I'm old-school, prefer a separate router box. I've seen videos on YouTube
running Opnsense/pFsense as a VM, and it doesn't *feel* right to me.

I ran pfSense at work for some time, like it a lot.

It was news to me, too. Their OS and UI is a little limited compared to
OpenWRT, but the parental controls are nice. What sold me on it was the
cumulative time limits - I can limit my kids' total time per day, not just
what times of day they can log on.


... If it isn't broken, I can fix it.
