A stateful firewall is a firewall that keeps track of the state of network connections (such as TCP streams, UDP communication) traveling across it.

✳️ Aliases & GeoLite Country Database
Managing firewall rules have never been this easy. By using Aliases you can group mulitple IP's or Host into one list, to be used in firewall rules. Additionally IP or Hostnames can be fetched from external URLs, examples are DROP (Do Not Route Or Peer), Abuse.ch's Ransomware tracker and the built-in Maxmind GeoLite2 Country database.

✳️ Traffic Shaper
Traffic shaping within OPNsense is very flexible and is organised around pipes, queues and corresponding rules. The pipes define the allowed bandwidth, the queues can be used to set a weight within the pipe and finally the rules are used to apply the shaping to a certain package flow. The shaping rules are handled independently from the firewall rules and other settings.
