Projects that build routers and firewalls using FreeBSD include:

OPNsense

https://opnsense.org

It is a solution that uses a PC or server and has a WEB interface. It seems that I forked from m0n0wall (mono wall).

pfSense

https://www.pfsense.org

It has a web interface as a solution that uses a server or a dedicated machine. It seems that I forked from m0n0wall. It is better than commercial.

SmallWall

http://www.smallwall.org

It seems that I forked from m0n0wall, but development seems to have stopped.

Bastille

https://bastillebsd.org

It seems to be a configuration management tool, but it seems to be possible to make NAT etc.

BSD Router Project

https://bsdrp.net

A solution using amd64 and i386.

ZRouter.org

https://zrouter.org

A make-based build tool for modules with small mips and arm. Create an image in cross build. A wrapper for buildworld / buildkernel.

freebsd-wifi-build

https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-wifi-build

A sh script-based build tool for small mips modules. Create an image in cross build. A wrapper for buildworld / buildkernel.

It’s not a router project, but a build tool for arm boards such as Rasppies.
