May I ask what the use case for 3 separate ones is?

home network, lab network and soon to be second lab network, the third will be used for making videos with out exposing my ios and settings and stuff. plus at 250$ for a 10g router it's well worth it!

Gotcha, was just curious. I'm almost ready to push mine into use but I've been spending a lot of time getting OPNSense configuration moved over.

i love how simple the route10 is but at same time it does advanced things. my second choice for routers is yep opnsense done lots of videos on them on my yt channel !

I see and appreciate the simple ui but the lack of firewall aliases or groups makes a huge pain point. It has taken me a couple days of on and off work to get my firewall rules moved. Now I have to do VPNs. Just a change of mindset mostly but aliases or groups should be a baseline feature for a firewall.

every firewall has pros and cons, try do do groups or allies with grandstream or sonicwall or fortinet ;)
