Just following this up,

I have now successfully migrated over to OPNSense.
In the end I went down the route of using the Zenarmor plugin in order to achieve app & web filtering similar to what I previously had with my Untangle set up

Thank you for your reply.
It’s good to know that I will likely be able to achieve what I am looking for with OPNSense & some plugins.

I’m more than happy to pay for a Zenarmour Home License if needs be.

I wasn’t aware of e2guardian, thank you for mentioning that, it gives me something else to go away & look in to as well.


Are time based schedules a possibility do you know?

Hi everyone,

I've been a long time home user of Untangle NGFW but as they have recently decided to drop the option for Home User licenses I have until August to find a suitable replacement & I'm hoping that OPNSense will be the right move for me.

Currently with Untangle I have a blanket policy in place that blocks access for all devices to various unwanted categories such as known malware, phishing, adult sites etc.
I then have a couple of separate time schedule based rules in place that then additionally block access to sites like YouTube and Xbox Live between certain hours.

I also have a few static IPs on my LAN that I have set to bypass any web filtering altogether.


Is it possible for me to do the same thing with using OPNSense? My own research is leading me to believe that it is possible using the ZenArmor plugin. I know I will need to purchase a license for this, will the Home License allow me to do what I need?
