  • currently my setup is a dsl modem that goes, to my router/WAP which is a eero, that i plan to eventually replace with a Banna pi R4 which will run openwrt. but as of now the eero goes to my 48 port in my server room, and i have all my computer jacked into that. so to answer your question, my firewall is handled by my router and individual local rules by my machines. im kinda new to self hosting and port forwarding and pfsense looks pretty useful. i know pfsense is based on freebsd so is that a big plus vs openwrt?

    please let me know, what some potential solutions could be.

















  • Does anybody use openrc? Ive used systemd on my gentoo install until recently my x99 motherboard just killed itself. Which i had LUKS + secureboot + tpm which left my gentoo install unrecoverable. I have a stage 4 tarball which is 2 months old that i can recover from. But im almost tempted to try to run OpenRC as my init system. Does anybody use openrc and if so what experiences have you had in comparison to systemd?

    I know theres more steps to getting services setup compared to systemd at least in the gentoo install guide.
