Add a VLAN to OPNsense in Just 26 Clicks Across 6 Screens

Read Original

This article provides a detailed critique of the OPNsense firewall's user interface for creating a basic VLAN. The author meticulously counted 26 clicks, 71 keystrokes, and 6 distinct screens to complete the task, arguing the process is unnecessarily complex. It proposes a simplified, single-dialog workflow with sensible defaults to improve the user experience for this common network administration task.
