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: 6 months ago
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: 6 months ago
BSDs may not have a significant presence on desktops, but they're well known in the networking world for their reliability. They also were the foundation used to build OSes for specific applications. OpnSense and XigmaNAS, for example, are two excellent FreeBSD based applications aimed at firewalling/security and NAS/services. https://opnsense.org/ https://xigmanas.com/xnaswp/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

After I allowed the fortinet.com URL, all off the dashboard are loading... Source: over 1 year ago
I have noticed that I cannot login to Fortinet by going to fortinet.com then clicking the login to cloud button represented by a profile head outline. Fortinet cannot recreate the issue but people on my team do. I can login with support.fortinet.com I just thought it was neat for this button to be broken for so long. Anyone else recreate?
