Opnsense has an arguably better UI, and more frequent updates.
You can look into the drama about the pfsense devs when opnsource forked it but the tldr is the pfsense devs were openly hostile in a variety of unprofessional and uncalled for ways to opnsense.
More recently, pfsense devs rushed the wire guard integration which turned out to be so problematic that the wire guard devs had to publicly comment that it shouldn’t be included inorder to prevent it from shipping. One of the reasons why opnsense forked a few years prior was due to bad code quality of pfsense.
Also my two cents, if you’re going to create this list to benefit the community and you don’t want to include too many options, then you’ll need to make informed decisions on which projects to include and why. Relying on the community is fine, and crowed sourcing knowledge is powerful, but don’t ignore large projects without researching them
Oh thank you for the information! I’ll swap pfsense with opnsense.
Yeah I try to make informed decisions, that’s why every recommendation is something I use or I have used, listed I used to have a pfsense firewall for a few years and it worked great for my use case, but yeah, the issues you comment make opnsense a much better option.
