    No, OPNsense doesn’t exist because of pfsense false advertising and misleading people to think it’s open source.

    More like it exists because of pfsense not being open source. This has nothing to do with the advertising.

      What’s proprietary about pfSense? Been using it for a decade and this is news to me.

        The article is a good start. For one, you cannot build it. They have some sort of proprietary blob in their toolchain so that only netgate can build it.

        Between that, the massive security fuckups, and the absolutely horrid behavior from the maintainers I dumped that shit and haven’t looked back.
