I really like neorouter, it as been working flawlessly on my openwrt router for more then 2 years, and it's p2p, so traffic is client-client by default, or depending or your settings.
I used Openvpn, hamachi, tinc, ipsec but nothing come close to neorouter in terms of ease of use and flexibility, it even work on my android phone ! :P

A lot of users requested neorouter to be ported to pfsense but i never happened, so i decided to give it a try with the freebsd files..

This was done on PfSense 2.3.2

For this tutorial you need putty and winscp on a windows machine.

Download neorouter server free (or pro) (i used neorouter free x64) for freebsd

Unpack the neorouter archive on your computer

Log into your pfsense installation as root with winscp and copy each archive files in respective folder in usr/local/

(archive)/bin/nrserver ----> /usr/local/bin/nrserver
(archive)/bin/nrssetup ----> /usr/local/bin/nrsetup
(archive)/bin/rmnrserver.sh ----> /usr/local/bin/rmnrserver.sh

(archive)/etc/rc.d/nrserver.sh ----> /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nrserver.sh


and copy complete folder

(archive)/ZebraNetworkSystems -----> /usr/local/ZebraNetworkSystems


Log into your pfsense installation as root with putty and go to shell.

Now we will generate the certificates for neorouter, copy and pase in shell:

Code:
openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -days 3650 -nodes -x509 -keyout /usr/local/ZebraNetworkSystems/NeoRouter/server.key -out /usr/local/ZebraNetworkSystems/NeoRouter/server.crt -config /usr/local/ZebraNetworkSystems/NeoRouter/openssl.cnf


We also need this package to make things work.. copy and paste

Code:
pkg install lang/gcc


Now we need to change permission to nrserver.sh so it can work

Code:
chmod u+rwx /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nrserver.sh


Now start the server

Code:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/nrserver.sh onestart


Now to make it start automaticly on reboot type this in shell

Code:
echo 'nrserver_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf


And set a admin user (replace username and password with yours)
For more info consult neorouter user guide. http://download.neorouter.com/Documents/nr_usermanual_22en.pdf

Code:
nrserver -adduser username password admin


Open port on your pfsense (default is 32976)

Download the respective client (in my case windows client)
You can now administer your server with the client under file tab, options.

If something is not clear let me know i will modify this post.

Works here.
Enjoy ;D

Great stuff. We need developers to have a look at this. Maybe update the site?

We already purchased Pro version and it works well. Now we want to use NeoRouter VPN as a solution for safe file transfer accross servers. We have servers with 1 Gbps bandwidth and expect to have this speed for NeoRouter VPN. Out tests (file transfer beatween two servers in the same data center) have shown that speed is limited to 100 Mbps. Please consider that CPU load for NeoRouter service was under 0.5 % and general CPU load on the server is approximately 15%. So, this is not a encryption speed problem.
