pfSense vs OPNsense, and the response to Tom Lawrence's "Why I don't use OPNsense" video.
Firewall comparison of pfSense CE and OPNsense, two of the most popular open-source firewall solutions! The debate of pfSense vs OPNsense is long standing and will continue on-going.
From concerns of Netgate pushing their commercial product pfSense+, to licensing and trademarks, where and how you can use these devices, including commercially. Looking at all aspects from history, user experience, performance, hardware requirements and much more!
Whether you're a network administrator, IT professional, or a tech enthusiast, this video is for you.
In the second part of this video, I'll take a look at the recent video from Tom Lawrence / Lawrence Systems: "Why I'm NOT Using OPNsense"; and why this doesn't necessarily mean you shouldn't; including security and updates, Wireguard performance, OpenVPN DCO, FreeBSD 13 vs FreeBSD 14 and Netgate using non-released versions of FreeBSD for pfSense.
