Hello everyone,
I'm considering on just buying ready-made hardware since it's hard to find parts which will consume power below 40 watts (at least here in the Philippines) to build my own. I wanted to prepare for the overall cost as well, so I looked around.
Reason why I'm posting though is because I'm not sure where to buy certified hardware. opnsense.org says the official shop is shop.opnsense.com but here in the forum, the banner at the top says buy at applianceshop.eu, which is the site advertised by deciso.com under the Where to buy page.
Adding to the confusion are the models available on each site. Under shop.opnsense.com, I can see models like DEC670 and 690. On deciso.com though, the model numbers appear to be older (600 to 630). I haven't opened the applianceshop.eu site yet because, upon checking for site reputation data at virustotal.com, a security vendor named Quttera tagged the domain as "suspicious" so it made me pause out of concern.
Can anyone in the community tell me which one is the right place to buy OPNsense hardware? Thanks in advance.
Anyone have any thoughts on where to buy?
AFAIK all 3 sites are run by Deciso Sales BV. Seems shop.opnsense.com has the newer hardware

Interesting. This is one of those instances where I wish those who operate e-commerce sites would refrain from using Let's Encrypt certificates and go for the ones with extended validation as it makes it easier for customers to know if it's an official site or not. Looking up the WHOIS record via ICANN doesn't help as well: only the registrar is indicated for opnsense.com and .eu TLDs are not supported.
Thanks for the comment though.
As stated above. Opnsense -> Deciso has its own hardware shop. But there are others too.
