      Is there another tool or pfSense package that can replicate what udp_reflector can do on pfSense?"

      I use a project called Packetfence to manage network access. Part of its feature set is to track what IP address is assigned to devices. One way to do this is to install and setup udp_reflector on the DHCP server to also send all DHCP traffic to Packetfence.

      pfSense handles DHCP for all networks, so I need something to do what udp_reflector does on pfSense.

      Thank you.

        I have not seen anything like that for FreeBSD/pfSense but it's not complex, it could probably be ported easily enough.

        You might be able to do it with a mirror port on a bridge and some filtering. Or maybe just using netcat in a script.
