i am a small home user that just want a separate subnet for IOT and other stuff. I really am not thinking of real world enterprise network scenarios.

General Discussion / I know :(, sorry that I did not try OPNsense first

In my goal to have IoT devices contained, and gotten a few hickups with OpenWRT, I looked around.

OPNsense and pfSense were the only contenders left after having weeded out the rest/

I tried installing both in my hypervisor beginning, for no particular reason, with pfsense. My lack of knowledge of my hypervisor ended up being unable to also install OPNsense due to NIC passthrough issues.

Anyway back to the issue.

Can one please read up on this forum thread?

It is about how to have multiple non tagged subnets on a single NIC. Something that comes out of the box with OpenWRT. The folks at Netgate seem to think my use case is uncommon.

Will switching over to OPNsense enable me to have N non tagged interfaces on a single NIC?
