I forgot to update this but I had been running it as an LXC listening on two internal OVS bridge ports for a while until I was playing around with OPNsense and realized they had a maltrail plugin. Now I'm monitoring traffic on the OPNsense WAN (not my public ISP WAN but a separate internal network) and the OPNsense LAN.

The hardware was refurbished, including a quick analysis of the equipment. I quickly realized that modern and up-to-date network firewall firmware could be installed on both devices without much effort and high costs. Since #BSDRP , #OPNSense and #pfSense no longer support x86 (i586/i686) architectures, the choice fell on the current #OpenWrt and #DDWRT versions for x86 (i586/i686) architectures. 2/3

Highlight: Was haben wir eigentlich ohne #ZFS gemacht? Auch Industrie kann schick sein.

Frohe Ostern!

My aging #Ubiquiti Edgerouter-X is failing. So, I spent 3 hours yesterday trying to set up a new #Unifi Gateway Max without success. I'm returning it.

I decided to just get a #miniPC with dual 2.5Gbe and install #Opnsense on it. (This guy: a.co/d/431PbIV)

I'm hoping it arrives early because I'm not sure the Edgerouter will last until next month. I've also never used Opnsense, so this will be another grand experiment.

Maybe I'll install it in a VM on Proxmox for now so I can FAFO.

Ich habe das Update durchgeführt, und offenbar wurde dabei auch mein Router neu gestartet. Was mich gewundert hat: Normalerweise ertönt am Ende eines Reboots ein akustisches Signal. Dieses Mal hat es jedoch ungewöhnlich lange gedauert, bis das Signal kam. Zur Sicherheit den Router nochmals neu gestartet, aber auch dieser Vorgang hat deutlich länger gedauert als üblich. Zwischenzeitlich dachte ich schon, der Router hätte sich aufgehängt. Aber jetzt läuft alles wieder.

My #OpnSense router upgrade tanked today. However I managed to download an image with my phone as a hotspot and began the reinstall process ... Only to find that the installer was happy to use the existing settings off the hard drive! I'd like to thank whichever genius came up with that idea. It saved hours of fiddling around and Just Worked(TM) #BSD

So looking at my home networking, I've got three main options

1. Keep opnsense as the router, possibly even keep the switch but add a 2.5gb switch
2. Go crawling back to unifi (less likely, $$$)
3. Swap the core out with Microtik, including router and core switches

The third option is really interesting to me, but I've heard people talk about limitations that they've encountered with Microtik so I'm really curious how people feel about them and what those limitations were
