In spite of my entire satisfaction with it, I had to ditch my OPNsense router... Its unbound ad filtering DNS is among the features I miss most from it.

- dbtc 4y agoWhy did you have to ditch?
- liotier 4y agoBus factor. I had a very nice home setup (three 24 ports switches and a 6-port router) with multiple VLAN, GPON terminated on my own device (emulating the ISP's hardware), bonded Ethernet links, fully routed IPv6, sane firewalling, ad-filtered DNS, reverse proxy etc. - but I was the only person in my home (six kids + adults) to know how to maintain it. Anything happens while I'm away and Internet access stops. I borked an update and was offline for a couple of days - that was once too many for the users. So we are back to the ISP's router, no VLAN and soon some Wireguard overlay for my hosting. I'm sad about this: replacing infrastructure I control with the ISP invading my home, replacing tailor-made with generic consumer products, replacing native Internet with yet another overlay network... But MTTR rules my world.
