Any recommendation for a cheap, small #firewall for my #homelab ? I realized I can’t control easily what goes out of my network only via DNS block lists
I’d agree the OPNsense UI is probably more intuitive if you’ve never touched PFSense but I found the OPNsense UI difficult coming from many years of PF.
Which is why I said that I’m a purist. But whatever works, they’re both worth exploring. I got dug-in on my solution a decade ago and haven’t really had a reason to change once I learned it.
Pfsense. I’m a purist.
In that case OPNsense does the exact same thing but with a more intuative GUI. It originally was a fork of pfSense.

Cus there isnt a reason to change if you are already super familiar with pfSense. They basically do the same stuff.
One has ego issues and shitty code issues.
