[opensource-wg] Most popular open source firewall in the world

Hey,

As someone who works a lot with AI, I have to say that chatGPT relies on
what it can find on the internet. The first page I found was from pfsense,
claiming it to be the "world's most trusted open source firewall". The
Dutch call this a "wij van wc-eend", a phrase made by a company to claim
that their product is the best.

I tend to use UFW, but I know people who use Shorewall and CSF. Its a case
of "preference" and what you want to use the firewall for.

Greetings,

Julius
