      Has anyone run across a utility or something that will parse a pfSense backup xml file or the pfSense > Status report ([pfsenseip]/status.php), lift out just the non-default settings, and format that in some human readable form? I'd like to try a radically different pfSense setup from a factory reset, but have that information on hand for a basis.

        No but you could always diff it against the default configuration after it is reset.

        It will likely be a lot of output however. The backup configuration itself might be more useful.

          Yep. That's what I'm wading through right now. I'm not done, but I've cut it down from someplace around 100 pages of text to a mere 50. 😁

            For things like firewall rules, NAT, and Aliases /tmp/rules.debug is probably the most concise representation immediately available.
