Plugins

--------------------------------
|

|
|
||
|
Plugins are additional software packages that are available for OPNsense, usually they come with there own
|
||
|
frontend components to setup the software underneath.
|
||
|
Here you can find community support plugins, such as **bind**, **c-icap**, **freeradius** and others. Usually there is also
|
||
|
a **-devel** version available, which contains features still under development (master branch on GitHub verses release).
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. Note::

You can use the <i class="fa fa-plus fa-fw"></i> symbol to install the package.

|

|
The settings menu contains all available mirrors and options which you can choose for your installation.

OPNsense supports two flavours for its TLS crypto stack , OpenSSL and LibreSSL. Our standard is `OpenSSL <https://www.openssl.org/>`__, but some more
|
||
|
security minded people favor OpenBSD's `LibreSSL <https://www.libressl.org/>`__
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. Note::
|
||
|
|
||
|
Since OpenSSL is more widely used, some software packages are not compatible with LibreSSL.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. Tip::
|
||
|
|
||
|
The settings menu also provides the option to test development versions, which can be practical when testing features that
|
||
|
are planned for release. Just change the release type to **Development**.
