Quote from: RES217AIII on Today at 05:26:01 PMIf I understand correctly, you want to use OPNsense purely as a Layer 2 bridge and disable all services.
You want to avoid unpacking or readdressing IP packets (no NAT) and consulting routing tables in order to minimize latency.
That's a valid idea!
Quote from: RES217AIII on Today at 05:26:01 PMHowever, doing so means you aren't utilizing 90% of OPNsense's capabilities.
OPNsense is a stateful L3/L4 router with firewalling features.
Quote from: RES217AIII on Today at 05:26:01 PMI get the feeling that specialized solutions would be far better and offer higher performance for your use case than trying to force OPNsense to do something it wasn't designed for.

To our knowledge it wasn't even creating a VIP, just being selectable in some legacy pages as a single pseudo-alias and we simply did not want to bring this cruft into MVC to ease future maintenance burden.
