Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What's the difference between BSDRP and m0n0wall or pfSense ?

  1. The main goal of BSDRP is not firewalling but routing. If you are looking for a firewall, or for sharing your Internet access, don't use BSDRP but use m0n0wall or pfSense instead.
  2. BSDRP doesn't have a Web GUI: It's to be configured from a CLI only (like Cisco/Juniper).
  3. BSDRP is not intended for home use, but for company use (small ISP for example).

Can I install BSDRP on a MIPS or ARM device (RouterStation, D-Link, etc..) ?

BSDRP target x86 architectures (FreeBSD x86 boot loader is mandatory for supporting the 2 systems partitions).

Try ZRouter.org that is a FreeBSD based firmware for embedded devices.

Can you add squid/apache/BitTorrent server/subversion/MySQL/etc. to BSDRP ?

All features not related to routing will not be added into the base of BSDRP (but installing or removing FreeBSD packages is still possible).

Where is the forum ?
