      Hey everyone,

      PfSense as a router shows in great detail everything that flows in/out of your network. No other consumer router I've ever used shows such detail. Running services on pfSense also means that every device on your network benefits from pfSense. Instead of setting up utilities on your PC clients, set them up once on pfSense. An example would be running DNSSEC on pfSense. Now all your devices globally utilize DNSSEC. A sweet feature on pfSense is the firewall functions. Until I used pfSense, I never realized all the remote attempts to penetrate my consumer Comcast connection. On average, I get two attempts per minute form countries all over the world. China and Russia are the main door knockers. Up until pfSense, I would never believed it was that many attempts.
