“Just use OPNsense” is great advice for production, but terrible advice for learning.
This article is valuable precisely because it shows how little magic is actually involved in routing.

- Denatonium 6mo agoI would recommend VyOS Stream for this situation. It has better performance and hardware compatibility than *BSD-based software routers, and it also has a nice CLI that is syntactically similar to Vyatta and EdgeOS (found on Ubiquiti's Edgerouter line). In additon, compared to PF/OPNsense or OpenWRT (Linux based), you have more control and exposure to the underlying network concepts with VyOS. You're not configuring the kernel manually, but you still learn quite a bit.
