Netgate pfSense

Netgate

pf state tables, NAT, VPN and FreeBSD host diagnostics on pfSense.

pfSense from the shell instead of the web UI: pf rules and state tables, NAT and traffic counters, IPsec and OpenVPN status, DHCP and DNS services, and the FreeBSD-level checks underneath.

Installed with SmartCom Revisited 1.6.1 — there is nothing to download. Open the button panel and it is there.

3 sets

Each one imports on its own, so a bundle this size never arrives as a single wall of buttons. Hide the sets you do not need, or name the ones a connection uses and the panel shows only those.

They arrive pre-tagged, so you do not have to name them at all: tag a connection firewall and the matching sets appear on it.

pfSense - Firewall & States

25 buttons 9 prompt 7 guarded

pf rules, state table, NAT translations and blocked traffic.

The packet filter itself: loaded rules with counters, the state table filtered to one host or port, NAT translations, and the log of what pf has been dropping.

Read it before you run it

These commands were written from Netgate's documented syntax and checked for structure — not run against live Netgate pfSense hardware. Every button shows its full script in the app before you press it. For anything destructive, read that script and try it in a lab first.
