I didn't see this flying around, and someone had to start it, so I figured I might as well.
An NXP-based router (https://mono.si/) that... should support OPNsense (https://opnsense.mono.si/). I wonder about the hardware offloading, as I figure it would play hell with monitoring/logging.
It looks like the first development kit sale has closed, awaiting a second or production run. Hopefully they make it, but it's a tough market.
Maurice, do you have one?
Yes, I have one and it does indeed run OPNsense. Hardware offloading is supported and really sets it apart from anything I've seen before. And yes, it can offload connections which are firewalled by pf. Pretty impressive.
I recommend watching Tomaž's latest video on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSZYNP41xqA).
Cheers
Maurice
Full disclosure: I've been contracted by Mono to maintain their OPNsense update server.
Tomaž's videos would show up in my algorithm from time to time. Awesome development w.r.t to OPNsense. Very cool, @Maurice!
I did cringe a bit when he mentioned Claude, but those are very appreciable gains that he discussed. I guess the question I have is whether the AI produces fewer bugs and vulnerabilities than a team of humans would.
