Making pfSense in a Linux World!
Brought to you by: System76
Check out System76 on G+
This release brings many new features, with the biggest change being IPv6 support in most every portion of the system. There are also a number of bug fixes, and touch ups in general.
pfSense Gold is our $99 per year premium membership subscription program, designed to provide special benefits to our members while supporting ongoing development of the Open Source pfSense project.
The following companies sell the hardware the developers use. This means purchasing from these vendors ensures
the device is thoroughly tested, and if compatibility problems come up in future releases they will likely be quickly
found and fixed more.
Other Nice Features:
-
NTP Server for your LAN, can even pull from a serial attached GPS
-
Wake on LAN. Add a MAC address from a PC on your LAN, then wake it from the firewall as needed.
-
Easy to manage uPNP for balanced security and convenience.
-
High Availability Sync
pfsync transfers state insertion, update, and deletion messages between firewalls. Each firewall sends these messages out via multicast on a specified interface, using the PFSYNC protocol (IP Protocol 240). It also listens on that interface for similar messages from other firewalls, and imports them into the local state table.
