Why do you want to migrate from pfsense?

For those non technical reasons. And just to play around with something different. I'm rebuilding my network so I figured I'd try some products to see if I want to use something different. I might try the Omada and UniFi gateways as well.

As for clearOS, I wouldn't waste time on it. I think after HPE bought them, they mostly stagnated. Looking at their github, nothing is really done:https://github.com/orgs/clearos/repositories

That's weird. They have some screenshots of Plex with modern/current UI. They have a bunch with the older UI as well. They've updated the date on some of their articles and pages but the latest release seems to be from 2019. What a strange way for a product to die off.

I'll check it out

If I search for ClearOS I find mostly 2+ year old threads. Many older. Many talking about how it has been defunct for years... however if I just visit the site it seems to be still in development and up to date. It also seems like something selfhosted users would like... however I couldn't find any recent discussions on it to see if its garbage or not.

I plan on installing it tomorrow to check it out. I've been trying to migrate away from pfSense but I've been having a hell of a time finding a viable alternative and came across some very old ClearOS threads which is how it got on my radar.

I've been trying to get an OpnSense install up and running but I just can't get it working in the most basic installation. My original plan was just to migrate directly to OpnSense but I've pretty much given up on it.
