Agreed - I will not change from pfSense to OPNsense. Just because you sprinkle Bootstrap on top of pfSense and even remove some functionality does not make it better. My primary concern with OPNsense is however the community behind it, and their tendency to engage in deceptive behavior. Oh, and note the passive aggressiveness here: https://docs.opnsense.org/fork/thefork.html#so-why-did-we-fork https://docs.opnsense.org/fork/thefork.html#so-why-did-we-fo...

Two forks fighting :)

It somehow reminds me OpenBSD. People complained about their developers being rude, but hey, they cleaned a lot of junk and are more secure now that FreeBSD.

  OpenBSD is not a FreeBSD fork.

    I know that it is not. Their common ancestor was BSD 4.3 Reno. And for pfSense and OPNsense common ancestor was m0n0wall.

        At some point, everyone forked everyone, but all the code was written by communities under open licenses, so the distinction is entirely political.

Your link got me digging - apparently pfSense has some security issues: The web server runs as root, and so do all the pages (PHP, etc). https://forum.netgate.com/topic/50323/how-does-pfsense-s-web-interface-run-root-scripts https://forum.netgate.com/topic/50323/how-does-pfsense-s-web...
