I'm doing it as VM running in truenas, it works perfect. The LAN nic is shared between host and OpnSense and the wan is passed through to the VM as hardware.

It's much better than my USG4 pro, so that is next to the server turned off

Depending on where you are from, there won't be much change in the price the experts say... But grain to poor countries in for example Africa will be effected much more.

So Putin is mad about losing in Ukraine, so now Africa have to suffer also ...

Same here, very happy about mxroute, they even have a plan where you pay once for lifetime account.

I icky think Elon is upset about that ;)

I've never used Yunohost, but I've tried many other ways of self hosting. From barebones Linux machine to using truenas now.

Proxmox and truenas are the best I've used. Proxmox and the LXC containers are just so very cool :) But I did end using truenas, simply because of truecharts.

I don't want to spend forever installing something new, so using a shortcut is pretty cool and nothing wrong with that if it works 💪

That picture could as well have been from Aarhus in Denmark - looks pretty much exactly the same. Good picture btw :)
