For those wondering, as the OP didn't mention it super-clearly imho - but his internet provider is able to do 25gbit [1] for CHF 69 a month (+ CHF ~340 set up cost) CHF 1 ~= USD 1 these days Question for OP: Why did you build such an expensive "router" - you justify it by saying you also want to run PiHole, but you probably could have done this whole setup much cheaply [1] https://www.init7.net/en/internet/fiber7/ https://www.init7.net/en/internet/fiber7/

The router is more of a server. Pihole is just an example (and yes a $35 pi would be plenty for it) but I have many old servers running all kinds of other things so I decided to update and consolidate some of this.

  Good joke, there are no $35 pis

    I made this telegram bot[1] a while back that uses rpilocator.com and will notify you as soon as one is available from an official reseller. Those resellers should be selling them at the regular price. But yes, if you want to buy one right now, it won't be $35.

    Meh. It’s (supposedly) a transient situation that’ll resolve in due time. More importantly, I and many geeks I know but/bought several when a new model first comes out because they are (were) cheap but electronics wholesalers don’t offer free shipping so it makes sense to buy as many as you think you’ll use (until the next one comes out) in one go to minimize the amortized cost. I miscalculated and ended up using all of mine, but I have friends that still have some of their stock.

  Has the 5800x and opnsense been able to successfully route 25Gbit/s? It's very rare to find anyone running even a 10Gbit link on opnsense/pfsense so it's difficult to know how it performs on high speed links with modern hardware. Would love any details you could share on this! (Might be worth updating your blog post with them)
