This is sad. I built a home OpenBSD router several years ago using the APU2. I haven't touched it/loggied in for several years although I keep meaning to so i can update the OS. It's been sat ticking along nicely doing DNS, DNS filtering, cross subnet routing, wireguard for remote hiccup free. I'm not sure there's any equivalent now?

I'm guessing protectli might be a contender here. I think they're able to router gigabit as well. I think there are some similar variants that can be had from Aliexpress but I certainly wouldn't be running those as my router.

  Only the OPNsense seems to support ECC memory. The Intel boards would be so amazing if not for their artifical segmentation.

    I have a Xeon D1521 board that I use which does support ECC. It was under $500 when I bought it, but can't find it now. Supermicro does make a mITX board around it with 2x10GbE for $800. Asrock (which made the board I have) sells a uATX one in mid $500 range (I think I spent $499 on mine[1]). 1: https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=D1521D4I#Specifications https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=D...
