      I am just wondering about the roadmaps for TNSR versus pfsense?

      Will TNSR eventually have the functionality of and therefor replace pfsense as an edge firewall and VPN appliance for home office or small business?

        They are geared for two very (very) different markets and there isn't likely to be huge overlap between their intended customer bases.

        I'm vastly oversimplifying it but the tl;dr version is that TNSR is focused on high performance routing and VPN transit, for example, where the architecture of pfSense can't keep up. While pfSense has more flexibility with packages and firewall-type features which don't necessarily require >10GBit/s performance.
