pfsync is a computer protocol[1][2] used to synchronise firewall states between machines running Packet Filter (PF) for high availability.

It is used along with CARP to make sure a backup firewall has the same information as the main firewall.

When the main machine in the firewall cluster dies, the backup machine is able to accept current connections without loss.
