Out of interest, I looked into this.
I haven’t exposed my web-interface, so I can’t check with ssllabs checker.

Above site recommends:
ssl.dh-file=

and the path to the strong dh-group created by

openssl dhparam -out dhparams.pem 2048


However, this is not included in my configuration:

ssl.engine = "enable"
ssl.pemfile = "/var/etc/cert.pem"
ssl.engine = "enable"
ssl.pemfile = "/var/etc/cert.pem"
ssl.use-sslv2 = "disable"
ssl.use-sslv3 = "disable"
ssl.honor-cipher-order = "enable"
ssl.cipher-list = 
"AES128+EECDH:AES256+EECDH:AES128+EDH:AES256+EDH:AES128-SHA:AES256-SHA:!aNULL:!eNULL:!DSS“


Maybe pfSense is smart enough to figure out that maybe my aging ALIX board is 
just too slow for this?

I also can’t find any security-advisory on this.
