Opnsense ntopng plugin6/11/2023 ![]() ![]() Many of the differences I will be discussing will make mention of the user interface differences, but I will also discuss the differences in the functionality offered by the two platforms. However, I think there is much more to consider beside the web interface. Some users choose OPNsense vs pfSense or vice versa on that difference alone. The web interface is the most noticeable difference so it makes sense that it is frequently mentioned. When I see discussions about the differences between pfSense and OPNsense, the #1 difference that is mentioned is the web user interface. If you notice that I missed something, please let me know so that I can update the information. However, it may be possible I unintentionally overlook the location of some options especially if they are named differently. I will do my best to try to find if both pfSense and OPNsense have the same features but located on a different page in the web UI. If you choose OPNsense, I have written several guides on this website since that is my platform of choice, but if you choose pfSense, you should be able to find the information you need from a variety of other sources. My goal with this discussion is to show how the platforms have differed over time to help those who may be deciding which software to choose. However, I want to be clear that I am not stating that one platforms is better than the other in this comparison. I put this discussion under the “Reviews” section because I am documenting differences between the two platforms, which is a review of the available features. There has been 8+ years of development since OPNsense was born so I am personally curious in how the two platforms have diverged over the years. Even though I am not an expert with pfSense since I chose to use OPNsense when I migrated away from consumer grade routers, I thought it may be informative to do a side-by-side comparison of the differences between the two software platforms. Over the last several years I have seen many users who are deciding to use OPNsense or pfSense as their home network router software of choice or they are migrating from pfSense to OPNsense. ![]()
