pfSense: The Definitive Guide

Filed under:General — jim @ 11:31 am

I haven’t been posting much lately, as per usual, and also as per usual I keep thinking I’ll get around to posting more. Well, this little tidbit does deserve a new post:

These past few months I’ve been working with the great folks behind pfSense, an awesome FreeBSD-based firewall system that has really impressed me at every turn. We’ve been using it quite a bit at work over the past year, so I’ve been contributing back in the form of documentation, code, testing, and other help wherever I can.

Along the way I started working with one of the project’s co-founders, Chris Buechler, on a book for the project.  It’s now available from several retailers, and more will be coming soon.

So if you are interested in pfSense, FreeBSD, firewalls, or other related concepts, you’re bound to find something useful in our book:

pfSense: The Definitive Guide to the pfSense Open Source Firewall and Router Distribution
by Christopher M. Buechler and Jim Pingle

It’s being published by Reed Media Services, and is now available Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
