Neat!
I already have an OpenBSD firewall running on a PC Engines APU 2. Despite this, I still learned a few things from this guide (namely that urpf-failed already handles antispoof and that scrub shouldn't just be littered without any consideration).
I was actually impressed at how well things perform despite the BKL of OpenBSD. I have only a 350Mbps down 35Mbps up connection and OpenBSD is nowhere near being a bottleneck.

- elevation 5y agoAs someone who had considered a similar setup, what model of edgerouter? Would you consider doing a writeup? What kind of speeds did you achieve?
- na85 5y agoI get line speed with the Ubiquiti software installed. Here's a writeup I did last year but it doesn't touch on OpenBSD: https://0x85.org/ubiquiti.html https://0x85.org/ubiquiti.html I'm mostly over BSD in general. I don't know why, given that Debian exists and performs much better, I'd reach for BSD unless it had support for some esoteric hardware that Linux doesn't support.
