What Is Up With ClearOS? What Are Your pfSense alternatives? (alien.top)

If I search for ClearOS I find mostly 2+ year old threads. Many older. Many talking about how it has been defunct for years... however if I just visit the site it seems to be still in development and up to date. It also seems like something selfhosted users would like... however I couldn't find any recent discussions on it to see if its garbage or not.

I plan on installing it tomorrow to check it out. I've been trying to migrate away from pfSense but I've been having a hell of a time finding a viable alternative and came across some very old ClearOS threads which is how it got on my radar.

I've been trying to get an OpnSense install up and running but I just can't get it working in the most basic installation. My original plan was just to migrate directly to OpnSense but I've pretty much given up on it.
