Deciso®, creator of the trusted OPNsense® open-source firewall platform, announces the release of OPNsense® Business Edition 26.10. Building on the architectural improvements introduced in the latest Community Edition, this release brings enhanced firewall and interface management, improved network services, and new Business Edition functionality designed to simplify network administration and strengthen operational control. With the introduction of an integrated Authoritative DNS server, alongside advanced centralized management capabilities, OPNsense® Business Edition 26.10 continues to combine open-source innovation with the reliability, flexibility, and professional support required by business and enterprise environments.
MIDDELHARNIS, Netherlands, Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Key Highlights of OPNsense® Business Edition 26.10
- Modernized Interface Management: a redesigned Interface Assignments framework replaces the legacy module, creating a more consistent management experience and laying the foundation for future API-driven configuration. This architectural improvement supports the continued evolution of OPNsense towards more flexible and automated network management.
- Enhanced Firewall Management: building on previous firewall improvements, version 26.10 further streamlines Network Address Translation (NAT) by migrating Outbound NAT to the modern Source NAT architecture. This creates greater consistency across firewall configuration and simplifies ongoing administration.
- New Authoritative DNS Server – Business Edition Exclusive: a new, easily manageable Authoritative DNS service, based on PowerDNS, extends the Business Edition's network infrastructure capabilities. Designed primarily for internal DNS environments, the service enables administrators to manage DNS zones and records directly within OPNsense. Support for reverse lookup zones, dynamic DNS updates, and primary/secondary configurations provides greater flexibility in managing businesscritical network services.
- Improved OpenVPN Security: support for TLS-Crypt v2 introduces additional security capabilities for OpenVPN connections, providing enhanced protection for VPN deployments.
- Expanded KEA DHCP Functionality: new Dynamic DNS (DDNS) support enables KEA DHCP to work more closely with DNS infrastructure, simplifying the management of dynamically assigned network addresses and associated DNS records.
- Centralized Management with OPNcentral: OPNcentral continues to provide Business Edition customers with centralized management capabilities for multiple OPNsense installations. By bringing network administration together in a unified environment, organizations can simplify operations and maintain greater consistency across distributed infrastructures.
Continuous Innovation, Enterprise-Ready
OPNsense® Business Edition 26.10 reflects Deciso's commitment to continuous, iterative development. Rather than introducing complexity through isolated features, the release focuses on strengthening core functionality, improving consistency, and making advanced network services easier to manage.
Combined with ongoing refinements across the platform, these improvements help organizations maintain secure, flexible, and manageable network infrastructures while benefiting from the transparency of open-source technology.
"With Business Edition 26.10, we're continuing to make network security more manageable without compromising flexibility or control," says Ad Schellevis, CIO of Deciso.
"The improvements in firewall and interface management create a stronger foundation for future development, while the new Authoritative DNS service brings additional functionality directly into the platform. Together with centralized management through OPNcentral, this release helps organizations simplify their network operations and maintain control over their infrastructure."
