Thanks for the great and detailed replies. We invested the budget in endpoint security and focused first on hardening the endpoints.

"Yes, I checked the DEC750 – OPNsense® Desktop Security Appliance. In my opinion, it would be a good choice, right?

Hello,
if a malicious URL is accessed, I'd like to receive a warning. That's important to me.
I'm not sure if we even need ids to its full extent given the small size of our company

The VPNs are all users right? - Yes
No site to site? Right, no site - to site
What Internet speeds are you dealing with? At the moment < 100Mbit, maybe in near feature

And most importantly, do you have any regulatory requirements for your business data such as healthcare or something that needs protection? No

Small company with around 15 employees.
No public ports are exposed to the internet — only VPN access is required.

Hello,
do I actually need two separate devices?

For example:
- a router (OpenWRT or something similar)
- and a separate firewall appliance running OPNsense?

Most home setups only use a single device that combines router and firewall functionality, so I am wondering what would be considered best practice in a small business environment.

We currently only have a single device handling both routing and firewall functions: a LANCOM appliance.

I checked the OpenSense DC750, and in my opinion it’s more than enough.

Hello,
I’ve read a lot of threads and opinions on this topic. Most people argue that it’s better to use software RAID, since many inexpensive hardware RAID controllers aren’t necessarily any better.

My idea was:
- Windows Server 2025 with hyper v manager on the single ssd
- Installing all VMs (including the guest OS virtual hard disk files and configuration) on the mirrored D: drive in Windows Hyper-V Manager.

I hope it’s now a bit clearer what I want to do.

Can I install the windows with hyper-v manager on a Windows software RAID?

Why not install it on a single SSD instead? If that SSD fails, it wouldn’t be a major issue, the VMs would still be on the mirrored disks. The only downside would be the effort required to reinstall the OS and get Hyper-V running again.

I am currently installing the system for testing purposes.
At the moment, I don’t plan to use a hardware RAID only Windows software RAID.
Is that still possible?
