OPNsense users, I need your honest opinion

NethSecurity
1

I’ll be direct.

We’re trying to understand whether NethSecurity can realistically be considered an alternative to OPNsense — not in theory, but in real-world usage.

If you’ve used both (even briefly), I’d really like your unfiltered feedback.

  • What would make you choose NethSecurity over OPNsense?
    (if anything at all)

  • If you tried switching, what worked better — and what didn’t?

  • What is missing today in NethSecurity that would prevent you from adopting it?

Real answers based on your experience.

This is not just curiosity: your feedback will directly influence future product decisions and roadmap priorities. If something is missing compared to opnsense, this is exactly the kind of input that can drive change.

Thanks to anyone willing to share their perspective.

p.s. I’m talking about Nsec8 obviously

Hi Fattorini

found most special on opnsense for me
caddy rev proxy

with the option to create certificates in the lan and layer4 proxy
with a simple gui

If nethsecurity can do that, I will change

If OPNSense would run on a Linux kernel and stack, I will change (to OPNSense…).
