As I don’t think OPNsense utilises things like Secureboot, I’m not bothered. I had a bug where I couldn’t install in UEFI mode so just changed it to BIOS. When doing Speedtests it was taking a little longer for OPNsense to reach peak speeds compared to PFSense. In tests, I can see there’s something slightly odd about packet scheduling (or something). Also worth noting that there is a mDNS reflector package but it isn’t called avahi. (It will be easy to tell under firewall in PFSense cos you’ll see things like OPT1 / OPT2 in the URL bar).īiggest thing missing for me is the arpwatch package.
Just make sure you create your VLANs in the same order you did in PfSense. If you have multiple VLANs, just recreated the virtual interfaces and then imported all the rules. I’d recommend doing one thing has a time (when you select what area to restore back), check it, take a OpNsense backup and try again. Alternate hardware architectures such as Raspberry Pi, other Non-Netgate ARM devices, PowerPC, MIPS, SPARC, etc. This book is the ideal companion for understanding, installing and setting up an OPNsense firewall.īuy online from Bod Buchshop or Amazon Īlso bundled with the OPNsense® Business Edition license as E-book.So I migrated a little while back and managed to use the PfSense config to do most of it. Current versions of pfSense software are compatible with 64-bit (amd64, x86-64) architecture hardware and Netgate ARM-based firewalls. OPNsense accepts the challenge and meets these criteria in different ways. As far as I know opnsense does support arm.
What Im looking for is a tiny, low power device that I can load both OPNsense and PiHole onto via virtualization. A firewall offers the highest level of protection if its functions are known, its operation is simple, and it is ideally positioned in the surrounding infrastructure. But they host OPNsense and PiHole, and that becomes a problem for other network devices. They protect against known and new threats to computers and networks. Firewalls are a component of the security concept. Even home networks, washing machines, and smartwatches are threatened and require a secure environment. No network is too insignificant to be spared by an attacker. And OPNsense is a top player when it comes to intrusion detection, application control, web filtering, and anti-virus. Even the open-source domain is moving towards Next-Generation Firewalls.
