Managed pfSense Firewalls, VPNs, and Routing
One managed pfSense appliance for firewall policy, encrypted VPN access, NAT, and routing between private networks, deployed and maintained by Togglebox engineers.
Track connection state and enforce clear rules that separate public from private traffic.
Block traffic from high-risk regions and cut the noise from country-level scanning.
Rules are documented and readable, so auditors can follow them without a translation step.
Prioritize critical services and hold bandwidth steady through traffic spikes.
One managed pfSense platform for network-edge controls. Togglebox uses one managed appliance model for firewall rules, VPN tunnels, NAT, and routing.
One Network Edge, Managed as a System
A managed pfSense appliance sits at the edge of your Togglebox environment. It controls what reaches public services, which private networks can communicate, how users or offices connect over VPN, and how traffic is translated or routed as your topology grows.
Firewall policy and segmentation
Stateful rules separate public entry points from private systems, restrict management access, and keep databases, caches, and internal tools off the public internet.
Encrypted VPN connectivity
IPsec and OpenVPN tunnels connect remote users, offices, and partner networks to the private services they need without opening those services to the world.
Routing, NAT, and gateway behavior
Centralize outbound NAT, inbound port forwards, static routes, policy-based routing, and multi-uplink failover in one reviewed configuration.
Controls We Configure Most Often
Stateful inspection and GeoIP policy
Private tiers and admin-only networks
Site-to-site and remote-user VPNs
NAT, port forwards, and routing paths
VPN and Routing Design
The same appliance can handle encrypted connectivity and routing policy, so VPN access, firewall rules, and NAT behavior are reviewed together instead of managed as separate products. These are the decisions we walk through together:
Which VPN protocol
IPsec for site-to-site interoperability, OpenVPN for flexible remote-user access, and WireGuard on request when it fits your device mix and security requirements.
Split or full tunnel
Route only private-network traffic through the VPN for efficiency, or send all traffic through the tunnel when policy, auditing, or compliance requirements call for it.
Static, policy, or dynamic
Start with clear static routes, add policy-based routing for specific paths, and use BGP or OSPF through pfSense FRR when static route tables become hard to maintain.
Setup and Ongoing Change Support
Togglebox engineers help plan the first configuration, document the access model, and stay available as users, sites, networks, and services change.
- Full pfSense access: your team can inspect and manage the appliance directly, with engineer review available when changes need a second set of eyes.
- Initial architecture review: subnets, exposed services, VPN users, site-to-site peers, NAT, routing, and sizing.
- Scheduled change windows: rule changes, tunnel updates, and route changes can be coordinated around your maintenance process.
- Troubleshooting support: we investigate tunnel failures, route mismatches, unexpected blocks, throughput limits, and policy drift.
Pricing and Ordering
Pricing starts at $25/month + server resource costs. We size the appliance around throughput, inspection depth, tunnel count, routing complexity, and expected growth.

Common Questions
How do I choose between firewall, VPN, and virtual router services?
You do not need to choose separate products. Tell us whether the immediate need is boundary control, VPN access, routing, NAT, or segmentation, and we will design one managed pfSense configuration around it.
What firewall controls can you configure?
We can configure inbound and outbound policy, NAT, port forwards, private-network rules, allowlists, blocklists, GeoIP filtering, traffic shaping, and logging based on the services you expose.
What VPN patterns are supported?
Common designs include site-to-site IPsec tunnels, remote-user VPN access, administrator-only private access, and hybrid layouts that connect office, cloud, and private network segments.
Can the same appliance handle routing and segmentation?
Yes. Managed pfSense can route between private networks, separate application tiers, control NAT, and enforce policy between segments so firewall, VPN, and routing behavior stay coordinated.
Who handles changes after deployment?
Togglebox can help with rule updates, tunnel changes, routing adjustments, troubleshooting, and periodic reviews. Your team can also inspect and manage the appliance directly when you want hands-on control.
What information helps size Managed pfSense?
Share the number of networks, users, tunnels, exposed services, expected throughput, inspection needs, and growth plans. We use that to size CPU, RAM, disk, and bandwidth for the appliance.
Can I get help reviewing my security architecture?
Yes. A security engineer can review your current topology, identify exposure points, and recommend a managed pfSense design before you order.
