OPNsense and pfSense are based off of the defunct m0n0wall distribution: m0n0wall has encouraged OPNsense as its successor. DynFi is another router/firewall distribution based off of OPNsense and pfSense. It uses a modified FreeBSD, and has a ports overlay on top of FreeBSD ports. DynFi also has...

For FreeBSD users, share your experience of FreeBSD based NAS distributions. In addition, share your experiences using FreeBSD directly for NAS services or for dedicated NAS. Welcome are comparisons of NAS services on FreeBSD to XigmaNAS and past uses of FreeNAS or TrueNAS. Also, share...

Mainly for setting up ARM 64-bit (ARM64/AARCH64) architecture systems which Single Board Computers (SBC's) or miniboards use. In my case, it's a Raspberry Pi 4. This case is under $10 and fits in a front shirt pocket. The MicroSD card didn't fit with the board into the hard case at first, so I...

I've been a windows 10 user for years now, and before Windows 7, but I've been also booting Linux distributions on a Live USB to get away from Windows from time to time, and I've been trying FreeBSD on a virtual machine, lately I've only been having too many issues with Windows 10 (and I'd never...

I've been looking at the market for firewall appliances/distributions again, and stumbled upon DynFi firewall, which I have never heared before. Even more interesting, it is based and built upon FreeBSD, being itself a fork of OPNSense. It seems to be based in France, and the forums are not...

For FreeBSD users who have used OpenBSD, Fugulta or any OpenBSD derivative, what is your experience with it? I've never used them, though, I thought a discussion on them would provide useful insight. It would have been better if someone who has used it started a thread like this, but it hasn't...

For FreeBSD users, and those who've ever used FreeBSD, share your NetBSD experience. Including, if you've used NetBSD for complementary use with FreeBSD, such as needing hardware support for access. Keep in mind: why-is-freebsd-not-more-like.66591. For other discussion and technical help about...

As you know GhostBSD offers a Live mode for testing, a really easy to use installer & a collection of apps installed by default which makes it really easy for FreeBSD newbies to try FreeBSD. I have a GhostBSD install and personally I am quite satisfied. The only thing that I don't like is the...

https://hardenedbsd.org/content/about I am using GhostBSD. I like it. Its quite user friendly. I searched about which is the most secure OS & found 2. The first one is OpenBSD & the second is HardenedBSD. I care a lot about security so I am curious. Is HardenedBSD really more secure than...

Who's new to FreeBSD? Did you migrate from another OS and what was your reason?

Hi, there's a thread about Hammer currently, which got me wondering. Who if anyone is using DragonFly and for what? I've been aware of it since I started using FreeBSD, but always considered it to be effectively still in development, bearing in mind its main goals of clustering and...
