      I personally would stick to *sense. I personally used OPNSense there’s a huge community backing, well documented, and actively maintained. I like to use the CLI, but using the Web GUI was a breeze and I mainly wanted to set it and forget it.

      pf/opnsense essentially provide web interfaces to the underlying
      FreeBSD OS tooling. In this case I’m running plain OpenBSD. That means
      configuring the system is mainly done by reading and writing text
      files and doing stuff at the command line. There’s a whole bunch of
      reasons why some people prefer one way or the other or even mix things
      up a bit. My recommendation is, if you’re interested, have a go
      administering a system without a web interface and see how you feel!

    Been thinking about buying a similar setup, and you just pushed me into buying a “Chinabox”

    Let’s see how this goes, if It explodes you owe me a beer, and a pair of hands, and another chinabox (I’m not a quitter)

    Really cool! I never touched *BSD, I have a mini PC/NAS home that ended with a minimal Arch install. This is something I can do at some point.

    And what about Wireless networks?

      Normally you use a separate AP to do that. BSDs don’t normally have good support for WiFi cards. Consumer WiFi cards aren’t really meant for use as APs anyway.

    Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I’ve seen in this thread:

    Fewer Letters More Letters
    AP WiFi Access Point
    NAS Network-Attached Storage
    Unifi Ubiquiti WiFi hardware brand

    Is this a qotom? When I bought mine the description on Amazon said it could be turned on via power restore from bios but I have 0 power settings in bios. No wake on lan, nothing.

    I’ve searched for how to update the bios (or if this would even help) but it’s hard to find clear information.
