Thank you, @jfayre, for taking the initiative and contributing accessibility fixes back to OPNsense. Version 24.7 is arriving this month, with bootstrap updates and other accessibility fixes that should make it much more usable for those that use screen readers. Well done. https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=41579.msg204089#msg204089

@tristan @alexhall @jfayre Wow, that is seriously awesome news!
OPNsense was quite inaccessible when I last tried it 2 or so years ago, which is why I’m still using PFSense here. Guess it’ll be time for some serious reinstallation / reconfiguration work soon.

@robin_kipp @tristan @alexhall Like I said, it isn’t perfect, but it’s a hell of a lot better than it was. I would suggest installing it on a virtual machine first just to take a look at the user interface before you upgrade your production machine. And obviously if anyone finds any huge issues that I missed, file an issue.

@robin_kipp @tristan @alexhall There is a current GitHub issue where I’m tracking all of the various pole requests that I’m submitting. The issue title is in progress accessibility for for screen reader users. Don’t have a link right now.

@jfayre @tristan @alexhall Excellent point, yup it is a very complex piece of software with lots of web UI for sure! I’ll look into spinning up a VM to check things out.

@tristan You are very welcome! I think I’ve got most of the really serious issues fixed. There are still things to do like proper field labels and some wacky table headers, but things are in a good place right now.
