Dynfi a French-style Pfsense firewall

For a long time I have been using PfSense for my infra at home also to secure the virtual machines on my dedicated servers, also for small infra like schools, SMEs, hotels etc ...
I turned to OPNSense for the simplicity of the interface and above all more update and security patches compared to PfSense Community edition. I'm not saying PfSense has become a firewall to avoid, plan to buy the official hardware for better support and patching.

 Dynfi what's else ?

I discovered Dynfi by chance that it is a PfSense/OPNSense type firewall but in the French style, it has the advantage of being simpler and its strong point is also the configuration of the metric interface which allows analyze your logs, flows, traffic and much more.

The interface remains pleasant to use, the proxy function is simple although I prefer the filtering of websites from the dns.

Dynfi Manager

Dynfi Manager is a centralization of Dynfi parks which is also compatible with PfSense and OPNSense, have free but limited otherwise you will have to pay a license for a more advanced configuration: shop.dynfi.com

Here is a detailed example on the site that the service manager can do :

The DynFi Manager software has three types of services (OnPrem, SaaS, Managed Services). It can be used free of charge to manage up to three firewalls, for more you need to purchase a license :

Conslusion ? 

For me it's an excellent thing because it's mainly a French team behind it, although there are some bugs, for example the configuration of the web proxy, but the project is young and I'm convinced that the firewall will improve very quickly.
Personally the Dynfi Manager is excellent especially if you have several firewall sites to manage. I personally recommend the SAAS solution to manage your company's multi-site and the managed service version to also manage your clients' sites. The solution to install on your virtual machine is also a good solution but I would say to test or only for a somewhat geeky person who has your little home lab like me :)
