Dear all forumer, I'm plan to do penetration testing against my OPNSense router to see any weakness in it.
Do you guys know what tools in Kali Linux to use? Thanks in advance.

If you need to ask this, you are in no way remotely qualified to penetration test anything. Live your life, don't stress about this. Sorry, got to be  said.

I have a pretty basic setup on 24.1, any war stories or issues on the built in upgrade to be aware of?

I do regular backups.

It's not a fair test running the speed test on the router itself. The proper way would be to use a wired device connected to the router via the switch (or whatever).

It's one thing ROUTING traffic at speed. It's another thing sourcing and receiving the traffic at speed. It's not the same. Traffic to and from a router itself is not the same as traffic THROUGH a router. So yes, the test itself running on the router will change the result.

Speedtest CLI is pretty good.

Apart from the NIC names, their MACa will also differ, which can be a factor when you use MAC-based rules or dynamic IPv6 aliases.

Thank you! Not running those.

You should be okay. Just make sure you have console access to re-assign the NICs on first bootup. Also you may need to redo vnstat or softflowd interface assignments if you're using those plugins.

Fortunately not using those either!

I will let you know how it goes :D

How should I approach a quad port nic replacement for a different chipset of card? Is it a matter of reassigning the interfaces? I can get back in using the onboard NIC for management, the quad card is used for production traffic.

I have a PPPoE interface that runs on a VLAN, I find after a restart I do not have internet connectivity from the LAN network as the gateway is not selected as the default route.

Once I manually reload the PPPoE interface it then enters the route table internet reachability from the LAN is restored.

Is there some config change I can make to avoid this?
