I’ve been buying these little boxes from AliExpress for years to use as firewalls and routers. My oldest one is almost 9 years old now! OpenBSD installs just fine. Just a BIOS tweak to always boot up after power is restored.

      Ok, cool - do we have astroturfing on lemmy now?

      pfSense has a very good record, but OpenBSD’s record and code quality are literally unparalleled.

      Conversely, I spend a fair bit of time working on devices made by SonicWall, Fortinet, etc. and it’s all fucking garbage.

      Are you concerned about it being designed in China in addition to the conventional and thoroughly ubiquitous “manufactured in China”? Please explain your concerns in detail.
