Comment: Note to reviewers! This draft is being discussed on the AfC talk page, here. Thanks. ProgrammingGeek talktome 16:36, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
- Comment: Looking in, what we essentially need and therefore consider the best chances here are significant reviews or reception; Notability cannot be inherited either. SwisterTwister talk 23:15, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
- Comment: There's still way too heavy of a reliance on primary sources and press releases. The very few third party sources just mention the subject in passing or as part of some list review. We need to see much more substantial coverage than that. Could be a case of WP:TOOSOON, but either way it's likely that this subject simply isn't notable at this time. Sulfurboy (talk) 20:52, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
- Comment: Sourcing is entirely primary, PRs or just routine mentions about the company. Sulfurboy (talk) 07:11, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
- Comment: Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. David.moreno72 06:46, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
- Comment: Reference #2 not permitted. David.moreno72 03:20, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

OPNsense is an open source, FreeBSD-based firewall and routing platform. The software is released as images for x-86 and AMD-64 platforms. The images can be installed on either physical hardware or on a virtual machine. The firewall can be administered with almost no knowledge of the underlying FreeBSD platform through a GUI based web interface. OPNSense has been released under the FreeBSD license.
OPNSense has its origins in m0n0wall, an embedded firewall distribution built on FreeBSD, created by Manual Kasper and first released on February 15, 2003. m0n0wall was forked in 2004 to create PfSense, with the aim to create a fully PC compatible installation vs m0n0wall's embedded model. OPNSense was forked from PfSense in 2014 and had it first release on 02 January 2015. The company behind the fork was Decisco B.V. M0n0wall which was the original project from which both PfSense and OPNSense was derived ceased development on Feb 15, 2015.[1] [2][3]
OPNSense images are available for x-86 and AMD-64 platforms and hence can be installed on any COTS devices with Intel or AMD processors with HDD, SSDs of CF cards . Using newer versions of processors which support AES-NI, the performance and throughput for VPNs can be enhanced by offloading AES Encryption to hardware layer instead of being performed in software.
