Crappy email client and top posting. also remember the config for pfSense is stored in XML, not the .conf file directly.

Not as far as I can tell. Fwbuilder would conflict with the pfSense GUI; every time you made any change at all (not necessarily just to firewall rules!) in the pfSense GUI, everything you did in fwbuilder would be overwritten. It should in theory be possible for fwbuilder to import the pfSense configuration, and it should in theory also be possible to modify pfSense to adopt a "foreign" pf.conf every time it regenerates, but that would cause lingering breakage throughout the system, since services & packages expect to be able to modify the ruleset at need. Really, if you want to use fwbuilder instead of pfSense's GUI, you're probably better off just running OpenBSD or FreeBSD directly. -Adam Svavar Örn Eysteinsson <sva...@fiton.is> wrote: Hello. I have been using fwbuilder for a very long time now. Today I'm very interested in pfsense and would like to know if someone, or is it possible to use fwbuilder to configure firewall policy ? Correct me if I'm wrong, pfsense uses the BSD pf filter right ? So it should be possible, ? Maybe just replacing the .conf file with the generated .conf from fwbuilder ? Any success stories, and or information much appreciated. Best regards, Svavar - Reykjavik - Iceland
