This has passed through AfC after a lot of drama. See discussion here at Talk:AfC, the old draft here, this COIN discussion, and this ANI discussion. I believe that this subject ~just~ makes it through N, and I support this article being here to tone down the disruption caused by advocates of this product and its rival, Pfsense. But am opening a deletion discussion to get feedback after User:Staszek Lem tagged this for N. So let's keep this or delete this already. Jytdog (talk) 20:54, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Brief review of available sources:
Two references already in the article:
  • Linux Format magazine article reposted on techradar.com; comparison of 5 products, OPNsense gets smaller than 1/5 share of the article; RS
  • infoworld.com (in the article is repost via CIO); comparison of 6 products; behind paywall, can´t say how much content devoted to OPNsense; RS
Best other sources I found so far:
  • pro-linux.de - mid size news about version 17.7 (German); webpage claims [1] to have "Redaktion", but it looks like one man staff; still, probably RS
  • root.cz - solid looking comparison of both pfSense a OPNsense (Czech speakers only...); claims to have editorial oversight over submited articles [2]; probably RS
  • heise.de/iX - mid size news about version 17.1 (German); RS
  • heise.de/iX (German) - short to mid size news about version 16.7; RS
pfSense vs OPNsense editwar reminds me of Blue/Red war among Amiga users few years ago... There is some RS coverage, but not yet in quality I would like. Despite that, I´m leaning to keep. Pavlor (talk) 16:11, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
