Based on the latest FreeBSD 11.1 operating system, the pfSense 2.4 release comes with an all-new installer based on bsdinstall and featuring support for the ZFS file system, UEFI machines, as well as multiple types of partition layouts, including the widely used GPT and BIOS. Being a massive update, pfSense 2.4 also adds support for Netgate ARM devices like SG-1000, translations for 13 new languages, and support for the OpenVPN 2.4 series, which feature TLS encryption, AES-GCM ciphers, Negotiable Crypto Parameters (NCP), and dual stack/multihome.
