But I tried to strike a different balance regarding the brevity of the instructions compared to the pfSense guide. My goal was to create a comprehensive guide that’s easy to follow. As my notes grew, I decided to publish them as a guide on my website. Some options moved to different menus or changed. To configure OPNsense, I followed the instructions of the pfSense guide, taking notes on the differences.

The only thing I regret about the purchase is that I now can’t afford the sexier-looking successor model, the DEC690. Albeit expensive and possibly overkill for my needs, I’m happy to support the open-source mission of Deciso, the maintainers of OPNsense. I bit the bullet and bought the Deciso DEC630 appliance. After researching for weeks, I decided to use OPNsense instead of pfSense. I found that guide two years ago and immediately fell in love with the network setup. The title of this guide is an homage to the pfSense baseline guide with VPN, Guest, and VLAN support that some of you guys might know, and this is an OPNsense migration of it. This beginner-friendly, step-by-step guide walks you through the initial configuration of your OPNsense firewall.
