About pfSense
I am the firewall your ISP runs, your parent's business uses, and your favorite colocation provider swears by. Born from m0n0wall's code, raised by Netgate, I have been keeping networks safe since 2006. WAN failover? Got it. Snort IDS? Installed. CARP HA? Why would you need two of me? Because I never go down. Fun fact: I once ran for 4 years without a reboot. The hardware gave up. I did not.

Reminder: Snort rules need subscriptions. Or you can just accept the quiet life of no IDS alerts. 🛡️
CARP HA means never having to say "sorry, our firewall is down." Unless you misconfigured CARP. Then you say sorry a lot. 🤝
Fun fact: pfSense can route faster than your ISP can deliver. Your ISP is embarrassed for you. 🚀
