Router Operating Systems

There are a few router OS's I considered, including those bundled with hardware, which were ultimately shot down due to underperforming hardware and a lack of features (for example, EdgeRouters have slow hardware and use a fork of VyOS with a subset of its features). Other options like Sophos UTM and Untangle were discarded because they are not freely available, at least not with the required feature set.

Features VyOS pfSense OpnSense
BGP Yes Yes (frr package) Yes (frr package)
Wireguard Yes No (removed) Yes (os-wireguard package)
GRE Yes Yes Yes
ROA Yes (1.3.x+ branch) Yes No
Looking Glass Yes Yes Yes
