TL;DR - www.pf2opn.com
I read about the desire for a converter here in r/homelab and on r/selfhosted this morning and I thought it would be an interesting Saturday afternoon project. I did not write this to claim a bounty.
pf2opn accepts a configuration file from pfsense in xml, does some basic sanity checks, and renders the result which you can copy. You can also download the generated xml, if you wish. The conversion happens in-memory, there are no trackers on the site, and I don’t use any external services to convert your configuration. Reading and converting your configuration happens and stays on your machine. It does not cache the converted file.
I’m not running either platform in my own homelab, but I was able to find a few example configurations for pfsense and opnsense. I’d appreciate some feedback from you all as I don’t think the mappings are 100% correct yet. But I think it’ll spit out a nearly-usable opnsense configuration as is. However, the more sample feedback we get, the closer we can nail the conversion.
Don’t forget to create backups and please don’t deploy straight to prod.
This is great! I added a link to this thread in my pfSense post on /r/selfhosted
But i would really like this on Github or similar, have it as a basic script i can run locally.
I’ve made the source available, see here: https://github.com/mwood77/pf2opn
You should put it on GitHub and let people do it themselves, trusting a website is difficult
Underrated comment
homelab and /r/selfhosted is usually overlap
