Title: THANK YOU
Post by: mueller on January 29, 2021, 04:11:42 PM
Hello,

I don't know if it's customary, but I'd just like to say a quick THANK YOU to everyone involved in OPNsense.

The upgrade went through cleanly for me and OPNsense is faithfully performing its services here - I think the project is great.

I've only started using OPNsense in the last month, and so far I've been very impressed.  The upgrade when smoothly.  Thank you for all your hard work on this project.

Yes indeed a big thank you!
I am using opnsense since mid December and learning every day and adding to the config of opnsense.
It is really great to being able to have this level of control, insight and protection, and this incredible good community / forum.
The upgrade processed fast and smoothly, so a big thank you to everybody involved.

I'd like to say thank you as well... My first month of this full time OPNsense job done after 6 years of volunteering. Was nice to be able to put as much time and effort into a major release as possible.

So thanks to everyone deploying OPNsense and in turn making it the widely known and popular open source firewall it is today! :)


Cheers,
Franco

Don't want to crash the party, but as @franco has raised the glass for a toast on new times with OPNsense:

What is state-of-the-union for a 32/64bit ARM release? Is there somefink in the making? :-)

Funny, I was thinking about posting something along those lines. Dear OPNsense team, your effort, knowledge and attitude is greatly appreciated.

I've been a m0n0wall user for ages, came to OPNsense when Manuel ended the project. As a software developer, I always considered "firewall" to be important - but nothing I would tinker with beyond playing with the user interface to get the job done. Stable operations and seamless upgrades are key IMO, and OPNsense delivers. Great job!

Was a concern of mine  :)

In Germany at least, people usually only point out the negative.
A hundred things can be good and only one bad - only the bad is addressed.
This is called deficit-oriented.
Of course, pointing out and improving mistakes is important - a development "in depth" and "not only in breadth".

But the developers of OPNsense are well aware of that. And they really do their work very well ...

What stands out to me is stability. Given the consistency of design and behavior, clear documentation of changes, and reliability of the update process over time, it seems clear that your development practices are very disciplined.

I ensure that I have configuration backups and a copy of the previous image before each upgrade, but I've never needed them. The same cannot be said for a lot of commercial software.

I wanna join the "thank you Opnsense team" party as well.
I have been using Opnsense for over a year now and it has never let me down.
