<p dir="auto">It is free of charge but to let it grow and save the future of this firewall distribution or make it done that the<br />
development cost is able to be pay you might be free to spend each year, sometimes or often likes you want<br />
it or you are able to do it. It on your free mind to do this and not any pressure!</p>
<p dir="auto">To solve this you might be also able to buy hardware appliances from the pfSense shop directly matching your<br />
criteria and workload or fits your needs and you will be also sure to get 100% compatible hardware in one act.<br />
This might be perhaps better then fiddling your own appliance and prevent you from all problems that are pointed to this.</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">2.Its installed on PC like os?</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Yes it is based on FreeBSD and so the best thing is to get a platform that is supported by FreeBSD for sure.</p>

<p dir="auto">(its not windows platform)</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Not no a Windows based OS or distribution, its based on FreeBSD!</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">and its accepted on all pc?</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Not really all, but the most of them, as told above, the best is to get a platform that is supported by FreeBSD (x86_64Bit)</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">3.Does this platform show to users login website when they connect to wifi? (something like mikrotik)</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Able to realize over the captive portal, you may also be able to set up MikroTik WiFi APs or UBNT APs as well for your<br />
usage.</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">4.Does it have billing? And can i connect users between 2 3 pfsense machines?</p>
