Why I'm here and loving every minute - Thank you

Ok so why this post. Simply to say thank you to @franco and the team here at OPNsense

@Marjohn and I, mainly @Marjohn56 to be fair, had been working on pfSense for a number of months enabling it to work correctly with Orange FTTP in France This meant modifications to dhclient and dhcp6c binaries as well as other tweaks.

Whilst we got it working over at pfSense the acceptance of the changes Marjohn56 made to the binaries was slow and at times almost hard work to get accepted. Add to that the Mods over at pfSense becoming almost confrontational. So @Marjohn56 suggested a move to OPNsense which we made a few months ago. From day 1 our interactions with and interest from @franco began. WOW what a difference. Instead of the indifference, we met with support. So much so that in a short space of time we have move from a pfSense system that required binaries to be replaced and patches after every upgrade to a system on OPNSense that is now fully supports Orange France FTTP without modification.

At no point was @franco dismissive of our ideas in fact he encourage our efforts.

So as of 18.7 I can out of the box connect to Orange France and enjoy my 500/250 connection

Loving it here. Now what can I break :-)
