What is pfSense?
pfSense is an open-source firewall and router platform built on FreeBSD and developed by Netgate, designed to provide enterprise-grade network security without the cost of proprietary appliances. It offers a web-based interface, flexible deployment options, and extensive customization capabilities, making it a strategic choice for organizations seeking control over their network perimeter and internal segmentation.
pfSense is used to enforce network security policies, manage traffic flow, and support secure connectivity through features such as VPN, load balancing, and intrusion detection integrations. Security teams leverage pfSense to build resilient architectures, support Zero Trust segmentation strategies, and enhance visibility across hybrid environments.
