FAQ and Concerns:

Why didn’t I use OPNSense?
I just don’t have much experience with it, but I will try it out later, maybe even before I set this up in my home!

PFSense can do basically all of those things with other packages; why not do that?
Honestly, I wasn’t aware of all the packages available, especially the experimental ones. But I also like the flexibility of containers and VMs. I can easily swap to OPNSense later without having to set everything else up again if I want for example. Also, software preference is a thing. It doesn’t mean I think running everything bare metal is a bad idea. Quite the opposite!


I built a virtualized router similar to this a while back, but now I'm going to take it to the next level and build my "ULTIMATE" router. Or something along those lines...
