The subject says it all --- I've got some pfSense boxes that are working fine, but I want to know what I'm in for if I make the jump to OpnSense. Things that tempt me are:
- pfSense seems to really want to be a hardware solution these days. If I wanted that, I'd be buying more Mikrotik WISP equipment
- pfSense seems slow to gain access to newer hardware and support support -- newer LTE modems that appear as ethernet devices and don't support PPP for example
- pfSense truly doesn't like Comcast V6 Business service unless your modem support V6 PD
If I make the jump, what are some things I should watch out for?
- Can I just load my own pfsense configs?
- Does ZeroTier run in bridged-modem
- What standard pfSense modules don't work\
Looking for the advicve -- thanks all.

Hi there,

That sounds reasonable. :)

As this is probably FreeBSD related as well I don't know if this will be different for us.

Not knowing the issue it could be the same problem for us.
> Can I just load my own pfsense configs?
Section by section import *may* work, while "system" settings definitely doesn't and "firewall" is complicated with all the changes between both projects. Other sections should work ok given that you double-check afterwards.
> Does ZeroTier run in bridged-modem
I don't know.
> What standard pfSense modules don't work
All the packages. We replaced them.
Cheers,
