17.7 Legacy Series / Newb Q: What to take into account when moving from pfSense
« on: January 28, 2018, 02:19:58 pm »
Hello all, future OPNsense user here coming from /r/homelab and the things that went down there.
I would like to move to OPNsense from Pfsense. Although my setup is not very complicated in comparison to many others, I have put in quite a lot of time to get it working 'just right'. As such I am taking a cautious approach.
What should I expect when trying to move from pfSense?
Currently using the following not-too-complicated setup:
It would be easiest if I could just reinstall and restore a config backup, but from what I have read here it seems to me that this might not work.
Would someone be kind enough to guide this newcomer?
EDIT: Added the use of aliases

Currently using the following not-too-complicated setup:
- PFsense 2.4.2-RELEASE-p1
- Running on an oldish SuperServer 5015A-EHF-D525
- 3 Wan connections, load balanced with weights (one wan is 50x faster than the other two)
- A few firewall aliases
- Nat rules with aliases
- Outbound rules to force certain devices to use a specific wan, again using aliases
It would be easiest if I could just reinstall and restore a config backup, but from what I have read here it seems to me that this might not work.
Would someone be kind enough to guide this newcomer?
