Score: 6.3/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 6, Documentation: 8, Utility: 6)

armsense is an experimental firewall and router distribution for ARM64 systems, derived from pfSense CE and FreeBSD, currently running as a UEFI VM with plans for Raspberry Pi. It fills a gap by bringing the pfSense ecosystem to ARM64, but is not production-ready and lacks security review.

Target audience: network engineers, devops, homelab enthusiasts, ARM64 platform developers
