When switching from pfsense to opnsense, I had to move everything to opnsense manually (and I do mean manually, not just updating terraform). It only took about 20 minutes to put things back on both members and have my tunnels up and going again, even counting my very specific customizations.
It was anti-climactic and worked so well as to be boring, which is the absolute highest compliment that a replacement and cutover can have.
- alias_neo 3y agoThanks for the info; I tried OPNSense originally but I had an issue with PPP on my old internet provider I never could get working so I switched to pfSense reluctantly and it just worked. I doubt I have anywhere near the networking knowledge you have, so some of the more complex things I have set up; like my BGP routes for my Kubernetes clusters and my VLANs/trunks etc, that have taken a lot of tinkering might take me quite some time. I expect the way they're configured will be different, terminology might be different, and of course the UI will be different, so I can't just do it by reference. I have no problem taking my time, so long as we have the basic networking we need for family and working from home.
- deadfece 3y agoWith regard to bgp, vlans, subinterfaces etc. Those things work the same way in opnsense. Most of my conversion was just data entry of the particulars. I try to keep my main fws as simple as I can, for the benefit of the household, but I do get carried away with home automation and IaC/CM to my firewalls.
