Which is better for network security: OpenWRT or pfSense?
OpenWRT is already installed at home and now I learned about pfSense. What has a greater degree of protection and does it make sense to combine them, tobish pfSense + OpenWRT?

It makes no sense for home use.
'degree of protection' (what do you mean by that by the way) will be determined primarily by the firewall settings, and not by whether it works on pf, or netfilter
The 'do it well for a typical scenario' button is approximately the same here and there
Which is cooler - a Ferrari or a Lamborghini? :) It
makes no sense to combine :)
OpenWRT is "Linux for weak devices". It is sewn into a zillion of various Sokhov routers and access points, turning them into a relatively full-fledged linux. At least netfilter will be more or less there.
pfSense is a FreeBSD-based router that has a pf. If you want to talk about Linux vs FreeBSD - read the reviews of this and that ...
Well, that is - two different, approximately the same in terms of efficiency toolkit. How you use them is up to you...
