    Using pfSense with a L3 core switch

    I've been running pfSense with a TP-Link T1600G-28TS in managed L2 mode as my core switch for a while now where interVLAN routing including mDNS is managed by the pfSense box.

    Xiaomi Mi AC1200 Router

    This is an intriguing router currently not distributed in the US. I'm thinking of getting one and loading OpenWRT/OpenVPN on it to use as a travel router it but was wondering if a reader had experience with this. It has 16MB of flash and 64MB of RAM...
