Pulsed's installer is hopelessly linux-centric, and makes icky (and mostly invalid) assumptions about the layout of the system. The sources do compile and run on FreeBSD 6.x, though. Just ignore all their 'convenience' scripts.
Prerequisites (all available through ports or packages)
- Bison
- GNU Make
- Python
- Fetch the sources and build them. The ./configure line is identical to that from linuxConfig.sh, except without the custom CFLAGS.
tar zxvf pulse-gateway-1.0-src.tgz cd pulse-gateway ./configure --disable-lzo --without-tun --disable-ssl --prefix=/usr gmake
- The most important files to worry about are:
pulse-gateway/resources/createPulseConf.py pulse-gateway/resources/pulse.header pulse-gateway/pulsed
- Install and configure packetfilter to NAT from 10.0.0.0/8 to your uplink.
- Enable gateway in rc.conf
- Install pulsed into /usr/sbin and secure to root:wheel (750) because it will not work under a mortal UID (no perms to modify routing table).
- Patch createPulseConf.py to fix a stale route issue:

(It would also be a good thing at this point to change the ms-dns IP addresses to DNS servers that aren't part of the public Pulse network)
- Install patched createPulseConf.py into /etc/pulsed (700)
- Install pulse.header into /etc/pulsed (600)
- Install patched options.pulse into /etc/ppp (600)
- Create /etc/pulsed/pulse-users.csv (600) and populate with users, one per line:
user,pass
Caveat: Due to how the username is used, it can only consist of letters and numbers. No periods, underscores, dashes, or other punctuation or special characters.
- cd /etc/pulsed && ./createPulseConf.py - This will rebuild /etc/pulsed/pulsed.conf and /etc/ppp/chap-secrets .. Do this every time you modify pulse.header or pulse-users.csv
- Create a simple startup script

I think that's everything...
