Opnsense

I have been looking for software replacement for my ageing Draytek 3300 WAN routers.

I'm going to do another post with some comparative notes on some of the distros but wanted to note some things to do with Opnsense to remind myself.

Here's the starter for 10...

http://lastsummer.de/development-workflow-in-opnsense/

Install some useful packages

pkg install vim-lite joe nano gnu-watch git tmux screen mc-light

Now lets get the core so we get the latest updates

# cd
# git clone https://github.com/opnsense/core

Once you have the repository, you switch it live using:

# cd core
# make mount

A quick reboot to make sure that to make sure that lot sticks...

When you come to “make umount” ensure that you cd /root/core or the command will fail !!!

See the comments on the above post.

If you want some other tools then follow this :

That should get you going......
