What do you run; Opnsense, pfsense, Smoothwall, maybe a WAF like wazuh?

Today was update/audit firewall day. I’m running a standalone instance of pFsense on a Protectli Vault FW4B - 4 Port - Intel Quad Core - 8GB RAM - 120GB mSATA SSD with unbound, pfBlockerNG, Suricata, ntopng, and heavily filtered. I did bump the swap to 8 GB as I’ve previously noticed a few ‘out of swap’ errors under load.

Before I signed off, I ran it through a couple porn sites to see if my adblocking strategy was working. Not one intrusive ad. Sweet!

Show me what you got.

    Protectli

    I love my Protectli. I tried Opnsense. Seemed to be a well put together piece of open source software by people really who care. There’s nothing wrong with it. Does what it says on the tin. I guess I just liked the flow of pFsense. They both acomplish the same thing. I am aware of the pro’s and the cons of each. pFsense just appealed to me more.
