Taking advantage of this, they have also incorporated a new widget related to the status of the disks and that replaces the current “System Information” widget that we had.

By default in previous versions, UFS is always used, however, now by default we will have ZFS for installations, but logically we will still be able to choose UFS as the file system without any problem.įor pfSense Plus users we will have a specific widget for the pfSense main menu, where we will have the general status of ZFS to know in advance if there is any type of problem. Up to now, the pfSense operating system allowed to configure two types of file systems, ZFS or the UFS file system that is the usual one in FreeBSD.

If there are any 3rd party software settings or other internal changes that we have made manually that reference the old IPsec VTI interface names, they will need to be updated to the new format manually as the automatic process is only done on the native pfSense software, something completely logical and normal.Īnother important change incorporated is related to the status page and the widget, now it is much faster and shows much more complete information than before, and even additional useful functions have been incorporated, such as a button to connect and disconnect the IPsec tunnel from Quick and easy way, options for configuring IKE relays have also been added.Īlthough it has nothing to do with IPsec, the pfSense development team has also taken the opportunity to solve many failures and bugs that we had in the OpenVPN implementation, in addition, some options have been incorporated into the graphical user interface that until now only we had them available through the advanced custom parameters section. Now the names of the VTI interfaces have changed in this new version, the already existing configurations in the firewall will be updated automatically when possible with these new names.

The pfSense development team has made numerous changes and improvements to the IPsec built into pfSense, improving both the stability and performance of VPN tunnels with this protocol. The most notable changes are the following.
