OPNsense is a BSD-licensed, easy-to-use and easy-to-build FreeBSD-based
firewall and routing platform.

This presentation is a hands-on preview of OPNsense, and should appeal
to a wide range of people looking for BSD based router and firewall
platforms.

With hands-on examples and gear on-site, we'll be covering:

        Thanks to the stable FreeBSD Base, OPNsense is solid through
changes.

        Why a granular development process?
        HardenedBSD (Whaaaa?!)
        LibreSSL, OpenSSL
