Most fiber services register the sfp/sfp+ module. it is much cheaper, easier and usually not against the terms of service to just use the isp-provided sfp in your own routing device instead of messing with OLT settingw and custom firmware on a $160 WAS.

Follow the guides at pon.wiki for replacing your ISP modem with a sfp module running custom firmware. The sfp module will require some sort of active cooling, I bought a 3D printed bracket and fan from their discord server. You can also get a sfp to Ethernet media converter if your firewall does not have sfp: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0FCFWGWHT

Excellent resources! Both the wiki and the miniPC! Thanks.
I was once thinking of virtualizing OPNsense but heard it’s a lot of pain during the setup and throughput can suffer. But I shall keep this is mind.
