17.7 Legacy Series / [SOLVED] Screen

« on: August 19, 2017, 08:55:09 am »

Does OpnSense have screen? I mean the command line utility to detach / (re)attach your screen? Seems to be included in FreeBSD so I suppose it is there but asking just in case. I cannot live without it

17.7 Legacy Series / Production use

« on: August 16, 2017, 10:37:48 am »

I would appreciate your opinions on using Opnsense in production business environment.

I have 2 dual Xeon CentOS 7 virtual hosts and I am considering using KVM virtualized Opnsense with VLAN tagging to switches via 10G ethernet.

In your opinion what are the main differences / benefits / warnings between hardware and virtualized Opnsense? And if anyone has experience on commercial firewalls then how would you compare reliability and overall usage between Opnsense and them? There is a major difference in price tags so I am not going to commercial side with light grounds nor I am willing to risk my environment. But I have done well the past 15 years with Linux routing, iptables and openvpn so I am leaning towards open source route.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Just joined the forum as I am seriously considering OpnSense as my next routing firewall solution. I've used Linux with iptables (fwbuilder GUI), routes and openvpn with LDAP backend since pre 2000 and it has worked like a rock.

I would like to install my next firewall as a virtual guest keeping another instance as hot standby in another host. Is that possible to do? Do you think it is a smart thing to do that way? I've seen large organizations do that with their Sophos etc.

What technologies in OpnSense would you consider the most solid and best suitable for production use?
