A hardy "Welcome!" to OPNsense!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA :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.
-
Ok - You got me… Its everywhere. haha. :P

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Are you from the Philippines, or an expat living there?

I thought the USA was best in the world at thinking it was best in the world…
Indeed, we are.
We're #1!
-
ok i'm installing this in a virtual server. GG WP well done.
Congrats.
-
This's nice but can't we add packages from Menu like in PfSense? :'(
-
Sounds political - I just hope that the efforts don't become divided and turn 1 great project into several mediocre projects.
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.
-
Do we know what pfSense version the fork was from?
As I read that I was thinking 'pretty sure applianceshop might object to the name…... oh wait'. ;)
Generally speaking choice is a good thing. I look forward to seeing how this pans out. :)

a pfSense 2.2 beta from October.
https://github.com/opnsense/core/blob/14.12/etc/versionThe OPNsense team immediately moved back to 10.0 (not 10-STABLE):
https://github.com/opnsense/tools/commit/f4f556a2e12e2217ebd84529f64a35db84d2e427BTW, pfSense 2.2-RC1 was released Dec 10 (deliberately after 10.1-RELEASE).
https://blog.pfsense.org/?p=1506The OPNsense team have also been overly enthusiastic about stripping off Copyright. If that's who they want to be, I'm going to
let it stand (for now.) As my grandfather said, "Character is destiny." In one particular instance, they've repaired things, (likely because Scott Ullrich complained, but I don't know.)https://github.com/opnsense/tools/commit/b0079b541421194f9acd9199c7061335af1f3672
As I read that I was thinking 'pretty sure applianceshop might object to the name…... oh wait'. ;)
No, but Jos did threaten the pfSense trademark registration in Europe. "Character is destiny."
Generally speaking choice is a good thing. I look forward to seeing how this pans out. :)
Yes, I saw that you recently joined as a member of their forum.
-
Yep. Mostly because when I first tried pfSense many years ago after reading about it on Slashdot (1.0?). I read some threads on the forum and nearly registered but didn't and regretted it ever since. ::)

The UI Looks very flashy and modern.
-
Indeed, the GUI is nice.
They left i386 builds out of the initial release.
They removed the ability to set static routes out of their initial release, too.They removed AES-GCM (and with it, support for any real speed-up due to AES-NI), and it's not scheduled to come back until release 15.7.
https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/11
But the GUI is nice. ;)
-
I'm waiting for the people who use that to join this forum to ask for how it actually works, and ask for help fixing problems and bugs.
Of course, lots of confusion and messy threads because it won't be clear it's not pfSense.

And they put out their second "stable" release with strongswan 5.2.2, which seriously broke some things in IPsec. It was an upgrade that needed to happen since it has a security-related fix (DoS), but it also broke rekeying to the extent a majority of systems using IPsec would have outage-inducing issues after somewhere between a few hours to a few days. Testing, anyone? We slipped a week on 2.2 release in getting those problems debugged and resolved. We pretty quickly determined there were issues, because we test things (plus have help from everyone here in doing so).
Again, easy to push out releases if you don't care or are oblivious to whether things actually work.

They've got a lot to learn.

The tweet itself is spot on too, btw.
