Thank you DrGonzoNL
I understand the point about the hardened FreeBSD. I will think about the Proxmox option. I still have an old ALIX1d device here. Any idea whether proxmox will also work on this device?
Thanks for you quick and concise help!

General Discussion / Install pi-hole directly on opnsense device

« on: May 19, 2020, 09:04:41 am »

Hello,

In my SOHO network I am running an APU2C4 on which I installed the current opnsense (dhcp). I switched from pfsense a couple of months ago and everything is running smoothly,
I have seen pi-hole in action and I especially like the versility to block addresses for each single client. I know that pi-hole not only runs on raspberry pis but also on other linux machines. So that should basically also work on an apu2c4 with opnsense installed.
I'd prefer not to add a dedicated raspberry for pi-hole, if possible, as this would clutter even more he technical area where I have a cable modem, the apu2-router, and a switch.

My question:
Is it possible to install pi-hole directly on the apu2c4 machine? Has anybody done this and perhaps has a tutorial or alike?
Any help is appreciated.
I haven't found this topic here in the forum, but if I overlooked it, I would also be grateful for a hint.
Thank you
Marc
