I always get confused between OPNsense and pfSense - one is the open source fork the other is the original.

- Havoc 3y agoPfsense is the “original” and the more commercial minded. They’re very close though. You can follow Pfsense guides on opnaense basically
- simondotau 3y agoPfsense is, in turn, a fork of m0n0wall. It's also important to note that pretty much all of the functionality of all aforementioned firewalls is part of FreeBSD or from packages installed behind the scenes. The configuration UX is the most visible differentiator but they also have different strategies when it comes to pushing updates and testing/validation. But the actual heavy lifting of these router/firewall systems is done by code that ships with FreeBSD.
