      Hi,

      I would like to check if pfSense can support Webfilter and IPS (intrusion prevention system)

      If these features can be supported, may I know how to enable them and if there is any software Licenses to purchase to activate the features ?

      Thanks

      Regards
      Kwang Mien

        @kwangmien There is a section in this forum for IDS/IPS where you find all you need on Suricata and Snort. Then there is another package called pfBlockerNG which I guess is what you might be thinking of as web filter.

        No software licenses required and there are both free and paid versions of the rulesets used. And for pfblocker you would benefit from getting a MaxMind license, also free.
