Looking forward to hear what everyone else is using, etc. I take it it's not advised to use pfsense as a syslog server too, even though that is a package I see on the list? ie: list of sites I can maintain + package for 'not good for kids' sites? This course teaches the configuration and use of some of the most powerful and popular packages available: Snort, HAProxy, RADIUS-mOTP and pfBlockerNG. Our newest training course, pfSense Supplementals I, is a perfect compliment to the skills learned in the Advanced Application class.

We teach network professionals to use and master pfSense software and its powerful packages. The default behavior of pfSense is to block all ports, and we want to. We have conducted numerous pfSense training sessions online and around the world. What about 'access blocker' for my family. By now, we should be able to articulate some best practices for ingress filtering. The default behavior for many firewalls is to block everything, good or bad. Is there built-in IP list to 100% deny IPs on that list? IE: Using some type of spam or security back-end to populate this list? (Maybe pfBlockerNG) PfSense is often frustrating for users new to firewalls. Security Tweaks (blocking entire countries, and other suggestions?) I'd like to see WAN, LAN, and then each local IP utilization currently / over time and history. I will VPN to this server from my pfsense router. Ideally would like to see a graph similar to how vmware does utilization for CPU so you can view 'entire usage %' and then per-core. Explore the best Internet, TV, and phone packages and deals we offer. Something to analyze bandwidth / where it's going. Maybe it might not work with older versions of pfSense. This package has been tested on pfSense 2.5.1-RELEASE (amd64). Squid + reporting package to view hits/misses/ip usage/etc Zeek Network Security Monitor package for pfSense router/firewall. What are you using in pfsense and how do you like it? Tips/Tricks? I've been using a vanilla pfsense install with minimal configuration changes, and now with my circuit upgraded I'm looking to get a bit more granular in terms of utilization graphs, caching and other security type add-ons.
