This session will first provide an introduction and
overview of pfSense and its common uses. It will
then go on to cover means of providing redundancy
for the critical portions of your network perimeter
using pfSense, including redundancy for your Internet
connections, firewalls and DNS. Live configuration
examples will be shown for as many of these topics
as the session's length permits. This session will
cover pfSense 1.2.1, but will also offer an overview
of some of the enhanced capabilities in this area
that pfSense 2.0 will provide in the future.

UNIX professionals are busy these days. Setting up
routers and firewalls are fundamental to any network,
but in environments where the focus is on various
applications, (servers, workstations, and the
software that runs on them), it`s difficult for a
business not to choose off-the-shelf SOHO routers
and networking gear. The web management gui`s are
understandable by everyone, (even techs without
UNIX knowledge), and the gear is cheap - this saves
time and money.
In the meantime, the features of your average Linksys
or Netgear router often leave MUCH to be desired,
(https auth management, for one simple example).
Enter m0n0wall and PFSense, 2 BSD based packaged
router/firewall solutions that are as solid and
full featured as you`d expect from any BSD system-
PLUS THEY HAVE HTML WEB INTERFACES FOR MANAGEMENT!
m0n0wall and PFSense become an easy sell in any
small professional enviornment, any competent tech
can manage the network within minutes... At home,
in every hackers home network, they free the hacker
to have trusted tools available, but are as time-saving
as using any Linksys router.
m0n0wall and PFSense are both light and clean,
designed to run on embedded systems- (Soekris,
WRAP), but are monsters when unleashed on even
legacy PC`s around the office. If you manage UNIX
networks and systems all day, do you really want
to manage the router for your DSL when you get home?
But then doesn`t it bug you to use a chincey Linksys
box?

spoken frequently on a number of topics at various
venues, particularly on the issue of FreeBSD`s jail
(8).

pfSense: 2.0 and beyond
From firewall distribution to appliance building platform
pfSense is a BSD licensed customized distribution
of FreeBSD tailored for use as a firewall and router.
In addition to being a powerful, flexible firewalling
and routing platform, it includes a long list of
related features and a package system allowing
further expandability without adding bloat and
potential security vulnerabilities to the base
distribution.
This session will start with an introduction to the
project and its common uses, which have expanded
considerably beyond firewalling. We will cover much
of the new functionality coming in the 2.0 release,
which contains significant enhancements to nearly
every portion of the system as well as numerous new
features.
While the primary function of the project is a
firewalling and routing platform, with changes
coming in pfSense 2.0, it has also become an appliance
building framework enabling the creation of customized
special purpose appliances. The m0n0wall code where
pfSense originated has proved popular for this
purpose, with AskoziaPBX and FreeNAS also based
upon it, in addition to a number of commercial
solutions. The goal of this appliance building
framework is to enable creation of projects such
as these without having to fork and maintain another
code base. The existing appliances, including a DNS
server using TinyDNS, VoIP with FreeSWITCH, and
others will be discussed. For those interested in
creating appliances, an overview of the process
will be provided along with references for additional
information.

pfSense Tutorial
From Zero to Hero with pfSense
pfSense is a free, open source customized distribution
of FreeBSD tailored for use as a firewall and router.
In addition to being a powerful, flexible firewalling
and routing platform, it includes a long list of
related features and a package system allowing
further expandability without adding bloat and
potential security vulnerabilities to the base
distribution. pfSense is a popular project with
more than 1 million downloads since its inception,
and proven in countless installations ranging from
small home networks protecting a PC and an Xbox to
large corporations, universities and other organizations
protecting thousands of network devices.
This tutorial is being presented by the founders
of the pfSense project, Chris Buechler and Scott
Ullrich.
The session will start with an introduction to the
project, hardware sizing and selection, installation,
firewalling concepts and basic configuration, and
continue to cover all the most popular features of
the system. Common usage scenarios, deployment
considerations, step by step configuration guidance,
and best practices will be covered for each feature.
Most configurations will be demonstrated in a live
lab environment.
Attendees are assumed to have basic knowledge of
TCP/IP and firewalling concepts, however no in-depth
knowledge in these areas or prior knowledge of
pfSense or FreeBSD is necessary.
