Should you build your own router with OPNsense or pfSense?
If you're wondering whether you need to use a custom platform to manage your internet, here's everything you need to think about.
If you're into home labbing and networking, building your own router with software like OPNsense or pfSense might sound like a lot of fun, but to be honest, it's not for everyone. Not only do you need slightly more specialist hardware, but there's a lot of work that goes into maintaining your network, too; significantly more than if you had just stuck with your ISP's router.
