Anyone else having trouble reaching openwrt.org right now? I can't get the forums, main page or downloads. I've done plenty of troubleshooting and there isn't anything else on my network having trouble reaching anything else on the internet. Source: 8 months ago

Is the Verizon one a combined modem/router? If you want to add your own router, you might have to call them and ask them to put it into bridged mode. I like OpenWRT because it gives you a lot of customization options. I've just been running it on an old TP-Link Archer C7 for the past 5 years or so and I haven't had any issues, but that's ancient hardware now. Source: 11 months ago
I see everyone talking about FreeNAS and TrueNAS but what about RockStor? https://rockstor.com/ I've been using their free version for about two years now and so far rock solid (bar the irritating nag screen everytime I go to the dashboard). Source: over 1 year ago
There are OSes (like unraid or RockStor) that give you a GUI for some things, but those are strictly optional. Source: over 2 years ago
Rockstor is another one that rarely gets talked about. I never used it, but it looks interesting and might be good if someone wants a WebUI for managing btrfs. Source: almost 3 years ago
If you're planning to make your own btrfs-based NAS, then you might find Rockstor interesting. Altought not perfect, I've been using it for a long time with zero issues. Source: about 3 years ago
