I followed this guide and have had zero issues. I had to do it this way because Opnsense didn’t natively support my 10g NIC. I have Proxmox handle the hardware side of things and pass through a virtualized card to Opnsense (albeit with slightly reduced performance).

I run Opnsense on a Proxmox VM (I followed this guide). I’m quite pleased with it. Opnsense is probably going to be more secure than any consumer router firmware, but you’re going to have to make a bigger upfront investment in hardware. I had never used Opnsense prior to using this system, and the fact that I’m running it on Proxmox is a huge benefit. If I’m ever about to do anything I’m unsure of, I can snapshot the VM in Proxmox. If my router config breaks as a result of my tinkering, I can easily restore from the snapshot.
Somebody got a smoking deal on a ridiculous quantity of siding.
With all those hard surfaces and open spaces, the echoes in this place must be unreal.
The pfsense devs has acted like jackasses towards the opnsense gang.
And toward their users. Ask the wrong question on the pfSense subreddit or forum and expect to get lit up. The Opnsense community is much more helpful and inviting in my experience.
Pretty killer specs on paper. In my experience, these AliExpress boards have a bunch of minor annoyances that add up. Examples of those annoyances from my experience include:
There’s a great opportunity for someone to sell replacement badges and logos for “converting” a Tesla into, say, a Mazda.
