Slight deviation from programming per-say but since this is I2P I have to imagine that at least a few of you are paranoid enough to have a hardware firewall like a Netgate with Pfsense.
I'm settling down in a new place in the next couple of weeks and I'm looking at setting one up myself and just wanted to probe and see what ya'lls experience has been and if anyone has tips.
I've been casually on the official reddit but you never know who really takes security seriously on the clearnet
My reaction was ultimately “meh” to pfsense for home use. My skill sits somewhere between somewhere higher than a hobbiest and lower than someone who does a lot of networking professionally.
I found OPNSense way better for UI, and better able to handle upgrades on older machines that are getting out of recommended spec with pfsense.
I’ve also found openwrt to be fantastic with the right hardware.
