This may be a good time to try a new relative open source product. OPNSense is a fork of PFSense with some philosophical and practical differences. Here are some notes on what and why https://docs.opnsense.org/fork/thefork.html

I'd recommend people take a look at VyOS[1] as well. It's a great router distribution, which comes with a lot of batteries included to do many, many things.

I guess I might still use pfSense when I need a _firewall_. I'd immediately grab VyOS whenever I need a router. Both can do routing and firewalling, though.

Oh yes, OPNsense. Those sure are some philosophical and practical differences. Differences as in:

- code theft - copyright abuse - attempt to steal pfSense trademark in Europe - toxic project members who publicly attack anyone who dares to point out issues (including assault on all major pfSense developers). - hiding serious vulnerabilities - downplaying serious vulnerabilities

Oh yes, that's a very different project. I documented most of it here https://www.reddit.com/r/OPNscam/

I think it would be healthy for you to 1) read about what copyright actually is and 2) read about what various licenses permit. There seems to be a disconnect between what is actually occurring and your understanding (and subsequent nerd-rage).

I have read your comments, visited your linked website. I think you may have some points.. To be clear I am testing OPNSense now for the first time. I thought their license is Apache. I will consider your points during my testing. I will also continue reading your posts on reddit and compare it to testing and repository data. Thank you for your comment, though somewhat harsh.

Are you saying that OPNsense doesn't care about AES side-channel attacks?

Would you please elaborate.
