Welcome to my channel! So you likely found this video because you run pfSense in your home lab or rely on it to secure your business network. You have probably heard all the chatter on Reddit and YouTube about the recent changes announced by Netgate to the pfSense Plus Home+Lab subscription and how it is no longer a free option. You have likely seen in these same discussions people recommending alternatives like OPNsense, but you can't decide if you should downgrade to pfSense CE or try something new like OPNsense. Perhaps none of what I just mentioned affects you and you are simply looking for a pfSense alternative, or maybe you are completely new to the world of open-source firewalls and you are trying to decide what is best for you. Regardless of the reasons that you found yourself here, I am hoping to make your decision-making process a lot easier and in this video, we are going to briefly compare OPNsense to pfSense and talk about some advantages of using OPNsense as an alternative. We are also going to talk about how we can enhance OPNsense by easily installing the Zenarmor Next Generation Firewall plugin, which unlocks advanced security features like deep packet inspection, application, and web controls. With OPNsense and Zenarmor, you can start exploring and benefiting from next-generation firewall features for free in the comfort of your own home-lab environment. P.S.
