I don't doubt OpenWRT can do those things, but can they do them as well as pfSense?
I'm sure OpenWRT can do them just as well, once configured. I haven't looked at OpenWRT lately but I previously got the impression that many add-on packages and even built-in features didn't include GUI extensions. Configuration of these had to be done from a console. With pfSense and OPNsense, extending the GUI by installed packages seems to be the norm. I'm comfortable configuring using a console, having done it frequently during my employment, but these days I usually just want to get things done, without a lot of reading, learning and typing. Another reason for using OPNsense is just to play with something different and new to me. :-) -- Scott
