    HaGeZi's Pro++ may cause some false blocks.

    Using pfSense with a L3 core switch

    Opnsense just released this week a major update with BSD 14 (moving from BSD 13), maybe it is a good chance to give it a try.

    Using pfSense with a L3 core switch

    This is a malware domain, blocked by Mastercard. Use dig command to see which dns providers actually block this malicious domain. (OpenDNS free plan does not block it, while Cisco Umbrella paid tier, blocks it as malware) For example dig a4p.adpartner.pro @9.9.9.9

    Using pfSense with a L3 core switch

    Also supports TLS, for those who use Unbound and android devices. tls://208.67.222.222 tls://208.67.220.220

    Using pfSense with a L3 core switch

    We are out of topic, but since we are talking about dns, I would post my thoughts: Cisco Umbrella/Opendns: +Spend the most money on dns infrastructure than anyone else +Don't add any experimental features -Have no malware blocking on the free tier. Google DNS: +Many locations and good...

    Using pfSense with a L3 core switch

    You can set Domain Overrides on Unbound, so you will use other dns servers for these domains that get blocked. I'm saying this because you may face blocks using other dns services too.

    Every list that is included in a BIG list that you may already use.

    AdGuardHome AdGuardHome Blocklists

    Some lists (like OISD Big and Hagezi++) include many other lists. Adding those lists is a waste of memory and cpu.

    Using pfSense with a L3 core switch

    the return packets will be allowed because it is a stateful firewall and if a packet is allowed to leave, the reply is also allowed to pass.

    Using pfSense with a L3 core switch

    DNS resolver seems faster and more reliable. I've been using unbound in this mode for the past 3-4 months and don't plan to change it.

    Advice needed on Access Points system (Unifi / Omada / Netgear / Zyxel / Grandstream / Dlink)

    Some channels can transmit at higher power than others, due to local regulations. For example if you compare a channel higher than 100 with channel 36, the later range will be reduced significantly. When comparing 2 APs, use the exact same channel.

    Advice needed on Access Points system (Unifi / Omada / Netgear / Zyxel / Grandstream / Dlink)

    Zyxel Nebula offers a free license that is more than enough for 3-4 APs.

    Do i need an IoT VLAN

    Do you need a guest VLAN? I have a "not trusted" VLAN with devices that don't get software updates and also guests.

    Upgraded Opnsense Firewall Router hardware

    You can play with IPv6 which is more exciting than L3 routing 😜😜

    Upgraded Opnsense Firewall Router hardware

    L3 switches help inter-vlan traffic. Do we have inter-vlan traffic at home or in a small business? Probably not, as we put guests/IoT on a separate network in order to prevent them from communicating with other networks, not helping them with L3 routing.

    VyOS for Home

    They are preparing a very beautiful graphical interface for VyOS They have many builds available. I would choose one that is said to be stable in the forums. Some of these build have been used for the stable release.

    pfSense No More Without Paid Version?

    But they don't have firewalls for this market* and when you get firewalls and switches from different vendors, you get worst insight of your network. *Meraki Go firewall is a very weak product

    pfSense No More Without Paid Version?

    let’s plan for the next 5 years: would you pay $645 + your hardware for pfsense or pay same or less money for a Cisco router with 5 years lifetime? (eg cisco meraki go) I would buy something from Cisco or Fortinet (with no license) with this amount of money over 5 years.

    pfSense No More Without Paid Version?

    Two things I just heard: 1. Opnsense will move to BSD 14 as soon as their next big release. 2. Negate put Kea DHCP only to the paid version, leaving CE version with the ISC dhcp that is EOL.

    pfSense No More Without Paid Version?

    But you can easily go from CE to the paid version.
