Thank you for taking the time to work on a PR for Awesome-Sysadmin!

To ensure your PR is dealt with swiftly please check the following:

  • Your additions are Free software
  • Software your are submitting is not your own, unless you have a healthy ecosystem with a few contributors (which aren't your sock puppet accounts).
  • Submit one item per pull request. This eases reviewing and speeds up inclusion.
  • Format your submission as follows, where Demo and Clients are optional.
    Do not add a duplicate Source code link if it is the same as the main link.
    Keep the short description under 80 characters and use sentence case
    for it, even if the project's webpage or readme uses another capitalisation.
    Demo links should only be used for interactive demos, i.e. not video demonstrations.
    - [Name](http://homepage/) - Short description, under 250 characters, sentence case. ([Demo](http://url.to/demo), [Source Code](http://url.of/source/code), [Clients](https://url.to/list/of/related/clients-or-apps)) `License` `Language`
  • Additions are inserted preserving alphabetical order.
  • Additions are not already listed at awesome-selfhosted
  • The Language tag is the main server-side requirement for the software. Don't include frameworks or specific dialects.
  • You have searched the repository for any relevant issues or PRs, including closed ones.
  • Any category you are creating has the minimum requirement of 3 items.
  • Any software project you are adding to the list is actively maintained.
  • The pull request title is informative, unlike "Update README.md".
    Suggested titles: "Add aaa to bbb" for adding software aaa to section bbb,
    "Remove aaa from bbb" for removing, "Fix license for aaa", etc.

Why it is awesome

OPNsense is a useful and powerful router with the ability to install plugins.

Very nice, thank you. I suggested a minor syntax correction.

I have used DD-WRT in a professional context and would recommend it if you need to squeeze a lot a features from the cheap embedded devices it supports.

I have not used OpenWrt but I see it as a frequent recommendation/alternative to DD-WRT (I think the list of supported devices is different).

I have used pfSense CE in a professional context (but not OPNsense), I would also recommend it as it has a lot of features, the UI is clean/very manageable, it's actively maintained, and FOSS. Since OPNsense is a fork, I would approve it as well.

@WebSnke in short, why would you recommend OPNsense instead of pfSense? The wikipedia page does not give much details about the reason of the fork.

I added OPNsense because the GUI seems more user-friendly and because it gets updated more frequently.
It was forked many years ago and the developers seem to have made many changes, which is why I think that it should have its own entry.

I haven't used it though but it was also recommended by LTT in one of their videos.
