Transparant bridge with 2 nic's

@Jaapaap Do you control the router you have and seem to like? Not your ISP? Do you trust it? If the answer to all these is "yes", you won't gain much but an incredible amount of complexity by adding a bridging firewall.

I trust my router (Asus expertwifi business line) and my isp enough.
I don't use port forwarding and got a openvpn connection on the router for when needed.
I am planning on setting up Cloudflare for outdoor home assistant use, so I think I am safe enough for a home user.

Given your reply I guess I had a fun ride exploring opnsense, but I probably use the machine for Adguard (completely new to that to, but it keeps me occupied 😄).
Thanks for the quick course and the adventure in opnsense.
