 I have been using DynFi Firewall since v.1.00 as a SMB device filtering a network with 10+ devices.

I have learnt to use the DNS filtering which is both easy and rapid to deploy (provided that you have a powerful enough device). This is most welcome to improve FW security, without the burden of more resource intensive solutions which are offered on similar Open Source FWs.

I have also setup a VPN with OpenVPN for my remote work requirements and firewall filtering.

I would definitely recommend the use of this open source firewall which brings useful additional features, beyond the expected behavior of OPNsense and pfSense.

This a most welcome addition to BSD based firewalls, and will certainly foster some improvements across the board for what has become an affordable open source alternative to expensive commercial firewalls.
