I was using the pfSense firewall as my primary router, and one day, I decided to replace it with Opnsense. Please don’t make the same mistake I did, which is playing with the home network. In this one, we will look at how you can install an Opnsense firewall on a VMware workstation. In the last article, we covered how you can install Opnsense on VirtualBox.


When you want to test this opnsense firewall, the best option is to build a lab with it or replace it with your home router. It does the job really well unlike pfSense, Opnsense is entirely open-source.

The Opnsense is a free, open-source firewall that you could use on your home or small enterprise networks.
