The feature¶

I would like the ability to prevent selected services from being enabled during bootup.

Why¶

I can only have 5 connections to my VPN provider at any one time but I want to setup 10 OpenVPN clients to use on my network and only start the ones I want to use at that time. ie 2 blocks of five ('All in the UK'/'All over the world') which have different purposes. However when I reboot pfSense they all restart.

There might be other scenarios where this is useful.

Proposed Solution¶

On the page (Status --> Services) add a checkbox next to each service and the title of the column will be 'Disabled on startup'
