OPNsense mentions (94)

• How to bypass public IP and NAT

  Firmware's like Asuswrt-Merlin or OpenWRT can support dynamic-dns, or you can do like I do and run something like OPNsense in an x86 VM with a NIC passed through, or buy an inexpensive firewall appliance (up to 500mbps/1gbps/10gbps). Source: 5 months ago

• Stop ISP from getting into my Router

  The easiest solution is to buy your own router, set it up, disable the router functionality on the Fritzbox 7590 and plug your router into it. It'll be cheaper and easier than a Cisco Firewall, but if you want to go the dedicated firewall route then I would recommenced OPNsense. Source: 5 months ago

• OpenBSD Innovations

  BSDs may not have a significant presence on desktops, but they're well known in the networking world for their reliability.

• Switches That You Actually Own

• Having to pay postage to ship back a DoA product sucks from a customer perspective

  That’s a stupid policy, and it looks like one of my UDMs is defective. I’m an idiot for not just buying good quality open boxes and putting https://opnsense.org/ on them. 🤦🏻‍♂️. Source: 12 months ago

• Penguin, Chicken or Duck? (Eros, OC, Microsoft Bing AI Generated)

  Arch is a popular Linux distribution(basically an os). Him saying that he uses arch is basically a joke that arch Linux users will always mention that they use the distro. (Also a penguin is also the Linux mascot). Source: 5 months ago

• Arch Linux bugtracker migration to Gitlab completed

  Arch sends distribution news every week or so, usually in one or two paragraphs. https://archlinux.org/ I've followed the gitlab migration and every package and distribution change that warranted community notification for more than a decade. It's such an empowering feeling to have tracked all the changes to the distribution over a decade. The Arch maintainer culture has managed to provide consistent high quality... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Can't "sudo pacman -Syu" (jdk-openjdk and jre-openjdk are in conflict)

  I wonder how many people got frustrated with the solution posted on the front page of https://archlinux.org/, as it seems to not have been fixed for 5 days already. Source: 7 months ago
