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... #homeserver #pfsense #virtualization ► Proxmox Disk Pass-Thru https://dannyda.com/2020/08/26/how-to-passthrough-hdd-ssd-physical-disks-to-vm-on-proxmox-vepve/ ► Installing Realtek Drivers On PFSense: https://www.reddit.com/r/PFSENSE/comments/t872mx/fix_issues_with_realtek_nic_on_pfsense_260/ ► PIVPN Host Setup: (This is for Vanilla WireGuard on Alpine, but the host setup stuff is the same) https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/proxmox-lxc-container-alpine-linux-set-up-wireguard-vpn-server-howto-05-2022-rev1.110778/ ► Seeed Studio Odyssey https://www.seeedstudio.com/ODYSSEY-X86J4105800-p-4445.html --------------------------------------------------- Music (in order): "Hardware Haven Theme" -Me (https://youtu.be/FwD2mOYDPNA) "The Butterfly Nose" - GARRISON (https://soundcloud.com/garrison-brown) "Town Groove" - Me "CRENSHAW VIBES" - GARRISON --------------------------------------------------- Gear I Use: (affiliate links) ► Camera - LUMIX G7 https://amzn.to/3LmfGdk ► SD Cards - SanDisk Extreme PRO https://amzn.to/3BPXrd1 ► Capture Card - EVGA XR1 https://amzn.to/3Bn8qt7 ► Studio Lights https://amzn.to/3BnYrUd ► Microphone - Shure SM7b https://amzn.to/3BP0TEB ► Interface - Presonus Quantum https://amzn.to/3QVeX3T ► Teleprompter https://amzn.to/3BxcN50 --------------------------------------------------- Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 0:30 Today's Sponsor - Hello Fresh 2:05 What Am I Doing? 6:00 The Hardware 6:56 Assembly Montage 7:48 The Software - Proxmox 8:18 PFSense Setup 11:15 Pi-hole 12:24 Wireguard 14:13 Why I'm Lame 15:08 What Next?
