To throw gas on the fire, there is a small group working on a GUI for VyOS, he has a github set up for this and is working along as fast as time allows. It might be really interesting once it's done.

I was there 3000 years ago...

On a more serious note OPNsense isn't going anywhere. The fate of FreeBSD is that of FreeBSD itself and they made it clear. For our part we can and will manage very well.

All the people wanting the ultimate Linux based firewall but nobody really doing it...  maybe the two are mutually exclusive or we just haven't waited long enough?

One could argue that Mikrotik's RouterOS fits that bill. Oh, you (*) want it to be open source ... well :-)

(*) not you personally, Franco

That's the point indeed... build it... yes... open source it... investors don't like that.
