About Pfsense
Pfsense was created in 2004 as a fork of the m0n0wall project. It was developed to provide more flexibility and features compared to its predecessor, aiming to offer advanced firewall and routing capabilities for both small and large networks.
Strengths of Pfsense include its comprehensive feature set, strong security capabilities, and flexibility. Weaknesses may involve a steep learning curve for beginners and potential performance issues on underpowered hardware. Competitors include OPNsense, Untangle, and Sophos UTM.
