OPNsense NIC compatibility seems mostly down to FreeBSD compatibility since it's built on the latter. So you can look at guides for FreeBSD itself or other systems based upon it. For example, STH's rundown of "Top Picks for F

Yeah, and there are solid performance reasons for that too even beyond any legal/privacy ones. Relaying across an ocean could actually be a fairly significant latency hit in many cases. Services that are completely focused on privacy e

As well as what others have said ("alarm fatigue") specifically to this case, I think it falls under the more general category of "Resource Exhaustion Attacks". Most tech types think of those primarily in the context of
