Hi all,

We currently run pfSense with no problems, however we are looking at TMG as it is included in our partner subscription to MS and allows Windows 7 DirectConnect features to our domain for off-site users.

I have had a google, but there don't seem to be any comparisons of TMG to pfSense.

Anyone have experience/knowledge of this?

Our infrastructure is Windows Server 2008 R2 behind pfSense at the moment.
