   I don't use pfsense so I don't know if this applies to your situation..   
      
   On linux ports <=1024 can only be opened by root. I use port 80 and 21 for my   
   BBS so I use setcap to give my application (bbbsd in this case) the   
   capability to open and use these ports, like so..   
      
   sudo /sbin/setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' bbbsd   
      
   The above command will need to be run whenever your application is updated or   
   reinstalled.   
      
   The Synchronet wiki talks about this and the authbind method to acheive this.
