Any recommendation for a cheap, small #firewall for my #homelab ? I realized I can’t control easily what goes out of my network only via DNS block lists

In that case OPNsense does the exact same thing but with a more intuative GUI. It originally was a fork of pfSense.

Which is why I said that I'm a purist. But whatever works, they're both worth exploring. I got dug-in on my solution a decade ago and haven't really had a reason to change once I learned it.

Cus there isnt a reason to change if you are already super familiar with pfSense. They basically do the same stuff.

I'd agree the OPNsense UI is probably more intuitive if you've never touched PFSense but I found the OPNsense UI difficult coming from many years of PF.
