It's opnsense. Works well, if you read the docs.
If you've used opnsense on hardware, which you probably have if you're reading this - you know what to expect. It's a good product and super useful. What I will say is that between the confusion that can be AWS networking and the fact that the initial root password is shown once, it can be challenging. However, the documentation for this AMI is extremely good, and once set up, works exactly like you would expect it to. I would highly recommend it.
Full featured open source firewall
OPNsense has a ton of features. Everything I need.
For security reasons there is no default password. This is nice from security point of view but can be confusing for new users. Therefore check documentation https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/installaws.html#step-11-initial-root-password and have a look at console output after first boot.
Good
The deployment is easy and hassle free because it come configured out of the box, just need to setup a proper AWS infrastructure for it to funtion. Overall, it works fine for me.
