You are invited!

The OPNsense® project invites developers to become an OPNsense Developer: “For your own purpose or even better to join us in creating the best HardenedBSD based open source firewall available!” The development workflow & build process has been redesigned to make it more straightforward and easy for developers to build OPNsense.

Being able to get the sources and build it yourself is one of the key factors of open source software. One reason that for starting the OPNsense project is that the team believes sources and build tools should be freely available and as easy to use as possible.

More information about how to use the tools and how to contribute see the OPNsense page on (GitHub).
