Usually when people mention they run pfSense it means, "I heard pfSense is good for security so I use it". If I get that impression in an interview, GG. IMO it's an easy litmus test for netsec/secops roles. If you can't write a pf rule, there are probably bigger issues. OpenBSD is the way to go. I also think the pfSense CEO has a massively inflated ego and pays little homage to the roots of his software. Does pf really need a GUI? edit: clarity.

Are you saying that people who use pfSense don't know what they are doing?

  Not quite. But I am saying I've always found better candidates.

> I also think the pfSense CEO has a massively inflated ego and pays little homage to the roots of his software. The Netgate CEO is a woman. (I am not the CEO.)

  That only happened late 2015. I'm talking about some reddit comments by whomever was in control of pfSense.

    That was me making those comments. The person who has been CEO since September 2012 is a woman.
