Hi all,
anyone has any experience with this machine for running opnsense? I鈥檓 expecting to do mostly vlan, vpn, ad blocking, and general experimentation with opnsense. Do you advise other machines of the same or other brands? I don鈥檛 expect to spend much money for now as this is mostly to get my feet wet with custom routers
I鈥檝e been looking into the Futro S920 and even though it seems a great fit, it鈥檚 a bit too big. I was looking something of a smaller form factor.

While I like the form factor I鈥檓 unsure about the built in Ethernet and it鈥檚 suitability under openbsd.
I鈥檇 try out opnsense and if that fails to work I鈥檇 have a look at openwrt. Opnsense just feels a bit more polished but both are more than capable for what you talk about.
If you plan on setting it up as a router-on-a-stick remember you need vlan support on the switch it鈥檚 connected to.
That鈥檚 good advice thank you!
Do OpenWRT and you鈥檒l be golden, but for opnsense, I don鈥檛 know
How鈥檚 power consumption on it?
Absolutely amazinfg, it鈥檚 insanely well optimized since it鈥檚 made for low power hardware
That鈥檚 great to hear thank you! I think I鈥檓 going for this machine.
