|
features, speed, and stability. It is derived from BSD, the version of UNIX®
|
|
|
|
|
developed at the University of California, Berkeley. It is developed and
|
|
|
|
|
maintained by a large community.

OPNsense is built on top of HardenedBSD which is a fork of FreeBSD. The aim of the OPNsense team is to stay as

|
|
|
close to the original HardenedBSD source as possible. OPNsense can be installed on
|

|
|
|
a standard FreeBSD installation, this way a hosted system can be converted
|
|
|
|
|
easily to run OPNsense. A bootstrap script is available to make the installation
