This is a short one because both OPNsense and pfSense offer themes. Both have some dark mode options and the rest of the topic is too subjective to be worthy a long debate.<\/p>\n
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.<\/p>\n
pfSense: <\/strong><\/p>\n You can choose between light and dark themes and a bunch of accent colors. In 2.5.1 I find on many instances the UI will hang and restart all day long. Trying to edit an attribute or access a menu works for about 20 seconds then dies for the rest of the minute. Super tedious.<\/p>\n No bug filed because we do not yet have enough data to create a meaningful bug report.<\/p>\n The pfSense layout makes sense to me but after some weeks in OPNsense I can navigate that one just as well. In some cases pfSense loads faster than OPNsense out of the box, for example firewall_rules.php. If you have 50+ interfaces having them in a row on top loads faster than the frame on the left side that OPNsense uses but OPNsense has a compression feature that can help negate this penalty.<\/p>\n OPNsense:<\/strong> <\/p>\n Themes offered as plugins. Layout is different, somewhat contextual. They have a search bar in the rop right-hand corner of the UI that can find many (but for some reason not all!?) settings. I find the UI in OPNsense 21.x more stable than pfSense 2.5.x. Did not have it crash. They have a “HTTP Compression” feature that actually works really well. With this enabled the UI outperforms pfSense in every case I tested.<\/p>\n Verdict:<\/strong><\/p>\n Point goes to OPNsense because “HTTP Compression” makes the UI perform really well<\/strong> and in pfSense 2.5.x I have encountered numerous devices now where pfSense GUI will just hang and recover in an constant cycle. Would be a tie if pfSense were stable.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is a short one because both OPNsense and pfSense offer themes.
