I'm sure OpenWRT can do them just as well, once configured. I haven't
looked at OpenWRT lately but I previously got the impression that many
add-on packages and even built-in features didn't include GUI
extensions. Configuration of these had to be done from a console.

With pfSense and OPNsense, extending the GUI by installed packages
seems to be the norm.

I'm comfortable configuring using a console, having done it frequently
during my employment, but these days I usually just want to get things
done, without a lot of reading, learning and typing.

Another reason for using OPNsense is just to play with something
different and new to me. :-)
