      I want to do a project where I develop a custom deep learning Intrusion Detection System (IDS). I have thought about using pfsense as an opensource firewall. I was wondering if I can develop pfsense packages with python. From what I have read online, it looks like you can install python but I dont know how much in python I will be able to do. Can I use tensorflow, pytorch within pfsense?

      Would anyone suggest using any other type of framework?

      Thanks

        I would look at the other packages that have python as a dependency like pfBlockerNG:
