Thank you for telling me how to select the hard drive. Most people skipped over this part

Many thanks. My previously stable PFSense 2.6 on a Protectli device has been dropping the ISP WAN port (1 Gbe fiber) for two months now, driving me crazy. Decided to shift to OPNSense, your guide helped, and it has been rock stable!

I spent a few days trying to find a good getting started guide and this was perfect. This is what got me running! Thanks a ton.

Great video. I saw a coworker once cloned a new empty drive to the one they were trying to make a backup of. 🤦‍♂️

Can't wait for Zenarmor setup with IPS on Wan having allá sorts of issues getting that working. Zenarmor works relatively really well with very low false positives.

many thanks for the video. Great video to show the full installation process.

Here after my pfsense plus upgrade failed. After seeing my problem was reported 2 months ago by several people with no resolution I decided it's time to switch.

Is it supported to use bhyve within opensense (not to get confused to install opensense on a VM rather installing vms on top of opensense?)

Furthermore, can you enable zfs encryption during install?

[cubeflinger]

I am pretty sure rufus will just image that BZ file natively.

Thank YOU! i have a question for you. I want to put the opensense between my modem and my router? Did you do this or did you put it after a router? Can Opensense assign dhcp addresses? I have tried putting it as my Lan after a router and it worked fine after router but I cant get it working as wan in-between modem and router. is it like PFsense where you cant use realtek nics?

[robertwestinghouse]

Thanks. But..I could not verify the file and no amount of searching could I find all the instructions...so I just guessed the file was OK and tried to burn it with rufus. I could not get passed burning the USB. It keeps failing. I get a write error...any suggestions??

[Phil-D]

Is there a pfblocker ng package for it?

[superbrokes]

hello sir can u setup opnsense with PPOE SERVER thank you

[mr.boniato]

So this can't be installed with an Intel CPU?
