I used pFSense for years until Netgate took over. That is when I switched to OPNSense (maybe 2019/2020, don't remember excatly). Since then, I've had OPNSense (runnign on a Lenovo m720q tiny) and Unifi (APs and UNVR) for wireless and cameras. I like this setup, it gives me all the advanced routing features I want and have become accustomed. I'm sure Unifi routers are good for most use cases and would have the added convenience of one interface for everything. However, I've not been impressed with price to performance ratios for their past offerings (ie. the routing capabilities of OPNsense with an i5 CPU and option for swapping a quad port 1gbe nic to a dual port 10gbe nic) is hard to compete against. That said, the UDM-SE looks interesting.

I really like Connect. Not sure if it's "the best" but it's free and does everything I need it to.

MAM is why I have a seedbox.

I installed mine on OPNsense. I used the OPNsense documentation: https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/wireguard-client.html. Here is another guide: https://www.comparitech.com/blog/vpn-privacy/road-warrior-vpn-wireguard-opnsense/. And yet another if you want to set it up in docker: https://linuxiac.com/how-to-set-up-wireguard-vpn-with-docker/. However, the firewall rules can get a bit messy.

Why add the third party? Just run an instance of wireguard on your home network and call it a day.

I'm running two Lenovo Tiny PCs with the 5650ge for my kids to play minecraft and Fall Guys (can connect them to the VESA mounts on the back of the monitor). This opens up a whole new level of gaming in that micro form factor.

Damn, this hits hard in your mid 30s.

Gdit, I would argue with you if my bullet ranking wasn't 600 points higher on Lichess.

True pirates only get their Internet from the parking lot of a BK lounge, 😂.

 

I'm on the search for a cost effective SOHO router with solid Wireguard support. The main purpose is to allow my parents to access my local media share and also share my streaming accounts. I've rolled with pFSense/OPNSense the last several years and I'm think that may be too complicated to also setup at their home. I want something they can effectively unplug/plugin when they need to reset it or, at the worst, go to a simple web interface to make a change that I can guide over the phone.

I'm currently looking at the Asus AX86/88U devices, but I'm open to whatever would work the best.
