Thanks! I'll research those options.

General Discussion / Initial Setup Questions
« on: March 13, 2021, 11:06:10 pm »
Hello! I’m new to the forums, and I’m planning on a complete rebuild of my home network, which was first set up about 20 years ago.
I’m considering OpnSense for my new firewall/router. I have Verizon Fios for my ISP (fiber-to-the-premesis) and my bandwidth is 100Mb/s symmetrical). I have four users with about 60 or so active devices.
I’d like some advise on hardware for an OpnSense system. I’d like to have Intrusion Detection, Intrusion Protection, VPN, and possibly QOS and squid.
Question, would any of those features be overkill for my needs? I suppose squid would be overkill, but I’m thinking that it might help speed up access to commonly used web sites.
In any case, I’m considering using something like https://protectli.com/product/fw4b/ for my OpnSense box. Does this look like it would fit my needs?
