BSD Router Project (BSDRP) is an embedded free and open-source router distribution based on FreeBSD. The project's latest release is version 1.994 and uses the FreeBSD 15 development branch. "Starting with this version, BSDRP requires at least a 4GB disk. If you installed BSDRP on a 2GB disk, upgrading will not be possible. However, if it was installed on a 4GB or larger disk, you can resize the system partition using the following command: 'system resize-system-slice 3921924'. New features: This is an intermediate release preparing the branch 2 that will use the poudriere-image framework in place of NanoBSD. Based on FreeBSD 15-head 8f6b66a9d3f and ports tree. New packages: dns/dnsmasq (will replace isc-dhcp44 and dhcprelya); Python 3.11 (this one added more than 100M of libs). Removed packages: freevrrpd (carp is now supporting VRRP mode); ucarp (no more conflict once carp enabled in VRRP mode); net/aquantia-atlantic-kmod (does not build on latest head). Deprecated packages (will be removed in next release): isc-dhcp44 (use dnsmasq, kea requires 300MB disk space with its dependencies); dhcprelya (use dnsmasq)." The release notes offer more information. Download: BSDRP-1.994-full-amd64-vga.img.xz (195MB, SHA256), BSDRP-1.994-full-amd64-serial.img.xz (193MB, SHA256). |

Additional functionality can be added to the operating system via FreeBSD's ports collection.
