      I have some scenarios that I work with mikrotik and we avoid putting the source address to point access to the equipment via web or ssh. That's why I've always implemented portknocking on mikrotik, allowing addresses that hit the first port to fall into the addresslist and mikrotik waits 5 seconds for the next port and then releases access.

      Is this possible in pfsense?

        No, there is no port knocking implementation in pfSense. Yet.

        There is at least one open feature request: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/8547
