I just want to compliment you on what I think might be the best piece of Open source software I've ever encountered. I've used Linux exclusively for over 16 years, with a few forays into FreeBSD. The level of quality in OPNsense it's amazing. Every time I've updated whether it be package updates or a major release it's been absolutely flawless. Every feature I've used is working perfectly
