20.10.2021 · I am not sticking up for Opensense as I have never run it. I ran pfsense a few years ago and it did not play well with others. I always run a Cisco L3 switch and it did work with pfsense. I think pfsense is designed to really be the only L3 device in the network. And it is better than any consumer router you can buy.
pfSense releases have been lagging a lot in the last few years, with a very long delay for 2.5, and it was buggy on release, combined with the Wireguard fiasco and closing of the source. OPNsense has a lot more functionality in packages instead of 'core' OS, which seems to make sense to me.

The stated reasons which led to the fork are mainly technical, but also due to security and code quality. In Last (but not least), the fork was …
I've been in the pfSense game for about 8 years now, and now I've recently begun to give OPNsense some serious thought with the rise of pfSense Plus and the rocky release of pfSense 2.5.0. I have a hard requirement that my VM-based firewalls be open source, and I'm concerned that pfSense CE will become a second class citizen, so for those I will likely switch to …
"The most valuable features in OPNsense are reporting and visibility." "I have found the solution has some great features overall, such as guest access ...
09.05.2021 · OPNsense vs. pfSense in 2021 – a wild ride. Date: May 9, 2021. Categories: OPNsense, pfSense. This is like an Apple vs. Microsoft / BMW vs. Mercedes / Coke vs. Pepsi thing. First off let me clarify I am by default in the pfSense camp. We used their hardware and software at my old job, we are using some in my current job and when I moonlight ...
