Are there any options other than OPNsense that are worth considering for a home network/small business? It is all I use and it is all I ever see mentioned.
I was on opnsenseloved everything about itbut my job is also ITand we had some clients with sophossophos was for renewal and we could get good payday if we were able to replace itI planned opnsense but picking the hardware is an issue, picked miniPC for some locations I did not care about, runned it as a VM too on regular server when I cared about..but I said enough is enough, this cant be always this fight and uncertainty if I can get hardware or not, and how long it takes.went with ubiquitireplaced my home opnsense toodeployed ubiquiti at like 5 other locationsno thinking just buying 100€ UCG ultra for mostUDM for bigger locationseveryting works fine, vlans, site to site VPN, even has suricata running, geoblocking worksremote managment without much work is cherry on topI dont feel as much in control as I did with opnsensebut its fine and I made good money from all the deploymentsall the while unifi is disgustingly simple compared to time and effort I put in to opnsense
