          This would seem like an ideal candidate to include in pfSense:

              Actually a forum wishlist: make sub-sections for each package under the Packages section.
              It's pretty hard to browse all relevant threads relevant to a particular package, it would be easier to have these threads grouped.
              That would also make it easier for maintainers to have a quick look if there's activity, and for users to see if a package is alive.

                With the kind of ever-increasing big-brother mentality on the internet, having TOR on as many routers as possible would make things a lot better. Fighting against big brother politically is important, but in the mean time, it's also helpful to use technology…

                  I would like to see that too.  Maybe as part of updating SMF?

                  Having a subsection in the forum would also make it a bit easier to get a feel for the stability of packages.

                    I guess that creating a sub-forum for each and every pfSense package might be a bit too much, but perhaps a sub-forum for the "tier-1" packages (snort, squid, haproxy/varnish etc) or for 4-5 main "categories" ids/ips (snort etc), proxy/rev.proxy (squid, haproxy, varnish), monitoring (zabbix, nrpe), L7 filtering (squidguard, dansguardian), routing (openbgp, quagga) etc

                      • PBX in a flash

                      imho more attractive than merely freeswitch

                      there are numerous threads on pbx in a flash forums on how to install with pfsense.  It would be easier as a package

                        currently released as a browser extension for firefox and chromium

                        it's a "counter intelligence" interweb tool that is not only for the tinfoil hatter club

                          export settings to one/all of

                          http://s3.amazon.com
                          http://joynet.com
                          http://dreamhost.com/cloud/

                          As part of the AWS Free Usage Tier, you can get started with Amazon S3 for free. Upon sign-up, new AWS customers receive 5 GB of Amazon S3 standard storage, 20,000 Get Requests, 2,000 Put Requests, and 15GB of data transfer out each month for one year.

                          additionally amazon customers receive free 5 GB storage s3 (not in addition to the free tier, but also not limited to one year of freeness) and separately 5 FB storage clouddrive

                          (there's also a free year of EC2 in which one may run PBX in a Flash until it's a package for pfSense) ;)

                            some guru way to discourage protracted non-OTR encrypted conversations?

                              SIPsorcery  (it doesn't do RTP)

                              If you wanted to add more VoiceGateways to your Obihai (or other ATA) this would be one option, and less costly self hosted.  Aaron has made the source f/OSS.  (I never use googlevoice or other google properties; to cut down on headaches don't try to maintain GV functionality)

                                Given the some of the recent feedback regarding problems with using BGP under pfSense, based on this discussion at the freebsd-net mailing list, it seems that bird might be the answer …

                                  HAProxy-devel also supports SSL, but is not ready for production and also SNI could be an issue.

                                  So I request a package for Stud (https://github.com/bumptech/stud) is a lightweight and easy to configure proxy which can coexist with HAProxy to support SSL and SNI for production servers. Thanks!

                                    Since Snort is single-threaded, wouldn't it be nice to include a package for suricata (http://suricata-ids.org/) which supports mutli-threaded processing?

                                      Looks like a great one. I also think the non-proprietary nature would make it a better fit, and with more and more GPU-power, CUDA support could make quite a difference in CPU load and allow for better utilization of existing hardware.
                                      Also, Snort, over the past, seems to have been rather fickle, and quite the resource hog. Anything that's more efficient and less picky or easier to configure would be a good step forward.

                                            A STUN server package would also be VERY useful.

                                            http://sourceforge.net/projects/stun/

                                            Basically, as "low end" hardware gets more powerful, pfSense would be very useful to evolve into a "network border server" in addition to being a firewall router.

                                            Tons of services that need to be available from the public net, and that one may not want to puncture the protective wall, could simply run on the firewall device: STUN, OwnCloud, FreeSwitch/Asterisk/PBSinAFlash, Suricata/Snort, privoxy/trackmenot/TOR, etc.

                                            If we don't want a totally cluttered environment, at some point it may make sense to have "official" packages, which are fully integrated and tested to cover certain aspects of a network border server.
