keeps track of the state of network
connections (such as TCP streams,
UDP communication) traveling across
it. OPNsense offers grouping of
Firewall Rules by Category, a great
feature for more demanding
network setups.
FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS

Traffic Shaper
Traffic shaping within OPNsense is
very flexible and is organised
around pipes, queues and
corresponding rules. The pipes
define the allowed bandwidth, the
queues can be used to set a weight
within the pipe and finally the rules
are used to apply the shaping to a
certain package flow.

based on Suricata and utilises
Netmap to enhance performance

mitigate security threats at wire
speed.

EmergingThreat Open rules, SSL
Blacklist (SSLBL), A project
