I have a Protectli box running OPNSense and it's been great once I figured out how to get its implementation of unbound working with my Pihole.
And they can even use coreboot supposedly, but I haven't had the butthole to flash it.
Also, ditch pihole for blocky. It's faster and uses less RAM, and is far less complex. And it will run right on FreeBSD, no separate machine required. Couple it with prometheus and grafana and you even get pretty graphs just like pihole.
@Godort @Killercat103 It’s so funny (to me) how this would potentially sound so dirty to someone unfamiliar with Open Source software.
A $70 box off ebay will run opnsense quite well. Put in a cheap network card for the extra ports.
For APs you can buy routers that are supported by OpenWRT and flash them, I doubt a BPI-R3 would have acceptable performance as an AP.
Oh wow, I'd never hear of Protectli until now and I'm really intrigued. They have a 4 port that looks absolutely perfect! Thanks!
