I am planning to eventually build my own home server, and when I do I will hook it up via ethernet. But I do want to switch away from the generic FIOS router and use my own for more control over my data and security. Any recommendations?

    Any specific reason to move from a Mikrotik to OPNsense?

      I just want to hate my life again when setting it up. But I’d also like to reconsolidate my VMs. Currently running a server and the router. My server hosts a few networking services.

      I’d rather be able to turn off the big server when I’m out for work to save power.

      So if I can run a lower powered router the the ability to run containers and VMs for network essential tasks, and then turn off my power hungry server for trips that can span a few weeks.
