how to use pfSense configuration on FreeBSD os?
-
hi. I used pfSense and configured some services on pfSense like squid proxy and openvpn and ntp and DNS Resolver and ... and this services working correctly.
How i can use this configuration and config on freeBSD OS? likely clone or export configurations and use on FreeBSD or some other ways.
thanks for your solutions. -
no anyone to help me?

@umm12 pfsense is based on FreeBSD however it is not FreeBSD.
-
It has extra programs and specific configuration
-
It has pruned version of specific components from FreeBSD. Adding and swapping versions of the components with FreeBSD is likely to break pfsense
In summary I do not think what you want to do is possible or if it is would require a lot of testing and expertise.

pfSense is NOT a FreeBSD configuration GUI.

@patch
can i install pfsense on mikrotik? -
@umm12 see hardware sub forum search and Installation sub forum search
I suspect probably not.
What processor is it based on? MIPS wont work
Can you boot from an external device? -
@patch
pfSense now installed on a PC and i configured some services on this.
now i want to use this configuration file on hardware.
that means i want use this configured pfSense on a hardware like mikrotik and another device. -

Choices
- Buy Netgate hardware
- Buy hardware with AMD64 compatible processor and load pfsense on that
See Hardware forum

@patch
Which hardware i can buy and install pfSense on this and then connect to them with cable and wireless? -
You could export the various config files for some things from a running pfSense system and use them in FreeBSD but it would still require a lot of additional changes.

Boy that would be a good amount of work. If one only wanted the firewall rules, simple pfctl -s rules on the running pfSense box and use that output to populate a FreeBSD pf.conf would not be much effort. One would have to pay attention to the interface names but other than that, should be straightforward.The rest of the services, you'd have to go through one at a time.
I wouldn't even try to get the GUI going. -
Yup, you can use /tmp/rules.debug and load that into pf with pfctl directly.
You could export, for example, the OpenVPN conf file(s). And the Squid conf file. And that would be most of the config but there would certainly be a load of other work required.
