OPNsense all the way. I run it in a VM. I ran PFsense for years then finally went through the pain of migrating. It was worth it for the UI improvements alone. PFsense also corrupted itself twice in about 4-5 years of running it, requiring restores from VM snapshots. OPNsense has been rock solid but it’s only been 2 years since I migrated.

I have used openwrt but only for a WiFi AP, not as a real router. I’ve since moved to a Unifi AP which works fine, but I won’t buy their stuff again for other reasons.

I ran it on Hyper-V for many years. Still running OPNsense that way. It manages 4 VLANS, RDNSBL, a metric ass ton of firewall rules, and several VPN clients and gateways, with just 2GB of ram and 4 virtual procs. It works and doesn’t even breathe hard.

Bye, hope you can figure out the one simple checkbox that blocks all that stuff on whatever other aggregator you end up on.

Hoes for Hitler.
