Carbon Black endpoint install on pfSense
-
I think I know the answer but looking to confirm. What is the stance of netgate/pfSense with regard to installing security endpoints, specifically Carbon Black.
-
It would be completely unsupported. I looked briefly at their website but it seemed to be 98% marketing. Do they even have a FreeBSD client?

@usafit why would you think that should go on your firewall.. Endpoint is in the name even, pfsense or any router/firewall is not an "endpoint"
The firewall aspect of pfsense, just allows you to control what is routed.. Can endpoint A on network X talk to endpoint B on network Y..
An endpoint is something that starts a conversation, the other end point is what that something is talking to.. Pfsense is the router between when those 2 things are on different network..
Sure when you access the gui of say pfsense, then pfsense is the endpoint in that conversation.. But vast majority of traffic flows thru pfsense, pfsense is not the "endpoint".. Installing such software doesn't make a lot of sense for something like pfsense.. You would put that on your VM host, or the vm themselves or you laptop or your PC, or your phone, etc. Some iot device..
