Only on a 100Mb network and use OpenBSD with an APU4 so it’s more than fast enough for my connection, speed isn’t a problem. The big advantage I see with OpenBSD is the simplicity. Everything about it is simple. Where things are installed and how they are configured is far more consistent than Linux. The inbuilt man pages are fantastic compared to other systems. The fact it comes with nothing installed and you need to turn things on makes it easy to manage as you know exactly what is running, in turn this makes keeping up to date easier. Pf is fantastic and again simple. From not knowing OpenBSD only using Linux before I had a home network with multiple VLANS, cross vlan routing, nat, dns filtering, dns over tls etc in very little time. I’ll be honest the reason I switched to OpenBSD was mainly to play with something new. I previously had a home router running dd-wrt which was ok but clunky ui, hard to know what was running, upgrading was downloading random untrusted binaries off the internet for specific builds that work on my router. I decided this isn’t great so my options where play and build a OpenBSD router or try something like the EdgeRouter. I am glad i went with OpenBSD, it doesn’t hide anything from you, you have absolute control and it’s simple to configure with a few static config files. You really understand what is happening. On top of that, since setting it up, I’ve never touched it. No reboots, no going changing settings, it just works. It’s been set and forget.
