PfSense is well-known for delivering quite a few features that are only otherwise available on high-priced commercial firewalls. Additionally, with the release of pfSense 2.0 in 2011, a number of new capabilities happen to be added for the software. Listed below are 5 attributes that supply compelling causes to deploy pfSense on your network.
[1] Load balancing: Using several components with load balancing, a method for distributing workloads across numerous computers or other sources, may perhaps increase reliability. It is frequently only needed inside massive or sensitive systems (one example is, preferred web sites, significant IRC networks, high-bandwidth FTP sites, NNTP and DNS servers), and not all firewall and router products help load balancing. pfSense, having said that, supports it, and can be configured to load-balance or failover redundant WAN interfaces. Load-balancing will divide all traffic among the interfaces although failover will use a single interface, but upon failover it can automatically switch to one more. This brings us to the subsequent function:
[2] Failover: PfSense is usually configured to switch to a redundant or standby computer system server, system, hardware component or network upon the failure or abnormal termination of the previously active application, server, system, hardware component or network. As an example, you might configure pfSense to automatically redirect traffic in the primary webserver to a backup webserver within the even of a failure. You'll be able to even configure a number of pfSense systems for failover, so if one pfSense pc goes down, the firewall nonetheless functions.
[3] Customizable guidelines: All firewalls have guidelines, but pfSense, particularly with version 2.0, has made guidelines highly customizable. By way of example, a rule is often set up to only accept traffic from a certain OS (Windows. MacOS and Linux are supported, of course, too as a number of UNIXoid variants and Novell). Also, there is a scheduling option, so guidelines will only invoked during certain hours and days, and many other options.
[4] MAC address spoofing: The majority of the time, an ISP registers the client's MAC address for service and billing services. This can be circumvented conveniently by MAC spoofing, and it's trivially quick in pfSense, exactly where MAC spoofing is as very simple as typing within a diverse MAC address for a network interface. This could be handy if you'd like to force the ISP's DHCP server to lease you a brand new IP address, or for other motives.
[5] VPN: Most firewalls and routers support virtual private networks (VPNs), but couple of have the flexibility of pfSense. By way of example, m0n0wall supports VPNs, and has lots of from the options you'd count on to determine for VPNs (e.g. assistance for different encryption and hash algorithms and diverse authentication techniques), but m0n0wall only supports the IPSec and PPTP protocols. PfSense, alternatively, supports IPSec and PPTP too as OpenVPN and L2TP protocols, and has many sophisticated options, which include NAT traversal (allowing users to connect from behind restrictive firewalls) and dual peer detection.
This list of characteristics is not, by any implies an exhaustive one, but they are some of the factors why pfSense is far more flexible and strong than competing firewall/router products.
