Title: Good-bye PFSense, Hello OPNSense
Post by: cardins2u on July 25, 2017, 02:35:10 am

Its time to jump ship. I've been using PFSense the last 10 years or so I think. Its time to jump to really open source.

Does anyone have the same feeling? PFSense (Netgate) is now for profit doesn't it seem like it?

Also I am seeing they are switching to AES-IH hardware.

I've been using OPNSense for about a week hardcore now. It works great so far. I just wish there's more statistics  like DPI or something.

NTOP, Unifi kind of graphic.

ANyways good to be here!

Hi,

I'm fighting with installing ntopng on a current OPN but it's quite bleeding edge version 3 and therefore many errors when compiling it.

Hi cardin,

Welcome, happy to see a new user. :)

If you can, help discuss topics or start one of your own about what you want to see with a separate topic and then we pick it up from there.


Enjoy,
Franco

OPNSense is really awesome and i would like to move my ~30 pfsense boxes to opnsense but one thing prevents me from doing this:
I rely on ClamAV as a virus-scanner for squid because my local antivirus software doesn't support icap.
If it would be possible to select clamav+icap as an package and choose which icap server to use in proxy(local or remote), then i would immediately switch to OPNSense.
But I already use OPNSense for site-to-site connections.

Great work, thanks!

you can configure an ICAP server to use in squid already. you only need to have the server. As far as I know there is currently no ICAP-Server in the ports. You can use "c-icap" for your goal but you need to build it by yourself. For clamav thre is probably the same issue.
