Most popular open source firewall in the world
Subject: Most popular open source firewall in the world Good day from Singapore, I am using pfsense community edition 2.7.2 firewall at home. Recently I asked ChatGPT. ChatGPT says pfsense is the singular most popular open source firewall in the world. Is pfsense really the most popular open source firewall in the world? If there is more than one, please provide a list of the most popular open source firewall(s) in the world as well. Preferably from well accredited sources. Thank you. Regards, Mr. Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming Targeted Individual in Singapore
Hi, I mean just from a quick search there are a bunch of great opensource firewalls. Some more popular than others, depending on the use case. The first one which would come into my mind is OPNSense, a fork of pfsense. I use it myself and it works great. Another one could be IPFire and IPCop. This site is in German but it lists a few, you could evaluate if you search for something new (not affiliated with that site): https://aware7.com/de/blog/die-12-besten-open-source-firewalls/ All the best, Klaas ________________________________ Von: opensource-wg <opensource-wg-bounces@ripe.net> im Auftrag von Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming via opensource-wg <opensource-wg@ripe.net> Gesendet: Montag, 19.

Hey, As someone who works a lot with AI, I have to say that chatGPT relies on what it can find on the internet. The first page I found was from pfsense, claiming it to be the "world's most trusted open source firewall". The Dutch call this a "wij van wc-eend", a phrase made by a company to claim that their product is the best. I tend to use UFW, but I know people who use Shorewall and CSF. Its a case of "preference" and what you want to use the firewall for. Greetings, Julius On Mon, Feb 19, 2024 at 3:54 PM Klaas Tammling <klaas@tammling.hamburg> wrote:

I think the whole question is wrong. I don't see there to be one BEST product. It all matters for the application. What is required (i.e. features, support, performance etc). What is the know-how of the enduser? Does it require a simple graphic interface? Or is a CLI preferred? Or both needed? Do you just need a single setup or is this which should be rolled out to various remote locations? Do you require it to run on a specific hardware or OS? If you really want to help to select something and not just doing some marketing research, then explain your situation and ask for suggestions for it.

Dear Martin, I prefer to use the open source firewall that is the most popular in the world to get a feel-good feeling. Based on my research in online shopping platforms like Lazada, many online shops are selling hardware appliances that claim to be compatible with pfsense and opnsense. pfsense and opnsense are the most frequently mentioned open source firewalls in Lazada and other online shopping platforms.

Dear Julius, I prefer to use a firewall distro that could secure the entire network like pfsense, opnsense, ipfire, etc. I personally feel that UFW, shorewall and CSF are too basic and they are host-based solutions, that is, they can only secure the computers they are installed on, not the entire network.

Dear Klaas, Thanks for the link. IPCop is an abandoned opensource firewall project. I personally feel ipfire is not as good as pfsense.
