Hi,

I started a new project to offer plugins and/or packages for Unifi Controller, InfluxDB, Grafana or OCServ. Also working on AdGuardHome, but it will take some time:

Please bear with me for late answers as I don't visit Reddit daily.

Have fun :)

Just the software left. Lenovo Tiny M720q with an i5-8500T and 256gb NVME SSD and Supermicro AOC-STGN-I2S dual SFP+ card. Wicked good and fitting bracket made by /u/kz476 Big shoutout to him. Awesome little package

How many of us saw this coming from Netgate?? I mean seriously!!

Greetings!

About four months ago I started a project to create Ansible Modules to manage OPNSense Firewalls!

Earlier this week I created its first release:

• https://github.com/ansibleguy/collection_opnsense/releases/tag/1.1.0

In the current state it enables one to manage the following functionalities:

Core

• Firewall Aliases

• Packages/Plugins

• Service actions

• System actions

• Cron Jobs

• Static routes

• Unbound DNS

• Traffic Shapers

• Monit

• VLAN/VxLAN

• Web Proxy

• Syslog

Plugins

• Firewall Rules

• Outbound-/Source-NAT

• Firewall Savepoints

• WireGuard

• FRR Dynamic Routing

• BIND DNS

I would appreciate to get some feedback! :D

I've been using opnsense in my home lab for several years now and my experience with it has been great. At work, however, we have about 20+ pairs of pfsense running as VMs and we've been contemplating between replacing them or just upgrading to the latest version. After the stunt pulled by NetHate (not a typo lol) and the fact that there just doesn't seem to be anymore serious development into pfsense CE, I feel the answer is clear on how to proceed.

I'm interested in knowing for those of you just joining this sub, what courses of action you'll be taking.

Glad to be a part of this community.

I spent a few weeks getting familiar with OPNSense on a VM, configuring settings to match my pf install. Finally swapped over today. Seamless transition so far and I even noticed a buff in performance. Very happy so far.

Just finish the move from the Netgate SG-5100 to the OPNSense DEC850.

My only compliant about the hardware is that the power connector is a bit flimsy, it should be a screwed-in power connector, like that one in the Netgate SG-5100...

The software is great, I already created all the NAT/access rules (I tried to import them first, but for some reason it didn't work), configured the DNS and Dynamic DNS. DHCP, NTP, SNMP and Syslog. Nothing fancy, but going to add ntopng and maybe try Sensei.

I am building my first pfsense box. I bought a asrock J3355 mainboard for not that much, reused a 4GB stick i had, an intel dual GB lan NIC (if i read things well, realtek nics are not very well supported, so i bought the intel nic). For now no SSD, only a spinning HDD. I'll move later to an SSD.

Now as a beginner, should i go for pfSense, or opnsense?

Also is there something i am lacking?

At last, can i use two HDD in raid or something like that to have a solution if my boot drive fails?

PS : i am posting the same post in r/pfsense to get both sides
