Why I use OPNsense over pfSense, and why I don't trust Netgate at all • Adam Conway
「 From domain disputes, licensing changes, security issues, and more, there's a lot that simply doesn't sit right with me. That's not to say that OPNsense is perfect, but the company's negatively perceived actions have not been anywhere near as controversial 」

So excited about getting my new home firewall/router:
TLSense N100L4: 4x 2.5Gbit LAN, N100 CPU, 256GB NVMe SSD, 16GB RAM.
It will be running OPNSense and I'm really looking forward replacing all these horrible ASUS Routers that I've insisted on running.

@merlin consider #pfSense, #OPNsense, #ipFire or if you go > 10GBit/s, #tnsr instead.

Upgraded #opnsense to 25.1.9_2. #maintenanceWindow
Do I have anyone within my reach who would be willing to help me debug a DNAT issue on OPNsense?
I can sincerely say that it's *probably* trivial, and I am *probably* just missing something obvious; but it's not obvious when you're not quite sure what you're looking for. Reading the documentation, browsing the forum and searching the web has not led me to find a solution.
Boosts appreciated.

@mkj reasonable commercial support, plenty of community support and great videos make it easy to learn, support and install for others. A few tools exist to assist in #pfSense to #OPNsense move.
I specially like the frequent, transparent updates and 100% open source development for maximum transparency.
Has anyone here switched from pfSense to OPNsense as a perimeter firewall? What were your experiences? Anything to watch out for?

Not sure if you guys noticed but I haven't posted an article to The Bryant Blog since last Saturday. That's because I've been working on this beast.
