Also worth adding that the ERL runs EdgeOS, which is actually a fork of Vyatta 6.3 with some added features and certain hardware accelerations. [1] Vyatta was acquired by Brocade in 2012, after which the community edition was sidelined and the main product became closed source. Thankfully Vyatta core was forked in 2013 and re-branded as VyOS (free and open source) and is under active development. [2] I've used pfSense in the past and VyOS currently and found both to be excellent.
