Thanks a lot for that, I was curious why I haven't heard of OPNsense before.

  Have you heard of the other stuff? Most people probably know OpenWRT or DD-WRT by name (from the home wifi-router combo devices). Or did you roll into the 'real' stuff so early on that you never actually had to look for pre-existing implementations to base a project on.

    What other stuff? I heard about pfSense, OpenBSD's PF, iptables. I'm actually sysadmin, just choosing beefy integrated router/firewall/whatever_fancy for my home x86/2core w. AES-NI/4GB RAM, box to replace Sophos UTM, I suspect it is phoning home too much :)

      Ah, then I misunderstood you ;-) I've seen users replace Sophos UTM with other solutions quite often now, it seems to have too much 'invisible' parts and suspicious system connections to the world (as far as I've heard -- not used it myself). I'd say try OpnSense (and perhaps pfSense). They are the 'best' replacements for Sophos UTM free as far as I know.
