Follow-up: OpenBSD routers on AliExpress mini PCs
I got lots of replies to the last post showing the little OpenBSD internet gateway setup (super interesting; thanks!). Here’s more info and pictures:

Something I’ve been meaning to share for years now.
yes, thats the purpose of this device. works very well for me so far.
What I meant was, I have a Unifi router and was thinking of putting a dedicated firewall in front of it. Does that make any sense or would the firewall on the unify be just as capable? Before the Dream Machine that is my current router I was running an opnsense router with my Unifi switches behind it so I’m not super unfamiliar with it I guess.
I think opnsense is way more capable than unifi devices, even better if you are familiar. You could try Proxmox too, makes the box more flexible.
If you already have a Unifi router/firewall that’ll work fine, you don’t need this.
