It's Sunday somewhere already so why wait?

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

I'll post my ongoing things later/tomorrow but I didn't want to forget the post again.

OpenWRT on a new router. The wifi works better, ethernet works up to 980Mbit/s and I don't have all my traffic routed trough a Huawei device.

And it allows you to configure everything.

Running opnsense here and just plain having my own firewall is the coolest thing.

I need to switch to OPN. Was on pfSense Plus until they csncelled the free licenses so I finally "downgraded" to pfSense CE and now I'm finding it hasn't been updated in 2+ years and I'm really missing having DHCP hostnames being added to local DNS automatically.

Like mDNS?

I'd score openwrt as a perfect 5/7

What router did you use?

[–] verstra 0 points 1 day ago

Linksys MR7360. I just got official support, so i had to install a snapshot and manually install luci.

Why this one? Because it was 50% off due to a local shop closing. Last one on the shelf too.

i just transitioned from a dedicated pfsense machine to openwrt LXC container in proxmox machine

the idea is to have 2 or more openwrt instances in different proxmox machines for some HA routing to my self hosted subnet(s)

going well so far and i think i know a lot more about routing (ha). openwrt is pretty great though.

ps. i think i'm having issues with udp port forwarding but not sure
