🚀 Introducing Boot Environment Integration in OPNsense 🚀

In this video, I demonstrate a groundbreaking feature I've developed for OPNsense, the open-source firewall. Inspired by FreeBSD's boot environments, this new functionality allows users to manage boot environments directly from the OPNsense web interface. Unlike pfSense+, which offers this feature as part of a paid subscription, this integration in OPNsense is (may, if accepted) be available to everyone at no extra cost!

🔧 What You’ll See:

✅ A short proof of concept video showing the new feature in action.
✅ How to manage and switch between boot environments seamlessly within the OPNsense web interface.
✅ The ease and flexibility this feature brings to OPNsense users.

📈 Why This Matters:

✅ Enhances system management and recovery options for all OPNsense users.
✅ Levels the playing field by providing a feature that typically requires a paid subscription in other platforms.
✅ Strengthens OPNsense's position as a leading open-source firewall solution.
✅ Demonstrates the power of open-source software: we can introduce and implement the missing features we need.

🔍 Next Steps:
I plan to submit this code to the OPNsense development team for review. While there's no guarantee it will be accepted, I’m hopeful that this feature will soon become a standard part of OPNsense, benefiting all users.

🎥 About This Channel:
On this channel, I not only provide technical guides and tutorials on OPNsense and other technologies, but I also strive to improve the tools we use by contributing new features and enhancements. This effort is greatly encouraged by the views, subscribers, and loyalty to the channel, which make it possible to give back to the community on such a great scale. Thank you all for your continued support!
