I've started building an OPNsense box to replace my enterprise router on similar hardware. I needed more ethernet ports for more zones, but otherwise very similar.

I have lots of complicated rules in my existing router that need to be ported over and testing is going to take a while, but it'll be worth it in the end.

And as soon as it's set up and working properly, Im going to wipe it and restore from a backup. Because I'm the type of hacker who tests my backups! 🤓

Awesome! And yes 💯 same :)

I have a couple of switches, so I don't really need the extra lan ports on the firewall. I keep two of the firewall lan ports free from always on VPN, because sometimes it's useful.
