Comment on Suggestions to new networking gear
Bimbleby@lemmy.world 7 months agoI work with the Azure cloud infrastructure, with quite a bit of networking included, so it’s one of the motivations of not necessarily taking the easy route. What hardware are you using?

Oh nice. For mine personally I have a proxmox server and pfsense is one of my vms. It’s not my edge router though because I am not passing through the nic it is using directly to the firewall so technically it would be proxmox virtual switch on the edge which I don’t inherently trust so my provider router is at the edge and I just port forward any ports for services I need. This can all be simplified of you just get a physical appliance from netgate website lol. I’m planning on doing so myself in the near future. It’s a great product though software wise once you get the hang of it it’s fairly straightforward. Fortigate also has home equipment but I think it comes with license cost. I’d look into it if you have money to spend because they are another industry leader.
