The Product
OPNsense is a FreeBSD based firewall and routing platform. Being a fork of pfSense (which itself has been a fork of M0n0wall), OPNsense has heavily modernized the platform over the last couple of years.
From a Feature point of view there are way too many to list here.

Some of the main features are:
Traffic Shaper Two-factor Authentication throughout the system Captive portal Forward Caching Proxy (transparent) with Blacklist support Virtual Private Network (site to site & road warrior, IPsec, OpenVPN & legacy PPTP support) High Availability & Hardware Failover ( with configuration synchronization & synchronized state tables) Intrusion Detection and Prevention Built-in reporting and monitoring tools including RRD Graphs Netflow Exporter Network Flow Monitoring Support for plugins DNS Server & DNS Forwarder DHCP Server and Relay Dynamic DNS Encrypted configuration backup to Google Drive Stateful inspection firewall Granular control over state table 802.1Q VLAN support
Secure! Reliable!
OPNsense has proven it’s reliability, scalability and security over the last couple years.
Having had next to no security issues in the past (and those that were have been fixed quickly) is ensuring that your infrastructure stays protected.
Using the HA-Feature, Firewall Updates are a bliss.
OPNsense is open source and can be used for free (Community Edition). If you want commercial support you can also buy a subscription at a very fair rate.
