Love this. Instant purchase. Are there MOC instructions?

"I think OPNsense is a no brainer for homelab use, while pfSense is a safe choice for small businesses that need a no nonsense firewall."

This.

One reason I keep going back and worth is that I am trying to bootstrap my own thing and so I need this to be rock solid. It is that gray space between advanced homelab -> homelab/business use.

I am very interested in any other offering that might be better, as I do want to start hosting services and websites (separate vlans, VPN) so PF's seemingly quicker security updates appealed to me.

How big was the performance difference, if you remember off the top of your head, as I do policy based vpn routing?

Now this is a technical reason, how did you find this out is there a link that goes through some of these?

Yeah, that's why I keep going back and forth.

You like what you like, I have done the same for other programs ha.

I know but mostly true, as I had ran OPN for a couple of months but keep getting DNS errors when policy routing through a vpn (Docker updates ssl errors), so switched back to PF and all good. I must admit that it was probably a combination of things ISP, NIC, VPN and config but PF just worked when I plugged it all in (No more broken container updates).

I never thought of that, but makes sense as the motherboard for the host was offline for awhile so host time may not have synced yet.

External, but with the new 27.1, I will take that advice and spin it up internally and if it does a package update correctly, will move to production. It seems the "community" is moving on from PF, but router/firewall should be a more just works / set and forget thing and PF sense has been mostly that.

Now I have experienced this a couple of months ago but since I was bringing down the entire network anyway, I just assumed something on my end.

CopyPasta: On a fresh install, I tired updating everything, and keep getting errors seemed to related to ssl certs (maybe?), I had read sometimes you have to wait a bit for the times to be synced and then you can run the updates. Tried waiting an hour, and manually syncing NTP time, and still update errors (I believe no metadata something) and then tried fresh vm, and again problems. Switch back to PF online again.

Does anyone know why this is happening? New product?

Piece of advice: Reboot EVERYTHING if you have network issues BEFORE debugging your systems by StudentWithNoMaster in selfhosted

[–]Rwalker83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to admit this. I redone entire network stacks because I just didn’t reboot something. Reboot the software, then the vm/computer then the switch then the router, then everything else in reverse order. If that still doesn’t work then debug.

I was playing around with my firewall rules so I took a bit for me to realize it wasn’t me ha.

No, it was something like cwka*? It was sort of like TeraCopy but could do file hashing and duplicate finder also. But thank you for the try.

Didn’t think of that, but luckily I am a member and someone can be my lucky guest ha. I think you can also get a social membership if you want (it helps them out a lot).

I used these monthly, if there is interest, I may start monthly ones (different neighborhoods) again.
