General Discussion / Migrate or convert from pfSense to OPNsense
« on: April 14, 2020, 03:28:16 am »
Hi,
Sorry if this has been asked and answered.
I'm a long time pfSense user but I'm quite keen looking at how far OPNsense has come to look at migrating across a number of large customers with signifiant networks. I really am impressed with OPNsense roadmap, speed of development and release cycle.
Is there any migration tools for pfSense to OPNsense?
Really, all I really need is a method to import / migrate;
I can easily export firewall rules and address objects from pfSense. If I could easily import address objects and firewall rules that could be built against interfaces that had the same name in OPNSense, that would massively reduce the migration effort.
I'm quite happy to manually rebuild packages like FRR and HAPROXY and manually create all the right VLANs and interfaces inside OPNsense, it's just the large number loss of the many firewall rules and address objects.
If that bit of heavy lifting can be done, then migration from pfSense to OPNsense becomes a very real possibility and not the mammoth project if would be without this bit of importing rules and address objects.
