I think you will be back at Ipfire soon. OPNsense is a confusing mess and while IPfire certainly has its issues, at least it is easy to understand and it does what it is supposed to.

I hate how bloaty opnsense is at first glance but it has so much more control so once I copy my current config I’ll be leaving ipfire in the dust.

yea I have the machine backed up in case this happens. I have noticed that its a mess UI wise. But ipfire doesn’t seem to be stable. every few months it’ll randomly kill itself which will take everything on the network down until i manually restart the machine and then force tell it a new DNS server. It’s something I’ve never managed to resolve on the machine, and I don’t seem to have that issue with my test network with OPNsense.

Nice. Haven’t tried IpFire but gonna give it a look. Been on OpnSense for a couple years now and have been enjoying it.
