Isaac `Ike' Levy will be presenting m0n0wall and PFSense, two BSD-based, packaged router/firewall solutions that are as solid and full featured as you'd expect from any BSD system. PFSense is, of course, based on PF.
Check the announcement for more details.

PFSense is more experimental, both platform -FreeBSD+PF- and web interface. Somewhat funky; too many eye-candy for my taste, but kinda useful for unexperienced people. And PF is really a plus! :)
Recommended product :D

as far as i know monowall uses ipfw not pf. thatīs one of the reasons pfsense forked (expandibility via packages beeing another one...).
iīve been useing pfsense for some time (3-4 months) on about 10 systems an couldnīt be happier. it lets you concentrate on your job an gives you confidence of knowing you have a great packet filter protecting you.

I agree, m0n0wall is no nonsense and rock solid.
pfSense is a little too heavy on the user interface, and is not really ready for prime-time yet. Very promising though.

really only because of a lack of wpa suupport, which may or may not be worked on. or you could work on it.

Well i'm not programmer. Of course I do everything for OpenBSD as i can (marketing, advocacy, websites, FAQs etc.). By making more ppl know about OpenBSD & more ppl use it, i believe some day, someone that use it because of me will add something nice to the OS. & other maybe help the project by buying Cs or sending some money fot the project. Ofcourse it's not some programming job that is need for OpenBSD, but as i said i'm not coder. I may do only what i can do. It's better than nothing :)

According to the documenation it uses iptables. There is at least one or two snort2pf type projects out there though.

Spoink and Snort2pf come to mind. I've not tested them, but they appear to be the kind of thing that's being looked for. HTH.
