New to PFSense

[litibenys54]

So I've heard of PFSense a few months back but now decided to check it out. So I'm a total noob here. From YouTube videos and Google searches, PFSense seems quite powerful along with its best feature, being free makes me wanna dive in and check it out within a test environment.

In your own words, how would you describe PFSense? Is it like a ISR 4300 series Cisco router and ASA 5500 series firewall made a child and call it PFSense?

Any analogy would do.

Thanks!

The introduction section from the docs sums it up nicely:
