opnsense on microtik?
«

Hello all, hoping some of you may have some input that I can run with. Right now i have a sophos UTM that's running opnsense. It works great but I'm limited to the 1gig ports on it. I'm wanting to upgrade to a router with sfp+ ports and eliminate the small sfp+ switch I have after my firewall altogether. I'm a network engineer for an ISP and we use microtik hardware to run the entire network because it's lightweight and seems to be reliable but... I don't want to pull my home network off the opnsense firewall. I don't necessarily care if it's microtik hardware per say, that just happens to be handy and i can get it cheaper being we have stacks of them laying around.
Does anyone have any experience trying to get opnsense to run on microtik hardware? I'm looking at one of these (CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS Mikrotik Cloud Core Router)
But if there is any other hardware you have experience with that has sfp+ ports that will run opnsense I'm all ears. Ideally I'd like to get one with at least 3 open sfp+ ports to eliminate one of my switches.

I would also be quite interested in finding out if this is possible. I have two different RouterBoard devices (2011 and 3011) and would love to get OPNsense working on both if possible. My speed requirements aren't quite as high as the OP's, so the gig ports along with a single sfp connection are adequate for my home networking needs.
Ideas about how to do this, or even reasons it is not achievable would be appreciated.

The MikroTik CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS is based on ARM architecture, hence is not supported as OPNsense can be currently installed on x86-64 hardware only.
Have a look here
