pfSense 2.3.4: new version of the open source firewall

PfSense Web GUI

We have already talked about pfSense and other similar systems to implement firewall systems to give an extra point of security to your networks, and all for free and with this type of open source solutions. It is an operating system based on the latest version of the FreeBSD operating system. In this new version pfSense 2.3.4 numerous improvements have been implemented that we will now see.

Say that there are some alternatives to pfSense, like IPCopIn the case of this one it is a very similar system but based on Linux. Both are very good and have similar characteristics, and also a simple and intuitive web interface from which to make the appropriate configurations. You can install it as a system on any computer on your network to protect or filter traffic to other connected devices.

A number of changes have been included in the new maintenance release of the stable 2.3.x branch of pfSense after two months of development since the last release, version 2.3.4. Between the news, the stability of the system has been improved and some bugs have been eliminated. Security patches have also been implemented and they have not forgotten to add new functionalities. Furthermore, it is based on the FreeBSD 10.3-Release-p19 version of the famous Beastie OS.

Between the components that have been improved They are curl to version 7.54.0, ntpd 4.2.8p10_2, and other packages. The Dashboard has also been revamped, changes to the GUI in Google Chrome 58 and Mozilla Firefox 48 browsers, and other tweaks (see also Netgate Unique ID, an identifying serial number for users who purchase paid services) . This ID is supported by cloud services such as Microsoft Azure and also AWS (Amazon Web Service).
