I have the "Firewall Activity" plugin on my pfSense dashboard.  I can log
into the pfSense box via HTTPS and watch it get railed by script kiddies who
are immediately blocked via pfSense's default "no univited incoming traffic"
firewall rule, or in the case of my port forwarded SSH and FTP ports, get
cockblocked by fail2ban.  (Still working on a good telnet rule for f2b.)

I used to worry about it...now I laugh at it. <G>

I might pick up another Dell PowerEdge R710 so I can have pfSense running on
one and the BBS on another.
