A hardy "Welcome!" to OPNsense!

pfSense is a nearly decade old fork of m0n0wall. pfSense forked because m0n0wall and pfSense had different goals.
http://doc.m0n0.ch/handbook/faq-goals.htmlpfSense wanted to take advantage of larger hardware:
https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Why_did_pfSense_fork_from_m0n0wallIt's pretty obvious that OPNsense forked because they're pissed about the license agreement. I don't know that being pissed will be enough to sustain the level of effort required to keep a fork 'great'. In the end, it doesn't matter. If they make things better, we're sure to take a look at what they're doing.
Funny thing is, the only thing the license agreement prevents is that a fork is called "pfSense". Similar to Fight Club's, "if this is your first night at Fight Club, you HAVE to fight", this is open source, forking is allowed.
Hmm, anyone for "Fork Club"?

The first rule of Fork Club is that you do not talk about Fork Club.

Sounds political - I just hope that the efforts don't become divided and turn 1 great project into several mediocre projects.
Thats all. -
thanks +1 from me.
Had a good laugh (non-denigrating, but funny nevertheless. ).
My neighbors never ceases to amaze me… ;DThat orange is pretty surprising though, not sure where that inspiration comes from :o
I'm getting old, I no longer immediately recognize cynical messages ;D
Orange probably comes from "Het huis van Oranje" ('the house of orange', brrrr, stupid translation), which is how the royal family over here is referred to (after Willem van Oranje, who is supposed to have founded this monarchy in The Netherlands). Hence the soccer players with orange shirts. So, orange = Netherlands.

You know the Dutch government keeps on insisting that the educational systems in The Netherlands are among the best in the universe :P
"Nederland kennisland" (to do a Van Gaal translation: Netherlands knowledge land).
Well they were good some 20 years ago, but since then they too were swallowed by the famous (global) college bubble.

New York comes from New Amsterdam (stupid deal The Dutch made with the British who obviously were way smarter; The Dutch swapped Manhattan for a bunch of banana trees in the Caribbean. The Empire came, saw, said 'cool, you take the bananas, gives us New Amsterdam, all we have to do is swap the name: from Amsterdam to York' ;D ).
Harlem = Haarlem, a place in The Netherlands.

Of course, that's all the work of our Forefathers.
Who roll in their graves seeing what this once great country they built has been r*ped into.
Did you know the world famous red light district in Amsterdam has been shutdown? Coffee shops have been brought under a fascistic regime?
And next the socialistic idiots are surprised to see these hundreds of Boeings full of tourists don't touch down anymore in Amsterdam.
They had sincerely predicted all these tourists would keep on coming; if not for the joints, hookers and 'live and let live' atmosphere in Amsterdam, then at any time to visit the 'Rijksmuseum', where you can look at boring paintings of undertalented painters. Paying premium entrance prices on your way in, and getting robbed by the illegal street scum on your way out. Whom police officers are not allowed to give the proper treatment, and whom 'judges' let walk freely.
Sorry, I'm drifting off ;D
-
Yeah - Hookers, drugs and alcohol have probably never hurt tourism anywhere.
Me - I'm staying in the Philippines for now. There is none of that here.
Anyway - Hope all this forking doesn't hurt pfsense.

Indeed, we are.
We're #1!

Congrats.

This's nice but can't we add packages from Menu like in PfSense? :'(

Thats all.How would what they do impact what we do?
-
It wouldn't UNLESS those are people who left the project. I'm not in the know about who all the "main" people are for pfsense.

Nobody left the project.

Cool - Well, maybe they will do something good and you guys can accidentally have all the same ideas… Simultaneously (-:

No need for accidents. If they have good ideas, we'll look at adopting them.
