The security has improved as we can isolate the network.

We can do attrition prevention via a tool that comes with the solution.

We can have a VPN solution in place for those that work from home, outside the network, in a secure manner.

We also like that it offers good authentication. It offers radius-based authentication, which has been useful for the company. 

The main platform is under the Open VPN firewall.

The solution has high availability. When we have different ISPs, we can actually load balance those links or actually put some priority or even classify the traffic that might go into one ISP or another.

OpNsense has given the most fundamental security service/support to our clients in an unstructured world like freelancers, consultants, soho users, etc. That is based on NIST guidelines, so, overall basic security postures are in place.

We are onboarding cloud solutions for customers. We are on Azure. Especially on Azure, when the customers start, they always have small environments. We were looking for the best firewall solution for small environments, not big environments. We needed a small firewall, and we came across OPNsense. For small customers, we will use OPNsense in the future due to cost reasons. These are small installations, and Azure Firewall is very expensive.

OPNsense has been useful. It's easy to use. We can open a new VPN connection easily. It's much easier than with Fortinet in our experience. It is open source licensed. 

Open source software operates well. It's a good product. It's what FortiGate was with licensing. You need new licenses for it now. OPNsense is much more flexible.
