                    The restriction is still the same: that software can't be redistributed as a package.

                                      With my idea the package does not have to redistribute the software. The package would only install the dependencies and and gives a GUI to enter the URL of the software. I don’t think that would be a problem. Or am I wrong?

                                        @ Admin?

                                        Is there anyway to bring back MailScanner?

                                        and is there a way to use 3rd party AV with pfsense?
