PfSense 2.2-Release Now Available

Ive previously used PfSense as the main routers in offices on embedded hardware and in the data center on baremetal (for specific use cases). Its great. I recommend anyone to try this if you want low cost performance, without compromising on features.

PfSense is great, I've been using it for a few years. 2.2-RELEASE holds special significance to me, because I contributed a feature to this one :)

2.2-RELEASE also has a working 6rd implementation, so now I can finally use ipv6 :-)

You could have used it before with a gif tunnel. That's the way I've been doing 6rd on vanilla FreeBSD without any 6rd support.

edit:

Here's what you put in rc.conf

  cloned_interfaces="gif0"
  ipv6_activate_all_interfaces="YES"
  ifconfig_gif0="tunnel $MYIPv4 $THEIRIPv4"
  ifconfig_gif0_ipv6="inet6 alias $MYIPv6 $THEIRIPv6 prefixlen 128"
  ipv6_defaultrouter="$THEIRIPv6 -mtu 1280"

Is ARM support on the radar? There is more and more capable ARM hardware by the day, while x86 is not getting any cheaper.

I would be happy to try pfSense on something like BPI-R1 (dual-core 1 GHz Cortex-A7, Wi-Fi, etc., $69 for board)

Great news. I've been running pfSense at home and work for the past few years, and it's been great. Very stable, easy to configure, and quick with security fixes.

A pfSense box with a Ubiquiti UniFi access point is a really good combo. Far more stable than a typical consumer router, and not necessarily much more expensive.

It still ships an oudated port of PF. Horrible. Go run OpenBSD instead.
