OPNsense 21.1 released

OPNsense announced the release of OPNsense 21.1, also known as Marvelous Meerkat. The latest release comes with new and improved firewall rules and NAT categories, the traffic graphs supporting IPv6 along with a visual refresh, intrusion detection rule management by policies, an alias for MAC addresses, and NAT over IPsec. The company also announced that the WireGuard plugin is still available and receives continuous improvements from its maintainer and users. Dnsmasq has been switched to a pluggable file-based approach with Unbound to follow in the upcoming 21.7 series. To download the latest version, you can visit the full mirror list.
