pfSense Firewall Integration
About the pfSense Firewall Integration

The IPQS pfSense Integration allows you to block connections to and from your network through our advanced Proxy, VPN & TOR Detection at the network level. This integration offers advantages over our usual Proxy, VPN & TOR Detection integrations. You can block a threat before it reaches your network's webpage, login portal, or checkout page. Below, you will find information on installing, setting up, and configuring this integration to meet the desires that your network has to help you Proactively Prevent Fraud™.
