Based on my experience, it is better to virtualize the firewalls on your machine before going ahead with the migration. You should be good if you have a high availability configuration or spare machine with which you can test. I have to tell you that your family members will hate you for this 🙂 because you are breaking the home network while trying to test different network firewalls. Later, I changed it back to pfSense, did a lot more testing, and again went back to Opnense. I was using the pfSense firewall as my primary router, and one day, I decided to replace it with Opnsense. Please don’t make the same mistake I did, which is playing with the home network. In this one, we will look at how you can install an Opnsense firewall on a VMware workstation. In the last article, we covered how you can install Opnsense on VirtualBox. When you want to test this opnsense firewall, the best option is to build a lab with it or replace it with your home router. It does the job really well unlike pfSense, Opnsense is entirely open-source. The Opnsense is a free, open-source firewall that you could use on your home or small enterprise networks.
