Packages wishlist?

Feature 1: When machine reboots it would be nice if it could send an email after all connections are UP (WAN)

Eventually there will be a more full-featured notification system in the GUI to let people define events and what to send and such.

@maverick_slo:

Feature 2: When PPPoE WAN disconnects and later when it connects back option to send an email

May not be too hard, but see above.

@maverick_slo:

Feature 3: Logs viewer: instead of 50-2000 limit display whole log and subpages to browse the log
also to be able to select month,day, protocol and individual interface and then display log after selection has been made

That isn't likely to happen. If you need the logs, it's easy to export them via syslog to another box. Keeping all of the logs would require a lot of changes to the code and syslog setup and would break embedded installs, among other things. There are plenty of good third-party log parsers/syslog collectors that already let you drill-down with queries like that.

@maverick_slo:

Feature 4: Firewall log: color interfaces (WAN red, LAN green) to quickly distinguish between interfaces

Probably not hard to implement, but not something there is a lot of requests for. It would be really easy to end up making the logs ugly and hard to read rather than making things better.

Feature 5: I`ve heard that Dansguardian and ClamAV is coming to pfSense great to know :)

Clamav is already there, see HAVP package.

Awsome!

Number 1 and 2 are really useful features I really hope to be added someday :)

How about fetchmail - I know it was looked at some years ago.

I was advised to post this to the package wish list (hopefully I am in the right place):

About a decade ago there was an application written for Linux called peep. It took processes and put sound to them so that you didn't have to load/view a monitoring application to ascertain the state of your network devices, such as a firewall.
Has anyone given any thought to creating a package for pfsense to utilize this application?

I am new to this forum. I searched on the subject and hand and came up empty so I decided to start a new topic.
If I have opened a discussion that already has a thread, I apologize.
If I am opening this subject in the wrong context, again I apologize.
Please advise.

I second that!!

@ber1teguh:

I would like to see reporting as one of the main features. This should be able to generate reports on any aspect of pfsense as well as scheduling and send the reports by email automatically.
I know there is a mailreport package and it's a good one. But good can always be better. For example, mailreport can send you email report contains rrd graphs only, there is no way to customized the email body itself. Even the rrd graphs are only attached to the email and not embedded in the body.
I would like to be able to create custom mail report with my own signatures if that's possible.

Hello Everyone!

Can we (or do we already) have a package to log URL History of all users/IPs? I need it very badly.

Thank you,

Rahul..

Yes,

squid proxy + lightsquid.

But you must configure proxy settings on client browsers to force all urls including https going to squid.

this tutorial shows 3 options on how to setup automatic detect proxy settings.

Thanks for your reply.

I know about squid, but that'll proxy all of the requests. While I want to use Public IP on LAN side & advertise user's real IP to the internet (fully transparent). That is (i think) not possible with squid package?

marcelloc

if possible only in transparente mode, so no https support for it.

i'd like to see a different reporting system for squid, one which could email reports daily, maybe something like SARG..

the ones available don't have manager appeal. 8)

yes we need that package please include that package

xbaha

would love to see package communicate to COM port, and send characters, mainly could be used in embedded devices for serial-display LCDs…

tritron

Like lcdproc that been part of pfsense for long time and works with number of devices and lcd displays.

I'm voting for frox - ftp proxy server. This small package exist for FreeBSD but it's not starting automatically when added with pkg_add.

This is a better proxy for ftp connections than squid with all ports included in CONNECT method.
