Idea to install TCPcrypt into pfSense
-
Hi all, I would like to see integration of TCPcrypt into pfSense if possible or a one click install if you want it added.
I would try to install TCPcrypt into pfSense but I do not want to brake my pfSense system as I'm just learning FreeBSD, so need a developers help for this one, as it involves IPtables being changed a little I would say.
OK… what is TCPcrypt and what dose it do you maybe asking, well is a Opportunistic encryption, (OE) refers to any system that, when connecting to another system, attempts to encrypt the communications channel otherwise falling back to unencrypted communications. This method requires no pre-arrangement between the two systems to provide end-to-end encryption in the transport layer.
TCPcrypt has very high performance (up to 25x faster than SSL), making it feasible for high volume servers to enable encryption on all connections. While weaker by default, TCPcrypt is more realistic for a universal deployment.

There is no iptables on pfSense in the first place.

Thanks for your reply, because I'm new to BSD and pfsense would you be able to help me set TCPcrypt up, as I see you are very clued on to pfsense setup and you have already saved me with with the code you did on setting up firewalls and there lists.
