For pre-configured systems, see the pfSense firewall appliances from Netgate. Refer to the documentation for Upgrade Guides and Installation Guides. The DVD Image (ISO) Installer is used to create a DVD version used to install on virtual machines or systems with a DVD drive. Download Latest Stable Version (Community Edition) This is the most recent stable release, and the recommended version for all installations. The entire hard drive will be overwritten, dual booting with another OS is not supported. This is the preferred means of running pfSense software. The USB memstick image is meant to be written to a USB flash drive before use and includes an installer that installs pfSense software to the hard drive on your system. If you purchased a Netgate product, refer to the product manual for your appliance to see which reinstall image you need. The Netgate ADI image only supports a serial installation from memstick and does not come with VGA option. The amd64 architecture (which works even on Intel 64-bit CPUs) can address more memory and may have other performance advantages, but requires a compatible CPU.
