Switching from PFsense to OPNsense? Here's a basic setup
PFsense has made some changes to how licensing works for the Home-lab version which has completely killed it off. People are moving over to OPNsense as its a open source firewall. In this video I show you some of the basic configuration to get your firewall up and running

Timely video. If you setup interfaces via the console most of this is very fast; from install to updated basic working wan/lan is a few minutes.
Lol i have 2 firewall boxes running opnsense and pfsense. I am trying to let them have the same functionality and i must say pfsense is the winner up to know. Basic functionality both score equally vlan lan etc etc. If you really want to make a difference then make a good video about adblocking, HAproxy and Acme licensing. That are the things that pfsense does better and there are more tutorials about that.
Going to stick with pfsense but I entend to move to CE and see what happens in 6 months, I'll re-asses then. Thanks for the video, much appreciated.
A series of OPNsense videos would be nice. On the Lawrence Systems forum, several people mentioned the lack of tutorials for OPNsense, so many of us would like to see them. (edit) I'm hedging bets with pfsense, going to set up an OPNsense system just so I'm prepared. Another video I'd like would be installation and configuration of e2guardian on OPNsense, it's not horrible on pfsense, but I've read there is no gui for the settings on OPNsense.
Me too would love to see a full Opensense setup tutorial.
Greetings from Portugal. 🙂
more from opnsense!!
Nice video, it would be nice if you could show mDNS with IoT stuff and default LAN interactions.
All of this seems like a waste of time and overly complex. A Firewalla Gold is better with more options, better adblocking and an app.
I've lost all respect for Netgate and had little to begin with, to not be overdramatically but they've been closed-source for a long time but still say they're open-source.
I don't get why they would like to annihilate thousands of beta testers who have been active in their community for years.
Im missing a 16 Port pro Switch but I don’t think it will come
I'm so happy I went with UDM Pro then SE after PFsense started having on CE version 2.5 on my custom hardware. Your channel made the transition from PFsense to UDM super easy, thank you.
Very nice, im sưitching now
Great video, Cody! Thanks! Would love to see a video on WAN failover setup.
Would like to see a detailed OpenVPN setup and test.
no fee…both are free. boot env and AWS VPN config are really the only two major things you don't get in CE. most don't need/use any of the Plus features anyway, and are just being overly dramatic as usual any time netgate makes any changes.
Should do 2 follow-up videos, one with some firewall stuff and routing features built into OPNsense, and a second follow-up video with ZenArmor plugin that turns this into a layer 7 gateway like Unifi gateways are.
Do you guys know anyway to get sip voip working, on pfsense, or open sense when your isp do not want to give you your details, or ways to login to the sip server to use voip on pfsense, or opensense?
Is there any way to do this, as where i am, if you have voip service with your isp, you have to give that router they give you and your isp will not tell you what you have to do to login to sip voip server without your router they gave you
If you know how to do this, can you possibly do a video on this, as i am sure many people would love to know.
There must be someway for pfsense or opensense to login to these voip sip servers and you use pfsense without your isp router to login to it.
Is there any way to do this, ie in pfsense or opensense, as surely there is a work around
Whether that with knowing the vlan they use, or use mac address of your router to login to your sip voip server they use, or some other way.
Is there a way to do this in pfsense, as i cannot find a video of someone doing this?
Would also love to see a full review/tutorial. Thank you!
I would like to see Port forwarding on IP camera vlan.
Letting you know… deeper into firewall rules please.
if you can also do a video covering truncing between opnSense and a Ubq switch, please.
