Relations with OPNsense
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
OPNsense is built on top of FreeBSD. The aim of the OPNsense team is to stay as
|
|
close to the original 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
|
|
process a joyful experience.
