No OTP on different reverse proxy pages. No SSL portal for ssl applications to serve. An ssl portal i installed it from sophos with pfsense as front page , just to offer ssl vpn ( clientless).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At first a firewall to which filters good to my expectation. I configured HA proxy with Outlook and web sites with this tool. To get an secure connection i use Let's encrypt and the cert's can be managed by pfsense.
A firewall that does what we need with a great knowledgebase behind it

The initially high purchase price. But is it actually big deal? I think not.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
If you have a Netgate without an internal switch the vlan configuration is easy to understand.
Complex firewall rules without GUI, DNS resolving, IDS, nTop and VPN configurations are quickly done. And there are actual people with knowledge out there you can hire.

What do you dislike about the product?
The Netgate system isn't stable. When operating with a few essential packages such as pfblockerng, snort, wireguard and etc. The unbound package has tons of issues, and it's very unstable and will often crash when pfblockerng is undergoing a cron job. Even though the Service Watch dog could potentially restart services, unbound still wouldn't fix itself after a crash without a time-consuming human intervention.

Pfsense allows me to profile my home and office networks, interact with interfaces remotely through VPNs, filter advertisements and a wide variety of web contents of my choice, and mitigate attacks targeted to servers that are sitting behind the firewalls.
