      Hi.

      I've setup pfSense on a virtualBox and so far so good.
      Just wondered if there were any Windows or Linux tools I can use to test how robust it is and ensure only the ports I've opened are open and to the correct addresses.

      Are there any recommended firewall testing tools ? ideally Free :D

      Thanks

        There are lots of online scanners such as Shields Up.  Install and learn nmap if you want to go deeper.
