Hello everyone,

I hope this message finds you well. I'm currently exploring firewall solutions and am interested in finding alternatives to Zenarmor that are compatible with OpnSense. I've been using Zenarmor and appreciate its features, but I'm curious to see if there are other similar tools available that work well with these platforms.

Does anyone have recommendations for other security software or add-ons that offer comparable functionality? Any experiences or insights into how well these alternatives integrate and perform would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help and suggestions!

Best regards,

I'm not aware of any solution. You can only run a mix of Squid with UT Blacklist to filter web categories, run Suricata in IPS mode, use DNS Filter (Unbound or AdGuard) and Blacklistslike FireHol to filter traffic. But this will in theory only fit the free version of Zenarmor with the lack of some ThreatIntel stuff.
