And again... not to take away from pfsense. But untangle has some filtering. ( I actually use pfsense for our firewall/vpn/routing etc... and untangle for web/protocol filtering) As a firewall it is severely lacking, but is a half decent web/protocol filter - at least for those that are free. www.untangle.com

L3 (IPs) and L4 (protocol, TCP, UDP, GRE, ESP, etc.) are fully supported. I presume you mean higher layers, identifying what traffic is based on the actual payload rather than L3/4 header. 2.0 does have some application intelligence but that's not an option for immediate use. There aren't any similar open source options that do have that kind of functionality unless you build it yourself. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
