pfSense is an, open source full featured firewall and router platform based on FreeBSD 10.1.

Arrives pre-loaded with pfSense software
 IPv6 – support for IPv6 connectivity
 Captive portal – allows for a splash page to all users upon connecting to your network, optionally
with authentication. This is commonly used with wireless hot spots, or as an additional layer of
protection for wireless networks with authentication against a local user database, or external
RADIUS server such as Microsoft Active Directory.
 VPN – Three types of VPNs are supported, IPsec, OpenVPN and PPTP. You can use these options to
connect roaming users for remote access, or site to site connectivity to connect multiple locations.
 Multi-WAN – multiple Internet connections with failover and load balancing are supported. In
combination with a VLAN capable switch, you can connect numerous Internet connections over a
single physical interface on the firewall.

and use the Dynamic DNS client to keep your hostname updated. This is especially helpful if you
want to access services like VPN remotely.
