Open Source Enterprise Grade Firewall
What do you like best about the product?
This is easily the most configurable open source firewall project I have come across.
If you want to build your own rather than buy rack based commercial products then i highly recommend.
We have full control and transparency over our perimeter with this solution.
The array of plugins available is great and integration of proven IDS and IPS solutions is very good also.
Over all its very good.

Its very hard to configure, and sometimes getting the right instruction for your version can be a nightmare.
Very steep learning curve but worth it.

Stick with it, but do some test builds and hardening before going live.

What do you dislike about the product?
The GUI does look slightly dated although the functionality is ideal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We avoided spending hundreds on a high end router/firewall by re-purposing retired hardware.
We use pfSense as our main office firewall and for VPN and content filtering.
