Details:


Based on the powerfully expressive pf packet filtering from OpenBSD,
and built on a base from FreeBSD; pfSense is a feature-rich,
extensible, open source firewall and routing solution. It allows for
advanced features such as policy based routing, packet normalization,
passive OS fingerprinting, layer 2 filtering, NAT, redundancy and
multli-WAN connections, and multiple VPN options. But wait - there's
more! Dynamic DNS, RADIUS integration, and captive portal! This in
only what is included in the base - there are many easy to install
addon packages.

You've probably heard about it on the mailing list from a couple of
people. We will cover at least the basics of setup and usage of this
powerful, yet easy to use firewall solution. If time allows, I will
also cover some of the features I have found more useful, as well as
any requested topics.
