pfSense Router Guide Editorial
The editorial desk that publishes pfSense Router Guide. It is a byline for the site's editorial process, not a person, and this page carries no author biography because there is no individual author to describe.
How this desk works
- Articles are researched from primary sources: vendor and project documentation, published standards and specifications, release notes, advisories, and measurements published by the people who took them.
- Drafts are produced with AI assistance and then edited against those same sources before publication.
- Nothing published here claims hands-on lab testing, benchmarking, or first-hand measurement. Where a figure comes from a datasheet or someone else's test, the article names the source.
- Corrections go to [email protected] and are made on the affected page. Funding is set out on the disclosure page.

pfSense CE vs pfSense Plus: What Actually Differs
The two pfSense editions share a lineage but not a release cadence. Netgate's own version table shows where they diverge and where they re-converge.
- Hardware Sizing
pfSense Hardware Requirements: Minimum vs Realistic
Netgate publishes a 1 GB RAM floor for pfSense. State tables, inspection engines and network buffers push a usable build well past that number.
- Troubleshooting
pfSense Slow Speeds: Find the Real Bottleneck
A diagnostic order for slow pfSense throughput, from where to measure first to the network buffer, PPPoE and inspection settings that actually cap it.

Sizing pfSense Hardware: What Actually Limits Throughput
Which parts of a pfSense build decide routing, VPN and packet inspection performance, and where buying more capacity changes nothing at all.
