General Discussion / Re: opnsense vs pfsense

It's a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy, but the reason why OPNsense was forked was exactly to anticipate this change of behaviour in pfSense.

Nobody bothered to answer this, but forking OPNsense was met with unrelenting resistance later on.

Fortunately, those early years are behind us now.

BTW - thx for all of this & continuing to steer the community (which this at least is compared to whatever PFSense is nowadays).  I started doing some research test a few months ago and now have started the complete production transition in my homelab and relative sites to OPNSense at those edges.  I have yet to come across any question that wasn't either natively intuitive to solve, or had ample support from the wiki/community.  Overall the front-end is just more intuitive than PFSense's for me.
