        @NG:

        At first many thanks to Ermal and others for great job with Snort package. I have one little wish to help my everyday job. We have pfsense in our network. This time it is securing 5 LAN networks and we have hundreds of users in our networks. Because our company have very tight internet rules we need to Snort our LAN side traffic also and block offenders in LAN networks. Problem is that when snort blocks out a user (or IP-address) there is no information send to user about that. Traffic just ends. Next thing is the user picks up the phone and calls us and reports internet failure. Is there any chance to get a popup window, redirection or at least error page to user that tells reason for blocking? It also would help us to fix problems in rules also. The page should say for example:"You are blocked out: #REASON#". Of cause there should be enable/disable tag and selection for LAN-networks also :)

        Something that may be more to what you are looking for and could work in tandem with pfSense is packetfence.

          Thanks!  I never knew that existed!!!!    I think if more people had that link, a lot of the questions would go away when the package maintainers make a change.

              Looks interesting but they don't appear to support FreeBSD.

                  WanAccelerator package

                  WANproxy, trafficSqueezer, (OpenNOP)
                  http://wanproxy.org/
                  http://www.trafficsqueezer.org/
                  http://www.opennop.org/ (Linux Only?)

                  I would like to have kind of VoIP wan optimizer, seem Traffic Squeezer has ability of..

                  The idea is can have the server mode and client mode for end -to- end tunnel for Codec g.729 or g.722 or g.726 on SIP or IAX protocol. Since we already have Asterisk package.

                  The Qos and Packet Sharper seem does not really help if we got bigger concurrent. But if we can squeeze the bandwidth it would really help.

                    It looks like only wanproxy has Freebsd support.

                    I could compile it, but i'ts not a freebsd port yet and may work better optimizing tcp connections.

                        Adding IP GeoLocation to monitor Pfsense logs would be a very productive addition.

                          I'd love to see a "Test Settings" package.  For example, you go to the package, and set a timer or date to test settings until.  It backs up your current config to a location, and adds a cronjob or something to reapply your "old" config at the end of the timer and reboot.  That way, if you're testing out some new rules, packages, or traffic shaping and something goes horribly wrong or you get locked out, you just need to wait out the timer to get back to your known good configuration.

                          I think it would be very handy for making changes remotely, where you're logged in through SSH or VPN and you could easily lose the ability to reconnect accidentally.

                            Monit for customized monitoring and alerting. This would be a solid addition to PFSense in an area where it is lacking; customized alerting and reporting.

                            It is also a great package that could replace many other packages as far as functionality. Fully open source/Unix compatible, compatible license (GNU/AGPL) and would add to the reliability and value of PFSense if integrated properly.

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

                                      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 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
