FreeNAS like Router Software?

Is there a bundled package that can be installed on a computer with a couple of nics in it to function like your home router? With a nice web interface? I was wanting something like FreeNAS is to NAS. I have been searching around and haven't really been able to put what I am looking for into decent search string.
 
ipcop, pfsense, monowall, smoothwall, community edition of vyatta, and clearos.
Clearos does storage, routing, firewalling, web server and a few other things as well.

I've been very happy running Ipcop, but haven't really tried any of the others. Have heard very positive things about pfsense and some of the others, but have stayed with Ipcop as it has been rock solid for me.

This thread from a few months ago is relevant and talks about peoples' experiences using a PC as a router and a lot of the posts list what software they used. Is there anything specific you are looking to achieve or any features that are must haves?
 
pfSense is your best bet, if your familiar with FreeNAS, they both had a similar web interface and both based off of FreeBSD.
 
Very cool. Thanks for all the info. I think I may play around with all of them, starting with pfSense. Thank you guys alot.
