Surely something like OPNsense/PFsense would be better for the average user than setting up all the software manually?

- MathMonkeyMan 8mo agoI appreciated learning what's involved, though.
- fragmede 8mo agoIn this day and age, if that's what you're after, you can just point an AI at the problem and give it shell access, and it'll just do what you describe (Claude code, codex, etc).

With a regular server/desktop Linux distro, it's also easier to run other services on the same device. For example, nothing prevents you from running nginx and hosting a website, or a personal email server.
