NxFilter as plugin in OPNsense?

[TumtalaTallpo996]

Hi there good people, I thing It would be a great oportunity for NxFilter to have it as plugin in OPNsense plugin ecosystem. NxFilter its type of SW which is perfectly fit for projects as OPNsense or PFsense. It would definitely get you much more wider adoption. And because NxFilter is also DNS server...its just perfect fit for gateway-router scenario...

Thx in advance!

You can install NxFilter on those systems anyway. We don't want to make dependencies.

Hm, no answer Im hoping for. No one from standard user base of these "sense" projects will fidle with unsupported code outside of plugin system. You want you firewall-router to boot correctly after next update, no to hung up for some incompatibilities from sw outside of implemented plugin system. Users just want to select specific sw from plugin catalog and click install, very few will bother with bash. So its either supported and loved plugin(with simple active-deactive, ip address options from opnsense interface and rest configuration from nxfilter interface), or nothing. Its a shame, nxfilter is a type of sw which would be a great addition to project like opnsense. Well maybe sometime later.
