I just got it, it’s only being used as an access point so can’t really say about all their features.

I considered suricata but for now I think crowdsec works well enough, I’ll see later if I think suricata could be more useful

Personal preference, it’s what I’ve been using since I started my homelab and I think it works well enough.

At the moment I only have one WiFi instance, not planning to separate yet but it could be a future upgrade since I have a few IoT devices.

It’s the most cost effective I found that had a decent CPU and multiple Ethernet ports. I was not able to find a local alternative in the same form factor

Will have a look, thanks!

Indeed it’s a topton mini pc/firewall. It’s costs 300€ on AliExpress :) I removed Pfsense and installed opnsense

I’m running on bare metal. I have a physical homelab behind. Can’t you add ram?
