Het pfSense project is in 2004 begonnen als een afsplitsing van m0n0wall vanwege verschillende visies bij de ontwikkelaars, en in de loop van de jaren uitgegroeid tot een router- en firewallpakket dat in zowel kleine als zeer grote omgevingen kan worden ingezet. Voor meer informatie verwijzen we naar deze pagina. Het ontwikkelteam heeft pfSense 2.4.3-p1 en 2.3.5-p2 uitgebracht met de volgende veranderingen:

Important Information
At this time, pfSense 2.3.x is a Security and Errata maintenance branch only. pfSense 2.4.x is the primary stable supported branch. If the firewall hardware is capable of running pfSense 2.4.x, consider upgrading to that release instead. If you have not yet upgraded to pfSense version 2.4.0 or later, read the information in the 2.4.0 Release Announcement before updating for important information that may impact the ability of a firewall to upgrade to pfSense version 2.4.x. If either by choice or by hardware limitations a firewall cannot be upgraded to pfSense 2.4.x, see the pfSense 2.3.5-RELEASE announcement for information on obtaining the latest 2.3.x release.
