Be sure to check OPNsense Ethernet card compatibility. When I built my router, it was strongly advised to stick with genuine Intel PCIe network cards. And I’d personally strongly recommend against using a USB to Ethernet adapter. To many reliability issues with the USB side of things.

In a non-conventional setup test, I tried an old Mac mini with two thunderbolt to Ethernet adapters and while OPNsense worked, stability wasn’t optimal.

Of course, your mileage may vary and genuine Intel PCIe cards are quite a bit more expensive than a USB Ethernet adapter.

Hey it’s me, your cousin…

Why wait? Carpe Linux.

I built a split ergonomic keyboard with a trackball on it so I never have to leave.

My standards however will always remain on “No government has any business in private stuff.”

I never thought I’d see someone openly admit, even advocate, that they’re willing to host child sexual assault material on hardware they own. That’s a sad hill to die on.

I don’t really care about anything else you’ve written to justify your blanket standards either. All it takes is one example (CSAM) to show the depravity of your standards.

I’m all about privacy, even so far as to emigrate from the US to a country in the EU for privacy. But I have compassion and empathy and am also aware of ethical behavior, morality, and decency.

Privacy is not more valuable than protecting innocent human lives. If you can’t see that, you are lost. I’m sorry.
