Replace Your Off The Shelf Router With pfSense (Thank me later)

You should Replace your off the shelf router with pfsense because even if you purchased the most baller router off the shelf, with the most banging Wi-Fi 6E antenna, most chances your device is off the shelf at routing and will become a security hazard in less than 2 years.

When you Replace your off the shelf router with pfsense, you will be entering another world, nothing less than that. first of all, by making the switch, you have left the "mercy" of a device manufacturer for security patches that will only be supplied for a limited time period.

Also, When you Replace your off the shelf router with pfsense, you gain control over every aspect of your network. nothing is locked out just because the manufacturer wanted to sped less money on software development.

Unlike your off the shelf device, pfSense is a router, a firewall and a security appliance capable of IPS, ad blocking, DNS filtering and a whole lot more with additional packages you can install straight from the pfsense web interface.

Unlike pfsense, if you are using and off the shelf router and even more so if you are using your ISP combo modem and router device, you are using a device that its manufacturer goal was to use the cheapest possible components so that the device could be sold the most competitive price.

Moreover, unlike pfsense, the device manufacturers, not only use the cheapest possible components but also, they want to spend as little money as possible on the device after it has been brought to market. this means that the manufacturer will only spends developers time to create patches only if they absolutely have to.

If you are up for the slight technical challenge, making the switch to pfSense will surely be the smart move. your baller Wi-Fi router will still be used , but, it will only be used for what its good at...Wi-Fi! nothing more than that.

So, if you ask me, yes, you should definitely replace your off the shelf router with pfsense and any up-front investment you might to put n is well worth it, especially if you are a tech lover. pfSense is more robust, more secure, open source, future proof and easy to manage.
