[MAP] pfSense
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.
