  • Anyone having experience ipfire compared to PF/opnsense?

    I’m using opnsense but it’s based on BSD and the hardware support for my PCengine APU2C4 NICs isn’t so great, I’ve read Linux based Firewalls might have better support (=performance=throughput). Only getting around 60MBs with plain firewalling, no IPS etc.

    Opnsense seems to be much more feature complete though and all my searches for switching between them find only posts of people going from ipfire to opnsense.




  • That’s cool! I’ve always had the idea of a small k3s cluster on old phones with postmarketOS. I guess it doesn’t work with older phones which don’t have the latest Android Version but given the homelab trend generally goes towards small, low power devices, this could continue the trend with super small and low power phones. Probably in 2 years when current gen phones rotate out of company leasing contracts?
