pc engine - pfsense as router / firewall

download (1)Just built a pfsense router on  a pc engine to replace my aging 7390 fritzbox…. Very very awesome and fast!

Perfect for UFB (ultra fast broadband) here in New Zealand - FTTH has arrived :)

I’m currently running these services on it (2 x 1GHZ cpu, 4GB RAM, 16GB msata SSD);

  • dhcpd - DHCP server
  • miniupnpd - UPnP server
  • ntpd - NTP server
  • squid - Transparent Proxy & Reverse Proxy
  • snort - IDS (Intrusion Detection System) / IPS (Intrusion Prevention System)
  • ssd - SSH server
  • unbound - DNS Server
  • ipsec - IPsec VPN (site to site VPN)
  • openvpn - Open VPN (client VPN)
