In this video we briefly show you how to migrate from pfSense® software to OPNsense safely without losing any benefits of pfBlockerNG. You will see that OPNsense provides different security features as an alternative to the pfBlockerNG package.
By configuring the following OPNsense official or vendor plugins, Zenarmor in particular, you can not only utilize the functionalities of pfBlockerNG but also enhance the security of your network:
1. Zenarmor (for all pfBlockerNG functionalities + much more)
2. Firewall Aliases and Suricata IPS (for GeoIP blocking)
3. Unbound DNS (for DNS blocking)
4. Spamhaus (for spam filtering)
Zenarmor is the best alternative to pfBlockerNG. By installing and configuring Zenarmor on supported platforms like OPNsense and pfSense CE, users can create a more secure environment. Even the free version of Zenarmor next-generation firewall offers superior security, and those migrating from pfSense to OPNsense will be more than satisfied.
OPNsense, powered by Zenarmor, offers enterprise-level next-generation firewall features like application control, web filtering, deep packet inspection, AI-based CTI, user-based filtering, advanced reporting, network analytics, and integration with many security solutions like authentication platforms, SIEM, and API, among others. Moreover, it will soon provide full TLS inspection and device identification features for paid editions. Whereas pfBlockerNG merely performs DNS-based filtering.
