      TrueNAS supports 2FA natively, so it doesn't seem that hard to implement assuming it meets "requirements."

      Not sure why there is so much resistance by Netgate and/or its "representatives." The only problem is most MFA methods assume you have cell service and/or physical access.

        You can set up static IP access also. Mine only specific IP/MAC addresses can access the firewall GUI

        Make sure to upvote

          @ivor one that does not allow you to skip the MFA part and still allows you to login with admin account without MFA

            All,

            FYI, OPNsense currently offers support for multiple forms of MFA authentication throughout the entire system (with one notable exception being console/ssh access).

            Supported services are:
            -OPNsense Graphical User Interface
            -Captive Portal
            -Virtual Private Networking - OpenVPN & IPsec
            -Caching Proxy

            Since the PFSense devs seem to think that because you login to your laptop with a username/password and the PFSense GUI interface also requires a username/password, that counts as MFA (no that does not).
            Guess it's time to switch?

            Can't believe that this is even a discussion.

              It isn't, this thread is over a year old.
