pfSense is a good operating system and provides a nice pointy-clicky interface for configuration. I'll give it that. I was a bit turned off by how they yanked the pfsense-tools repository and then put in some restrictions on access to it. (Jim: There's no need to reply and have the same conversation yet again. I'm well aware of what your reasons for doing so were and you are well within your rights to do it; we don't have to agree with it or like it, though.)

pfSense-tools is no longer used in pfSense 2.3 (which is in beta). https://blog.pfsense.org/?p=1842 https://blog.pfsense.org/?p=1842

pfSense is FreeBSD with a clunky web interface that does some "magic" with PHP using XML. now, that characterization won't be as accurate in the future (I'm genuinely curious to see what happens with python, dpdk, and other things they've mentioned/hinted at) but let's be entirely honest here: it's FreeBSD with a web interface and a support company behind it.

  Most router/firewall distributions can be described in such overly-simplistic terms.
