pfsync is: a computer protocol 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.
