Deciso Delivers New Open Source Firewall Alternative
Middelharnis, the Netherlands –Â By releasing the full potential of the AMD G-Series SOC for wire speed gigabit network security it is now possible to protect networks with affordable and turnkey open source firewall appliances.
The new OPNsense firewall appliances provide an easy-to-use yet powerful platform to users and developers. Its source code is open and verifiable for all.

The large feature set of the OPNsense firewall software includes several high end features like load balancing, high availability and captive portal, all without licensing costs. This feature set and the powerful hardware foundation makes the product a viable alternative for many expensive proprietary solutions.
