OPNManager is a beta version Android app for the OPNsense firewall
OPNManager is a streamlined, user-friendly application designed to simplify the management of OPNsense firewalls. Built with Tauri and SvelteKit, this cross-platform app provides an intuitive interface for users who need a more simplified alternative to the standard OPNsense web interface.
It is not an official OPNsense mobile app but will use the OPNsense API to allow a user to view and manage some basic dashboard functionality.
The dev is trying to get enough testers together (see on the r/opnsense Subreddit) and then the app can appear as a beta testing app on Android’s app store.
But if you look at the GitHub site you will see an Android APK release, as well as Linux releases including an AppImage so far.
See github.com/Red-Swingline/OPNMa…
